Words to live by

Sean: I don't need to pull down my pants this time. I have a ziplet!

Berries

We went picking blueberries today since strawberry picking was such a success. We came home with 6 pounds and now are ready for muffins, pancakes, cobbler and pie. It was a bit more tedious since the berries are so small (it takes more effort by little people to pick a large quantity compared to strawberries). We went early to beat the heat, but by 10 am it was horribly hot. The berries look and taste delicious though.

Naturally

The very first words for the forth baby in the family should be: "Uh-oh"....and that is exactly how it has worked out.

I Wish

Poetry by Sarah:

Mom, I wish I were pink.
Daughter, then you'd be very hot.

Mom, I wish I were blue.
Daughter, then you'd be very cold.

School's Out

School is officially out and the packing must now begin. Learning never ends here though as we have swim lessons, safety town, and other fun adventures like horeseback riding we are pursuing. Once we get settled into the new house we plan on taking a long vacation and learning some history in Washington D.C., Williamsburg, and NYC. Life here is always and adventure in learning!

Is there a dentist in the house?

Sarah is in need of a few teeth. We have friends in Charleston who are dentists......wish they were here! Luckily for us, she flashes her toothless smile often and keeps us giggling. Unfortunately for her, her days of corn on the cob and whole apples are on hold until the new ones come in. I'm hoping that is before the new loose ones fall out.

He's Four!

I cannot believe Sean is now four years old. I remember the day he was born, and it seems like only yesterday. He is a very sweet boy who loves his siblings and is generous with them. He likes to do school with Sarah and play legos with Luke. And he loves to make baby Max laugh. Thankfully he is still a cuddle-bug with his Mama. But he is moving on to big kid things. He handed over his blanket upon awaking on his birthday, because he is a big kid now. And watch the video to see what else he can do. Patrick kept track. The learning lesson took 3 whole minutes!
