I guess it's time for an update from the Davis clan. Everyone is doing well, chugging along with daily life, homeschooling, and work.
I am implementing some new ways of accomplishing our daily homeschooling to make things easier on myself. The kids are actually responding well and seem to like this format better. I'll share later what changes in curriculum and structure we are making. We are also working on reorganizing our home and making better use of space. We have moved many toys and the boys legos, etc upstairs to our loft room. The access is not ideal (a ladder) but it works great for getting all the stuff out of their room and making less clutter.
Baby #5 is growing radiply and getting very active. The kids love to put their heads on my belly and wait for the bump. They love to pretend that he/she is in there saying, "Hey you, move over, your crowding my space!" Kate is in love with her "baby" in Mommy's tummy. I have found that making a big deal about the new baby being the 2yo's "baby" makes the adjustment easier when the baby gets here. Not as much jealosy when they see ownership in this new little person, not someone stealing their attention.
We are busy each week with 2 homeschool co-ops, basketball practices and games for Cody, Cub Scouts for both boys, and various church activities.
We recently celebrated our 11th anniversary followed soon after by Kate's 2nd birthday. I have lots of pics to post of Christmas, Kate's b-day, basketball, and lots of other stuff when i find time to get to it???
