The other day Jacob asked me if I thought Ellie had a good life. I told him, "yes she certainly does seem to enjoy being a part of our family".
Here is what it's like to be a part of our family on most days. I took this video to show what it takes for me to catch up on some of my calendar organizing/curriculum planning/letter writing so what you see is four occupied children.
We've got one on line studying which colleges each professional golfer attended, we've got one doing a puzzle who does not like starting puzzles but loves finishing them, we've got one playing with pre-school manipulatives since I finally decided to keep them out and not in a cabinet where they were never used, then we've got Ellie in the middle of it all. Oh and we somehow have the volume of a kids CD kind of loud. That adds to the humor of what our life can look like sometimes and why I think Ellie just fits in nicely here. Never a dull moment for an exploring, growing little girl!
