It's been a while so...

I thought I'd post what's happening in Good Old South Carolina.

Ellie has been busy training Nava, and she's doing fabulous in her obedience and agility lessons. She still struggles to balance the demands of her school work with the added responsibility of another pet to care for.





Blake has been doing very well in his school this year, as long as he has something to motivate him, usually computer time. He is very strong in all his subjects, especially math and reading. Like his mother, his weakness is his handwriting, but he's coming along in that as well. According to his Doctor poor handwriting going along with ADHD. Since he's doing well in school we will continue to manage his ADHD with out medication.

Joseph is finally using the toilet! Just last week I told him we were out of Pull Ups and he woudl have to wear underwear and he is actually making it to the toilet. He still wears a pull up to bed and at quite time, but this is huge for him! He still loves to play games, do puzzles and be read to.
Here he is modeling his new hat and mittens. I have never had a more grateful recipient of my knitting.

Anthony becomes more independent every day, but he still loves to cuddle. He has figured out how to push chairs up tot the counter, so he has a whole new world to explore. I do miss him being little but it's nice that he can play independently for short periods. It gives me some much needed one on one with the bigger kids to work on their school work.
