So I will just share a few new photos I've taken (by erasing the ones I don't really care for on the camera, thus making room for new ones) and let you make up your own stories as to what's been going on lately.
And if you notice that Jacob is missing from the homeschooling photos, it's not an omission on my part. He is now being governmentally schooled in our local primary school. He has a wonderful teacher who is also a friend of mine from church. I feel so blessed that she is the one God has chosen to spend about seven hours a day supervising Jacob. It was a very hard decision for me to make in removing him from homeschooling, but this has been a good move for him, and our home has been much more peaceful during the morning and afternoon. He has cried several times that he misses home and would like to be homeschooled again, but I think we're going to have to wait until he gets some of his impulsive behaviors under control before we try it again. Hopefully in the next year or so. I would like to have him back home, too; as tough as it was with him here, it feels like one of the eggs is missing from the nest sometimes.
Anyway, enjoy the photos.
Girls whipping up some dinner. Washing dishes is required knowledge in this house, starting at age 2. Katie Mei doesn't get enough practice, apparent by her smile.
The girls get some age-appropriate sewing lessons.
Helping Daddy with the new bathroom paint. He thought this was a good idea until he saw her footprint on the wall in the wet paint. Surprisingly, she got none on her clothes!
Playing Mummy Math on a rainy Saturday afternoon.
Naps are still in.
Merrilee started taking a Chinese painting class and is doing very well. These are first tries.
And finally, I got a coupon to a pottery shop and the girls got to paint their own teacups and saucers.
