Francis has been taking each of the kids out for one on one time on different Thursdays this month. William was the first week and chose Chuck E Cheese. Robert the following week chose the same. Last nigh Hannah chose Chuck E Cheese until Francis pulled into the mall parking lot and all the dazzling lights of the travelling carnival lured her to want to ride rides and eat funnel cake instead. All three had a blast with their dad. I get to take them out one on one in November. What a fun way to spend my birthday month!
Last weekend we actually managed to remain in town. We were out and about, but got some chores done too. Monday was our stay home day and also the day Andrew turned 4 months! He's getting so big. He can almost roll both ways (he gets caught on his elbow). Has good head and body control, laughs hysterically at anything he finds funny, finds and grabs things quicker than I can get them away, still naps (Hallelujah, praise God!), and is a joy to all of us.
Tuesday we had CC and then Hannah had dance and Robert had his last skating lesson that evening. Robert passed Basic 1! He has learned so much in the past two months, and we look forward to continuing to practice on our own while we take a break from lessons.
Wednesday we made our final trip to the close library before it closes for 7 months of renovations. We will miss our time there, but can't wait to see the new look! Wednesday was also Andrew's 4 month check up. He is 27 inches long and 16 lbs 3 oz. His head is off the charts (as is his length). I've got another smart kiddo here! The doctor was very impressed with his laughing skills and Andrew as a trooper when it came to shots. He's getting so big!
Yesterday the big three had dentist appointments. They all passed with flying colors! We then went to Bible Study where William did a presentation in front of all the ladies of why he felt like he should pray for those who don't know Jesus. He had put much thought into it and did a great job. After Bible Study we went to the Children's Barnyard at A&M. They had some livestock and farm animals with interesting facts about each and A&M students available to answer any questions. It was a busy but fun day!
We have some friends arriving a shortly so I need to get ready. They are moving houses this week and so I'm watching the oldest three kids for the day. My kids are super excited. I'm actually pretty pumped too. 7 kids here all day should make for some lively adventures!
Till next time!
