Wombmates

These pictures crack me up. It was about 7 am this morning and the kids were ready for school. They decided to watch TV and I walked by them and realized Kate and Elizabeth were sitting so close to each other. Then, I saw Anna sit down. I think it is crazy sometimes to think about these girls and what is their "normal." It is hard to imagine going through every major milestone with two other people, but that is all they know.

Grades and Conferences

Well we finished the third quarter. This year is flying by! I had conferences with the kids' teachers this week and saw their report cards. It went well. Jack likes to talk (which we know) and the teacher asked me to ask him who she can sit him next to that he won't talk to, and I said he will talk to the wall! The girls' are coming along, especially Anna has made major improvements in the last month. The reading is clicking and she is able to sound out many words. Kate is the most talkative, but has been getting better with her impulses. All of the girls got good reports on their behavior and maturity.

 Anna's grades

 They had to write a sentence and draw a picture with a sun in it. The sentence could be about anything. This is the first time they have ever been asked to write a sentence.

Basketball Tournament

Jack's basketball season came to end today. It was a great season and really exciting tournament. His team was seeded 4th, and won their first two games this afternoon before losing to the number 1 seed that was undefeated all season. The warriors team kept up with the suns until the last minute and a half when the score was tied and the other team shot a 3 pointer and it went in. Being ahead by 3 points was huge in such a close game. All the boys played their hearts out and did their best. Jack played really well, especially the second game where he scored the first 6 points in the game. He has not ever made that many shots in a single game. He also played good defense. He has improved so much thanks to his great coach he had for the last two years.

Morning Prayer

I was working at school this morning and Jack and his friend happened to be reading the morning prayer. It was nice to be there to hear them!

Kate's Hair

Kate was trying to see how long her hair was getting from the back so I took a picture. I can't believe after 5.5 years, she finally has some hair. This is the same girl as a two year-old was bald! She loved looking at the picture and kept telling Anna she has "long hair."
