Now they can read

A few weeks ago, Carys woke up wanting pancakes for breakfast (Actually this happens almost every morning). I told her she needed to help out making them. She was happy to help and she actually did the bulk of reading the recipe, finding ingredients and measuring. I think all I had to do was cook them on the stove. She's probably close to being ready to do that but I want her to get a little taller since we have a gas stove. Of course, we had a flour spill (I tried my best not to get too overworked about it). Overall, she made me proud that morning. It reminds me I need to make more time with Helen and Walker. I want them all ready to participate in our work at home when we they are able.

Robin SuperPoop

By now, I think everyone knows we've added a pooch to our home. This is Robin, she's very cute but I'm a little aggravated with her today. I just smelled and found two poops in Walker's closet this morning. This in addition to the poop she left in the girls room the other day. She's in crate training and does pretty well going outside but with the running around we do for school, activities for the kids etc, we try to leave her out of the crate when we are home. Except now, it's back to basic training for poopers, eh poochie.

Helen and Walker play

Helen loves to play with Walker. She is enjoying her moments as an older sibling.
