It has been a while since we posted anything here. As I read the blog and reminisce about our journey with the boys, I can't help but feel a little sad that we were not able to continually post on our site. Facebook seems easier to post rants but, in the end, there is nothing like a blog.
The year has gone by quickly. Since our last posting, we have seen both Andrew and Caleb grow up so much. I cannot believe they are in grades five and one respectively; it only seems like yesterday that they were babies.
Andrew joined his first team sport just recently. He's playing soccer with the school team . . . go Sabres! Caleb is learning chess and is picking it up quite quickly.
The school year started about a month ago and we are slowly but surely getting back into a routine. My husband really enjoys doing drop-off every morning. He gets a lot of joy spending that time in the morning going over the day's agenda with Caleb and then reading a book to him before the bell rings. As always, he is very busy with work and truly treasures this special time. As for me, I really get a lot of joy picking them up from school for 4 out of the 5 days. They have such huge, radiant smiles on their faces as they lug heavy backpacks and gym bags. More often than not, they automatically reach out to hand me their things. Their "mule" has slowly learned to say, "no, you carry your own things!" We feel blessed to have boys who generally love to learn at school. All the very best to everyone during this school year!
