Updates

So, Benjamin is definitely walking and running now.  :)  He hardly ever crawls anymore, which is great, but also a little sad.  He has 4 teeth now and is working on several more.
Jonathan is learning words like crazy.  He can talk super well and is getting better every day.  He's actually working on counting... apparently Michael and Meredith have been teaching him when I'm not looking because Chris and I heard him count, accurately, to 12!!!  Now, he can't do that every time or anything, but it was pretty exciting that day.  :)
Meredith is over a quarter through official Kindergarten (she's been calling her Pre-K, kindergarten) and is doing quite well too.  She can read anything with short vowels and most silent-e and "oo" words.  She has her addition facts through 5 memorized as well.
Michael finishes First Grade this week (wow, did I really just say that?!?!).  I am super pleased with how he's doing.  We'll be taking a pretty long break before starting 2nd... I did not push memorizing his math facts enough, so we'll be doing a review session and lots of flash cards.  He's also going to be re-reading the books he read this year both as practice and as a demonstration to himself as to how much he's improved.

If anyone is interested, here's a link to the curriculum company we use... Memoria Press.  I absolutely love it and the kids are doing so well with it.  Feel free to click through it to see what we're doing each year!  Note that we have not done their Pre-K package as it just came out, but we've used parts of it and are quite likely to use it with Jonathan/Benjamin.

Picasa has been updated for Michael, Meredith, and the All Kids folders.  Still working on Jonathan and Benjamin.  I think Picasa has changed to Google+, but it should still work the same.  Let me know if you run into any problems!
