Blessing Day

Aaron was blessed last week.  It was a wonderful day.  Jessica took our family picture afterwards.  I really appreciate her talent!  

All the men who helped bless the baby.  I appreciate all of our family!

Aaron is doing pretty well.  He goes down at night between 7-9 and sleeps until around 2 or 3 am.  He is then up again around 5 am.  My older kids are up at 6, so I have spent lots of mornings up by 5.  He still won't nurse so we are exclusively pumping.  It is a learning curve and time suck for sure.  He is worth though.  ;)  He is starting to smile and coo at us.  

Joshua is doing really well in school.  We are working on him being a bit more organized.  We have had some weekends where he tells us he thinks a project is due and we haven't even heard about it. Joshua's ELA teacher says she has him explain things to the kids when they don't get stuff.  He also has always had terrible handwriting, so she is making him type everything.  He likes it that way as well. He loves math and a science.  He made the honor roll.  Joshua also joined honor choir.  He is loving it.

Leah is growing up so fast.  She is so helpful and loving.  She is doing well in school and tested well on her first MAPs test.  The kindergarten teacher says she is a great example to all of the kids.  Leah loves to draw.  She draws or colors things constantly.  It must be the influence of the Clark family or Michael.  ;)  Leah was Top Cat for the first six weeks.  

Evan is learning his letters.  He loves doing workbook time with me.  He is weaning off his afternoon nap.  He loves Aaron, almost too much.  It drives me crazy when he wants to play with the baby but the baby is sleeping and he decides to yell "Wake up baby!"  He is loves to help me in the kitchen watching me cook or getting things from the pantry.  

Dallin is doing great in school as well.  He made the honor roll as well. He is very organized in school and keeps an agenda.  He works hard on all of his homework.  He is always willing to lend a helping hand without being asked.  

We are blessed with some great kids!
