What's up with the gang...

Aby came to town. She was a huge help around the house- and great for the kids to cuddle with.
The boys have been really in to Legos. Lots of building and hopes for birthday gifts!

Gino has been finding creative ways to sleep- tee hee! He reached his goal of being able to read any book by the summer. He still needs some vocabulary help of course but those aren't the books he wants to read. He is wizard at math and loves "educational" computer games.

Aunt Tina was here. She had a cold by the end of her trip but I think it was still fun for her. She was such good luck, we didn't want her to ever leave! We all found great humor in speedwalking in the Olympics. Gabriel starts Kindergarten next Monday. He's been doing "school" for years, of course!
Abu came to visit. Here is is with the kids being goofy. He was such a big help. Lots of fun playing checkers with him.


Patricia is working on her 7th grade curriculum. She is really eager to start 8th before New Year's. She is still writing on her novel and creating daily. World History is her favorite subject (besides writing and drawing- wonderful sample above) and she is now a proud moderator on 'tween talk. She invented and made a Tae kwon Do computer game that is on disc- super neat! She is working on a puppet play of Romeo and Juliet. Her TKD instructor called her his "favorite student of all time".

Papa came to town. He had a cold (blamed Tina) and wasn't able to have as much fun as he wanted to. He wanted to take home the blue napping chair! Come back soon!

Roman slept in the guest room all night by himself. A big thing for him! Way to go, Roman! He has some books on his night stand- Spiderwick, Captain Underpants and a Lego catalog. He is working on 3rd grade and is already wanting to go to 4th. He has been practicing some typing. Still enjoys Pokemon and waterpolo.
