50% Photos X 50% Commentary

I've had issues with getting photos uploaded onto the computer, then onto the blog. So I just haven't been adding them lately. But it's time. Here's a picture post for ya.

First off a random one I found. One of my children must have: 1- created this artwork, and 2- took a photo of said artwork. *Beautiful*
Charity on her 5 month-old bday last week. She's still perfect in every way.
A Family Fun Day a couple weeks back. We brought a couple of the Butler cousins with us.

Another child with artwork and photo of it.
We got a tortoise! When our kids learn to read at least at a first grade level, we let them get a pet. Becca finally got there recently. We learned a lot about turtles vs. tortoises, and FYI: tortoises are way better. Her name is Lizzie. She's a great pet!
We're in full swing with homeschooling. It's going quite well. Here's our little classroom. I sit between the kids. They do a lot of their schoolwork on laptops as you see here. Check their blogs daily for their writing assignments. Jonah is starting to lose steam with a dwindling audience. So check them out. Celeste and Jonah.
My bedroom is finally wallpapered. It took FOREVER. And since we are trying so hard to tighten our budget, I couldn't go out and buy curtains, a nice matching comforter for our bed, things to hang on the wall, etc... But at least we got wallpaper.
Also, our Serving With Smiles humanitarian group for kids has a blog now! And guess who's the administrator of it? My very own Anna Celeste. Check it out. It's still under construction with much more to add to it, but you'll get an idea for how cool this group is.
