I'm a slacker

Sorry that there haven't been many updates (ok none) for a while. So here's what's going on in our lives these days...

Kerry is plugging along in school. He's getting closer every day. He will be able to walk in commencement (if he wants to, he doesn't.), but won't get his diploma until December. He will be a couple classes short this semester, but he's getting there! Graduation is Saturday, May 9, 2009. The ceremony starts at 10 a.m. and will last until approximately 12:15 p.m. It's going to be in Denver, and we're still talking about him walking. If he doesn't we'll throw a party for him anyway. :)
Work has started again for him delivering. He is going to be working 2 days a week. Kerry is still doing a great job at home with the boys, but enjoys the "break" of work too.

I'm staying busy teaching for PCC. Tuesday and Thursdays are my very busy days. I am working from home 2 days a week so that Kerry can go to work on Wed and Friday. I'm still doing some teaching online for Kaplan which I enjoy. I very much miss the boys when I'm not home and long to be able to spend more time with them and I cherish the days I'm home with them.

Gabe is doing well in school. He's really writing well with cursive and reading better everyday. He's started some new things in spelling and is now having spelling tests every week. He's doing great! He's a whiz at math. He's surprised us a couple of times because he seems to be putting the concepts of multiplication together without knowing it. For example, last week he told us he had 20 kids and he had 5 groups of 4 kids each that lived in different states. Kerry and I were amazed. Of course we think all our kids are brilliant!

Otto is also doing well in school. He's learning to apply himself better. He's really doing well with phonics and is starting to read simple words. He's actually writing for fun in his free time. Usually letters on the dry erase boards, but any writing with him is great! We've found some fun math alternatives so that he can move around and be active.

Zeke is growing lots! He's smiling and laughing. We are so blessed to have a happy baby. He's really starting to wiggle around when we lay him down. He watches his big brothers with great interest every time he hears their voice. It's so cool to see how he's growing and doing new things everyday!

Other than that, things are going well here. We're looking forward to spring and more outside time as a family. We're also praying for guidance for what God has in store for us after this semester.

I think those are the big updates. I promise I'll try to be a little more on top of the updates, although things don't really change too much for us from day to day. I'm also posting some new pictures of Zeke. Enjoy!
