What's up?

Well, really nothing new here but I didn't want to keep you in suspense! Life is busy as usual...school, errands, working at the school, duties for school, homework, reading to the boys, remodeling...you know the norm.

Actually, since the earthquake in Haiti my thoughts have been on our friends there, the loss of life, the orphans and the absolute utter sadness. It makes me very thankful for ALL that I have here.

Lachlan won a Citzenship bracelet at school and was honored for it yesterday at an assembly. He also had his 2nd Reader's Theatre this year and it was wonderful. I cannot believe what a better reader and performer he has become. Tuesday we spent with his class a the Whatcom Museum, which was awesome. It was a beautiful day so we went to Boulevard Park after for lunch.

Lachlan and Cohen have begun swimming lessons again and they are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30. They finish their first session today and start again next week. They love it. Mack, however, does not. He starts trying to take his clothes off as soon as we get there because he wants to swim so bad. So last week we took him to Family Swim and he just loved swimming. But this week he was so mad he couldn't swim at lessons. So, we have our wonderful neighbor/babysitter Stephanie (13) coming to babysit today to make it a little easier on me and him!

Here are a few pictures from Mack's birthday and other happenings:
