A Child's Smile
Have you ever noticed that sometimes a child's smile can make your whole day? I had one of those smiles today. I made Levi and William capes today, or as Levi calls it "his magic cloak". I told him yesterday I would make him one after I vetoed him wearing his blanket out into the dirt. When I finally finished it, his face lit up. It was one of those precious moments when you know you have made someone truly happy. It put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

Home at Last!
We took a three week vacation to visit our family in Wyoming and Washington. We were so excited to go. We ate a lot, played a lot, and visited a lot. Thanks to everyone who put up with us. It was fun to see everyone and for our boys to make friends with their cousins and aunts and uncles.
I love the feeling of anticipation you get when returning home from a long absence. We got it three times on our trip. Once in Wyoming, again in Washington, and then in Texas as well. When we woke up the following morning I asked William "Aren't you glad to be home?" He said "No! Want Grandpa's House!" He really loved seeing the family.
We all came home sick, except Patrick. I am feeling much better, but the boys are all nursing runny noses and coughs. (Thanks Valine!) I was hoping we were going to miss swapping sicknesses, but it is inevitable when you see that much family. :)
I decided not to enroll Levi in Preschool this year. I wanted to keep our lives as uncomplicated as possible. We have started doing some preschool type activities though, just to give him something productive and uplifting to do at home. I started him in on Piano lessons, (thanks for the books Mom), and we have also been working on penmanship. I also want to work on reading and math. If anyone has some good ideas, let me know.
For those of you who have done preschool at home, or homeschooling, how do you involve all the children at their different levels of learning?(without taking up all the hours in the day? :))
I would love to hear some of your thought and ideas.
