Classical Conversations End of Year Presentations

The children had an end of year presentation/ceremony and everyone did their timeline song together.  Each class had their own little separate topics also.  Please forgive the poor footage, i was nursing and videoing with one hand, high in the air trying to get around a head that was in front of me.  I ended up not being able to make it though the whole song because 1. my arm hurt. 2.  Salem was done eating and started to fuss. You may be asking where Mike was during this whole ordeal; he was wrestling with Aggie in the back.  She is uncharted parenting territory and we are fish out of water sometimes. Lord give us grace!!! Enjoy the videos.

Aggie's Field Day

She took a little stroll in the gait trainer. She's not really a fan, but they keep trying.

Also amusing....

When Aggie is done eating she is in the habit of taking her bib off over her head and throwing it on the floor. This particular day I had left her in the chair a bit longer than she would have preferred.  She tried to take her shirt over her head and succeeded, but she didn't have the arm thing figured out so well.  Small things like this make me chuckle.

Funny

Salem

She's so cute, and funny and sweet.

Tour de Virus

It's been a while since I updated, with good reason.  We've had a little "tour de virus", we are visiting many places, most of which seem to be on the continent of Stomach. But a couple have had a nice long visit of Cough Congestion and Sinus. The duration of our travels have been a luxurious 2 months and counting..... as yet another one stopped off at Tummy Troubles just this evening.

All this sickness hasn't given us much to photograph, but some funny sleeping pictures.  We seem to be particularly amused at finding our children sleeping in interesting positions and places. Maybe you will chuckle too.
Note:  We don't have a picture of Shiloh, she doesn't sleep much in the day.  She does however like to sleep in a little later in the morning than the rest of us.

 Salem in bumbo

 She's just like the other Schloss babies, she likes her "silk"

7 years today

 Happy Birthday to my sweet, sassy,sister.  Twirly, whirly girly on her 7th Birthday!

My first portal to "life as a vapor".  Sigh

She's in it for the cake. The girl loves some sugar.  She requested orange cupcakes. I decorated with buttercream frosting. 

She was elated to have a special friend come celebrate with us.

She's been anticipating this day for 364 days.  In October she informed me that her birthday was "getting close, it is only 6 months away".  Glass half full. :)  In December she told me "I'd been thinkin bout my birthday, I think we should make some plans. What theme do you think we should go with mom".  We went with flowers.

Oh Lord I pray for this sweet little lady. Draw her to you, grow her in grace, lather her with abundant mercy.  Give me grace to be a steward over, enjoy her and captivate her with your gospel that she might know the true and lasting joy of knowing our savior and the hope found in him.
