Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'.....Into the future

Where has the time gone? Hard to believe that it's the middle of 2014 and almost 4 years has passed since I last posted! Well that's not quite a true statement, I created this blog http://withtheeyesofachild.blogspot.com/ to capture the great fun that children have learning about the world around them - and yes it's not updated so that should give you some indication of how busy it's been!

Z is finishing 1st grade and A is finishing pre-school. And it's been fun, hectic, chaotic, and awesome all rolled into one.

Z is a sweet and book-ish girl and loves reading. I frequently see her light on in the morning and walk in to see her reading in bed. Her table next to her bed is a bookcase full of books piled like the leaning tower of Pisa!  At 7, she's still high intensity and when she's happy it's great but when she's not......let's just say everyone knows it.

A is a sweet and generous boy who is a giver. He is learning to read and his reading skills have really accelerated this month! He is very observant and empathetic with awesome recall. The boy is a boy - nakedness, muddiness, loudness in every way!

They are best friends.

It seems odd to be so close yet so far away from people since we've moved. We are not in a neighborhood anymore and even though we have neighbors we are sort of isolated here in the suburbs of NoVA.

Their career interests change daily from gardener, artist, writer, farmer, to zoo keeper. It's hard to keep up! No organized sports or teams or camps or clubs for the time being. Kids spend way too much time being busy by someone or something else than by finding it out on their own.
