In addition to having children in Kindergarten and Middle school this year, we've been hitting the milestones around here left and right, reminding us in so many ways how these days with little ones are flying by us and before long these milestones will simply be memories...
After very little instruction really, Emma became a PRO at tying her own shoes! Check out the new "tie shoes" she picked out to celebrate!
Samuel is finally using the potty some. We are realizing that he is just now developing the necessary body awareness for potty training. His little mind is so busy with other things that body functions have not been high on the list. So, this won't be a quick trip with him, but we are glad to finally be moving in the right direction.
Lucas is extremely interested in the whole potty phenomenon and often has to be encouraged to move from Samuel's frog potty so Samuel can have a seat. He's obviously not quite ready to begin though...
Emma has been riding in the same car seat since she was 10 months old:
Though she still fit in it just fine, it was about to reach the expiration date, so we moved her into a high back booster seat.
Even bigger news for Lucas-- he has the same seat he's had for quite a while, but is now FORWARD FACING! He did great rear facing, and seems to like this change in views as well.
He looks so BIG!
Samuel, who rode a bike for the first time recently, inherited Nathan's first bike as his own! He even rode it a little without anyone holding on! Go Samuel!

Today, Emma had her first homework! I'd like to say she enjoyed it, but that is not completely true. I think she did a great job though!
Well, I think that's it for milestones of the past few weeks.
The kids all seem to be growing and changing SO quickly!
WHOA- SLOW DOWN! Don't give your dear parents a heart attack!
