I feel that somehow it's important to keep a record of our time right now.
My big ones are getting so big that the future seems to loom large ahead of them
Today Stitch turned 7
And in two weeks DD turns 9
It doesn't seem like yesterday I was writing these posts...
&
yet here we are two years on!
DD has gone off to camp for a week with the bigger ones and I am left home with the eldest of all and youngest two.
It's a little quiet round here and I wonder how I ever considered life to be so difficult with just two!
So I've been taking lots of pictures of 'ordinary' stuff ~ just because most of the time life is pretty ordinary!
On Monday I kept a 'diary of the day' as I went along... here it is, a full and complete picture of that day but without any more photos..!
Lilo... Blog, Reading, Typing, Kitchen Maths, ETC, AAS (All About Spelling) ~ struggling with spellings still. Bible Study (1 Samuel 21) Goliath sword (with DD & Stitch).
DD... Sumdog, reading famous five, maths, Explode The Code (online), Reasoning, AAS ~ 23/24 today. Gym @ 5.30-8.30pm
Stitch... Sumdog, reading (naff Disney book), ETC, Handwriting, Ingenious (you choose), Drawing (which he is pretty serious about atm)

Nice post! :) My boys will turn also 7 and 9 later this year. :)
Time goes by so fast, I wish I had thought to keep a record of my kid's younger years. I do so now. But I was late to the game. Your photos and thoughts will be a treasure to them in their later years.
