Busy with not much to show for it!

Well, I am well-aware that it has been nearly a month since my last post. We have been very busy over the last month though. We've had some friends move into town, and so we have been helping them get set up. Along with that Tim's had a birthday, and although I did make him a cake, no picture was posted as it was the ugliest cake ever made. It was a German chocolate cake, which does not NEED to be pretty, but I like pretty cakes none the less. Other than that most of our busyness has been in daily activities, in other words, not very exciting.

Bella is over a 1/3 of the way done with her school year. It seems to be going by very quickly. She really enjoys it. She has almost finished reading the Beginner's Bible. She has conquered simple addition and subtraction, for the most part. She is really enjoying learning about the Ancient Egyptians.

Elijah also is cruising through his pre-school year. He is enjoying his school even more than Isabella did when she went through it. I am constantly amazed at the differences between our children. Bella was good at somethings but not as good at other things, and it seems that Elijah is her opposite. He is very good at some of the things she struggled with. It is a constant reminder to me that my children are not factory produced to be just alike!

Lydia also is learning at a break-neck pace. Over the last few months since I started up school with the other two, Lydia has been going down stairs to play with the other Ayi's (aunties) and children. She is the first of our kids to speak Chinese. She is talking more and more each day it seems...half English, half Chinese! It's really cute, I have to admit!!!

Well, we are off tonight to a friend's house. I'll try to post some pictures soon.
