Evenings

With WAY less homework for the big boys compared to other years, we have time after dinner for a walk or a park or both. 



Fall is here and Elias has lots of reading material in the newspaper ads. 

Augustine had fun helping count the ballots at the cathedral parish picnic. They had a BBQ contest.

Denver, Staff Care Trip

Logan got to go to Denver for most of last week to meet with his team in person and have various other meetings as well. He really enjoyed his trip!
He has a desk at headquarters for when he’s in town which was a pleasant surprise. 

Staff care works in this office with a fabulous view of the Rockies.

He and some of his team took a walk by the lake. 

Lewis’ Mind

My favorite thing to do on Friday is unpack Lewis’ folder. The best part is that this year he isn’t being scolded for his outside the box thinking. 

Read his answer behind the 8. (His “math fact” about himself was “I’m really good at it.”)



He’s starting to read more chapter books. He wasn’t willing to do that last year so I’m very excited for him!

Levi Is Always Busy

Although I think he’s fighting an ear infection, that hasn’t slowed him down. He loves parks and is big enough to play on them without giving me heart attacks. 

He finds fun ways to practice his speech sounds. Here he is saying “guh guh guh” just like Miss Holly taught him. 

He had a lot of fun with the doll house this time around!

More park fun with his little buddy. 



Highlight of the day: Mr. Ryan’s truck being towed. 

Space to be Grown Up

Augustine has been so happy since he went back to traditional schooling. He very much prefers it. He likes his classmates, his teacher, hot lunch, a predictable schedule. He joined Lego League too. In the evenings he’s been writing another book and putting together his next newsletter. 

Last night we took a walk and some of the boys’ friend’s from their St. T’s classes were out playing so they spent some extra time catching up and having fun together. Logan took the little boys home and put them to bed while the big boys and I stayed. As we walked home in the dark we had some great conversation about how the boys are feeling about changing schools. Although some friends are missed, they feel good about where they’re at now. 

Growing

I can see Elias growing as he spends time at school every day. He is becoming even more imaginative, creative, and being a leader at school. 

Over the weekend he spent quiet time making a wall with the letter tiles. 

He spent time at G&G’s in the sandbox. 

Debbie gave us this mini pallet to play with and Elias wasted no time finding ways to build on it.
