And finally life lately!


We are ready for fall--that is for sure.  It was a tease to be in beautiful weather for a month only to come back to 95-100 every day for the last 6 weeks.... today we saw rain and cooler temperatures and it was SOOO lovely.  So, inside we had to get creative again.  Have had lots of playdates with Wheeler friends, coloring, games, etc. 


Clara beara has changed so much.  She is a whopping 19 lbs right now.  She loves her feet and her sisters as you will see in pictures below.  Check out our new rug she is enjoying.  




strong little baby also--she sits by herself pretty much





quick visit from Nana and Grandad for our birthdays



Queen Evie dressed by Savannah



This is a new thing--Clara's favorite thing is a bath, best way to calm her down and Helena has decided to join her.  Rolls... so.many.rolls




getting her own little personality already



Helena.  no words necessary



I told Evelyn to go talk to Clara while I did something, I went in a few minutes later and discovered this happening.  good stuff


she thought it was pretty hilarious



evidence of her pulling her knees--ahhh she will be crawling very soon we think




Picture below:  I said, Evie you are the big girl in the house now when Savannah is at school.  This was her response.  :)  She really has done well with it and I am enjoying some time with her in this new role-she is a fun little girl



Savannah came home from school one day and wanted to hang out with Clara.  And then they all joined in





Picture below:  
Kids got sick--all 4 of them.  Clara has her first ear infections, Helena has swimmers' ear, Evie had croup again and Savannah bad cold.   I got sick.  Brian so far is not.  Clara needed gentian violet for thrush, we were warned about the staining but this is really impossible to keep it from getting everywhere.  So this is what she will look like for a few days.  She is comic relief for us in the midst of all the sickness that seems to linger at our home lately.  :)


Savannah goes to school!!!

Now for a few posts to catch up to life today.  We feel somewhat as though we're playing catch up, but we are slowly getting into our new routine of school and home life again. 

Savannah has started Kindergarten at Midland Classical Academy.  She attends Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30-3:30 and the other 3 days is at home with the rest of us.  This school is taught from a Christian worldview with a classical education approach.  I'm sure it seems a bit strange to a lot of people but we have prayed about this, received counsel from people at our church that we trust, as well as Mom and Dad Gesch concerning the best Christian education that we can provide for our children with the options available in Midland--MCA fits for us for now. 

All that to say that so far we are so happy with the school and Savannah loves it and does great.  Evelyn and Helena have had just as big of an adjustment to life without Savannah and are slowly learning to not kill each other--and they can even play together! 

Here are a few pictures from her first day of school

toothless grin :)  She seems so old here!




our only issues have been telling her she can't wear a dress or skirt every single day--:)
