Overdue...AGAIN!

I have not been real good have I? I shall make a promise as of now that I will try to work harder at posting updates on our little monkeys! I think the problem has been that we have been so busy through summer and early fall. During those nice weather months we are on the go and finding time to sit and post an update is hard. Now that the winter months are approaching I think I should have no excuse not to update, seeing as we will be in much more!

Well, I will give the best update that I can on both of the kids beginning with Camden. So here it goes:

Camden is an amazing young man as most of you know. He has been growing like a weed. Every day I look at him and think that he's changed in some way or another. He looks like like such a big boy. It does not seem possible that he is now four years old!

We began doing some homeschooling work about two months ago. We try to get it in every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Some weeks, due to other plans, we will switch the days but we have been trying to get it in as much as possible. We have gone through learning the weather and the seasons. With each lesson we do some type of "project". Here are a few pics of his projects that we did on the seasons.

Here in the last one you can see where Camden has been working on writing his name. He actually did it all by himself before I wrote his name for him on the bottom of the page. He is getting better and better at it. I'm so very proud of him.

Today Camden said something so precious. We were watching some old video of when his Daddy and I were dating. It was pretty old and I was telling him that is was from a long time ago, before Mommy and Daddy were even married. After about 15 minutes or so he turned to me and said "That's when I was still in Heaven with Jesus and God". It was sincere as if he remembered it. Out of the mouths of babes.

Well little Miss Merci is also just as amazing! She has been walking since she was just about 11 months old. She now has 12 teeth and will eat anything you give her. She stopped eating baby food at 10 months old. She has been picking up some of her brothers bad habits but is as sweet as can be. Our biggest challenge lately with her has been climbing. Merci will climb anything she can and if she can't she'll keep trying until she does. We can not keep her off of the coffee table or the couches. I'm so afraid that one of these days she's gonna fall and really get hurt. We are still trying to figure out how to keep her from doing it.

All in all the kids are doing great. We have tried to get some pics of them for Christmas but the one time I did them, they did not turn out too well. I hope to have some new pics to post of them coming soon. Until my next post (which I promise will not be in two months!) we hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! Our love to you all!!
