One Handed Push-Up

Over Christmas break Kyle practiced doing a one handed push-up. He came back home from East Texas and said "Hey, check this out!" And he DID IT! HOORAY! Even Melanie couldn't help but try it out too. This is AWESOME KYLE!

Oh...The SNOW!

I don't care too much for the cold & snow, however, when it snows on Christmas THAT'S pretty fun!

Pop Star Melanie

Athletic Kyle

I am so proud that Kyle is into fitness and athletics! I really enjoy watching him show off his lil' six pack abs and trying his best to master a clap push-up and a one handed push-up. I really hope this exercise & health drive continues through adulthood.

Melanie Homeschooling-Math

I think Melanie's educational strong points are in math & science. We are nearly done with our Kindergarten Math Book. She is just moving right along doing page after page! It seems to me & I think it's REALLY neat, that when Melanie is counting on or adding equations she can "see" it in her mind. She doesn't seem to need to use her fingers or use objects to count with. It's almost like she's making tally marks in her mind. I find it facinating. I wasn't able to do things like that until I was older.

Max Steele Homeschooling

Max Steele Doll Pics

Melanie's friend Ezra has a man doll named Max Steele. For some reason Melanie was very drawn to him for a short period of time. She was able to borrow Max Steele for about a week and they were inseperable. However, now that Christmas is over & we had to give Max Steele back to Ezra, Melanie has been able to divert her attention.
