It has been way too long since I last posted. Things have just been very busy here I guess. We have made it through our first year of homeschooling and it was a success. J tested already and he did great :0). Since O in Kindergarten he doesn't have to test this year.
Back in March the kids and me went to spent time with my family in Germany and stayed for 2 months :0). It was great seeing everybody but daddy was dearly missed as he couldn't come with us.
We celebrated O's birthday in Germany and he was so excited, he is a big fan of Capt'n Sharky and you can typically only find it in Germany. So we went with that theme and he loved it all :0). I can't believe he is 6yrs old now, time sure has flown by fast. I remember the day when I handed him to his daddy at 1 week old. Daddy was deployed and not home for his birth and it was just the most precious moment ever to see him hold O for the first time. It still brings tears to my eyes today.
The little ladybug is growing up fast too, she is 18 months old now and super busy learning so many things every day :0). She speaks a lot of german now, since we stayed there for 2 months and it's so cute to hear it. She is also potty trained and doing so well. I never thought it was going to be so easy to potty train her, it took us 2 days and we were done :0).
We will continue with schoolwork during the summer just not on such a strict schedule as before :0). I had bought the sciene curriculum "Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology" from Apologia for the fall but the boys have been begging me to start already. And the beauty of homeschooling is you can do just that and they don't have to wait :0). So far they love it and really enjoy all the things we get to do.
So I leave this little update with a few new pictures :0).

Hello, I came to visit your blog as I noticed you are now following mine! I am guessing you are also German - and I am fascinated that your 18 mo old is speaking German!! That is GREAT! My mother is often telling me to speak German to my baby - but I was so afraid I'd confuse her. Of course, it would be easier if I could just live in Germany :) Anyway, I look forward to hearing more from you!!! God bless!!
PS I am also fascinated that your 18 month old is POTTY TRAINED!!!! Maybe it is because you use cloth diapers?
