Hyrum started Kindergarten this year. He is so smart and so far ahead of most kids in his class academically but Mom takes care to supplement at home. He just loves the social aspect of school. We are hoping to get him into a charter school next year, either that, or they will have to have him skip a grade most likely. He loves to read and reads everything and anything that he can get his hands on. He absorbs everything like a sponge, it's actually kind of freaky. We love him and are so proud of him. He turns 6 at the end of January. He is so strong willed and stubborn and listening is definitely not his strong suit, but he is also so helpful and can be the sweetest older brother in the world. He is so easy to love.
Porter turn two. He doesn't talk much, but he has proven he is extremely intelligent. He watches his little shows and can actually figure out the patterns and colors and points at the TV to show his comprehension. He is so mellow. He loves to play and build things with his blocks. He LOVES to color. He is rarely without a crayon in one hand and paper in the other. He could spend all day doing nothing but coloring. He's are calm doe-eyed little boy. He loves being a new big brother and is just the sweetest cuddlebug in the world.
Emma will be four in February and she can't wait to get to go to preschool. She plays school with Hyrum and he teaches her everything he learns in kindergarten. She just loves it. She loves to sing and makes up her own songs. She loves to hold her new baby brother and sing to him. It's so cute. She loves to be a princess when she is in her church dresses by twirling around so they balloon out, but as soon as she is home, it's into jeans and running around with her brothers. She's definitely our high maintenance little girl but she is so sweet, we can't help but love her so much.
Our newest addition joined us a mere month ago. Dan Paul was born on the 21st of November. He was 7 lbs 10 ozs and 20 inches long. He gave us a right good scare at birth though because he spent his time in the hospital in the NICU because he had difficulty with his breathing. He spent only three days there and then was able to come home. He's been relatively fine since then. He does have a heart murmur but so far it seems to be benign. It seems to be just one of those baby things so we are hopeful that there is nothing wrong with him. He had an EKG and chest X-ray and they were fine. He will have to see a cardiologist but it looks as though it really is nothing to worry about. He has definitely made our lives more hectic and I'm trying desperately to get use to the new pace of life. I love it though. He is such a sweet baby. He loves to be held and cuddled with and never ignored.
We are just so thankful to have all these blessings this past year and we love our family. We love that we can be a family and have one another.
