Both L & H have been huge helps to us as we added a third sibling. They are in love with their little brother and want to do whatever they can to help and be with him! They both are waiting for him to do more, though, like play crawl-chase.
In addition to welcoming baby, L started kindergarten! As such, we began our homeschooling adventure. It has been a great fall semester as we learn what works and what does not, a process I know we will go through lots more in the years to come! It’s awesome being a witness to him as he learns to write and read, count and create! He is busy drawing pictures for his own stories and transcribing the words (that he tells me to write) into his books. He loves, loves, loves Lego and has quite the city built on our old train table. And the day before the baby was born, he got glasses! They are bright blue and look awesome on him.
H is back at our favorite preschool in the 3’s class. She is the only girl in her class of eight kids! At her parent-teacher conference, her teacher described her as a natural leader, fearless, a cuddler, and a good playmate, all of which isn’t surprising. Then she said, “H has the type of personality where all of a sudden, everyone is doing what H wants without H having to say a word!” So true!
K is busy dabbling in several different projects, The Ball Project, www.ballproject.com, being one of them! He’s also busy pursuing some fun investment opportunities with friends and family.
I took my first-ever maternity leave from The Viewfinder Project and hired a friend and colleague to run things. The Viewfinder Project, www.theviewfinderproject.com, celebrates 10 years in 2015 from when we had our first project in Raithby, South Africa! Hard to believe we’ve been at this for that long. I love being a mom of three (!!) and homeschooling and pursuing my non-profit work with TVP.
Life in Indianapolis continues to be great as we are surrounded by family and wonderful friends. We love living so close to Butler University (and great basketball!!) and to the canal trail and all the places it leads. We feel blessed and humbled by God’s goodness. We pray you all find blessing & adventure in the year to come!
Godspeed,
K, MB, L, H and baby R and of course Maxine the Wonderdog
Look at those eyelashes (7 weeks old)!!!
