The basement is looking better and better. We have our full size school area back! It was cramped while furniture and toys were moved during the last renovation time. The Ikea cubbies in the back were a nice addition after Christmas this year. The last part of the renovation is from that pipe to the door of Ken's workroom. He is currently reworking some of the dropped ceiling. The end is in sight! We even have a few carpet samples from my uncle.

Been feeling the baby move a little more lately, although not as much as the other 3. Maybe because I don't have time to pay attention because of the other 3.

Homeschooling is going pretty well. We are solidly in first grade now. I am trying to look ahead and see what we can comfortably finish before the baby comes. I hate to stop in the middle of a curriculum but I won't have a choice. With the Sept-May school year ingrained in my head as a teacher, I hope we can get back to that schedule for a school year at some point. Maybe not with Ryan but Rachael and Jack eventually. Flexibility, Brooke!

Erin has the same tea set! I also got her some cups and silverware from IKEA for Christmas. Someone had given us a little plate/cup set but of course it is breakable and went back on the top shelf when she started to throw it.

I see some alphabet collage pictures on the wall in the first picture. Did Rachael do those? I am trying to think ahead for next year and just plan on Erin being a part of school. I can't see her keeping her nap much longer and I'd rather just be ready for her than be surprised.
