Well, I'm not doing so well at keeping this updated. Things are insanely busy around here.

Lemuel is liking 4th grade so far, but hates division. She's still struggling with multiplication, so we're having a hard time with this. She can do the math, but they have a lot of times tests, and she can't ever finish on time. We're looking into the Math Monkey enrichment program. Hopefully that works out.

Soccer season has started, and they've had 2 games so far. They lost both, but played well and had fun. Lemuel is playing defense this year, and is very good as goalie and not bad as a fullback. One of their coaches this year has some travel team coaching experience, and she's very excited about some of the drills he's working with her on.

We have some concerns about Lemuel's health. She has some stamina issues, and is is very tired all the time. They've done chest x-rays and an EKG, and didn't find anything wrong, so we're going to the pediatric cardiologist next Monday the 29th for a full work-up.

I have finals this week! I'm really nervous, but I'm sure I'll do fine.

Michael is having a lot of changes at work. They have some new clients, new equipment, new procedures... It's exciting, but stressful.

Lily and Oliver are still cute. We now have a fenced yard, and they're loving the running space. Lily is no bigger than she was 2 months ago, but her legs are twice as long. Oliver is adorable and gross, loves mud and poo, and has learned to sit. Sometimes.
