I enrolled Corrisa in school part time. The boys will remain here with me except Elijah who will be attending preschool.
Miles, Gabe, and Eli have been with Nana and Papa Sharp for the past week and a half. They made a sudden request for the boys and so they have them until this weekend. Then we will be starting school.
Briley and I started working on his room last week. We got the five layers of wallpaper removed and started the primer. Corrisa and I are finishing up the painting. We got the ceiling done and the first layer on the walls. It is coming a long pretty good considering the walls are in pretty bad shape. I wish I hadn't removed the paper. Oh well as Mark says it is a learning experience. We decided we would put all the boys in one room and put the toys and dressers in the freshly painted room.
Corrisa took her permit test today. She missed 2 too many. She wasn't too disappointed, but wants to go and retake it tomorrow. We will see.
I have to get the boys signed up for soccer. It starts on Monday so I can't put it off anymore. Corrisa was going to play, but has since changed her mind. She is planning on doing basketball though.
Markus is growing so fast. He jabbers all the time. Can't understand anything he says, but he knows and we respond just like we do know what he is saying. We say he is built like Miles, talks like Gabe, and has Elijah's attitude. He cut two more bottom teeth so we are up to 8 teeth. Doesn't bug me unless he bites me. He eats anything you put in front of him. He is a pretty happy little guy.
Elijah has been wanting to catch a caterpillar all summer and before he left he finally got one. He was so excited. He put it in his little box he made a VBS. He stared at that thing all day. He wanted to watch it shed its skin. The morning after he found it it was in a cocoon. We are still waiting for it to come out. We are pretty sure it is some type of moth. I hope it stays put until he gets back or he may be disappointed.
Well, I think that is all that has been going on here lately. Have a great rest of the week.

How funny that we've both been "gone". I have been super ill with strep throat and ear infections, so my blog has been lacking for almost two 1/2 weeks. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. My boys and I are easing back into school mode, getting a kick start on things. They've declared to me that they will work extra hard this year. That's exciting!
Take care ok?!
