Another weekend without a whole lot planned. Which is good, since on Thursday we head to Portland for a long weekend. The kids will take part in a Tae Kwon Do tournament, and we will visit Kevin’s mom and brother and dad and my grandma, who I haven’t seen in person for over 6 years. The last time we were together, Josiah was a baby, and now he’s reading, taking Tae Kwon Do, and missing his top front teeth! I have to get Kevin to take a picture so I can show you, it’s the most adorable thing. It’s funny how much it changes his speech, too. He’s reading independently now, but often stops and says, “Mom, what does this spell?” but I have trouble determining which letters he’s saying.
The kids and I got our flu shots today. Last winter was just horrendous; we caught two different strains, making us sick for a total of about five weeks. The first one was over Christmas, so even the kids thought the vaccination was a good idea. They we...

Josiah-isms From: carrie.homeschooljournal.net Post Date: 2008-09-09 08:42:27
Josiah bounded up the stairs this morning at 7 am, fifteen minutes before I usually wake the kids up to start our day. He ran into the living room and said, “Mom, I can sing my English jingle by heart!” He then proceeded to sing the Shurley English noun jingle, to the tune of “This Old Man:”

Floating around,
