Kids

Having five children ages 5 to 14 ensures that there is a lot of variety in my day. I go from listening to Kailyn conjugate Latin verbs to helping Cade with his pre-algebra to singing the ABC song with the twins. One day recently, though, I was struck by the wide gap in their ages and abilities...Cade was working on his final project in geography-free-hand drawing a map of the entire world complete with all of the capitals and countries labeled (Did you know that the capital of Swaziland is Mbabane?) Shortly after admiring his amazing detail, Emily brought me a portrait that she had drawn of "mom" and "dad". (She was very proud that she had drawn in daddy's goatee.) I am so thankful for the privilege of being a mom!
