Every Child is Different

Every child is different.  With six children, no two are the same.  The may have similar likes and dislikes but personality comes with you, I believe.  We are born with "it."  Not that a child can't be taught or helped along the way.  But, some personality traits are here to stay.  We have lots of personality over here.  That's a good thing, though.  How boring if we were all the same.
I would never classify my children or describe them in one word.  It wouldn't be fair and I wouldn't want to put them in the position to think they are nothing else than that.
We have drama, compassion, strength, loving, fun, and happy.  And, tons more of course.  But, that is just some of what I like to see it.  Any of the not so nice, well, I will try not to dwell on just help out.
Summer time helps me to see these personalities in action.
More on summer plans later.

A Graduate

Henry's done with elementary school. It's so sad. He really does seem older but still young and fun! He is excited abut middle school and turning eleven soon. He'll be a boy scout too. Charlotte is getting so mature too. She's so tall. She has become a good babysitter. What we do without her?!

Little Baby

We can't forget about our little one.
I read this nice little quote today and don't want to forget it.
I may put it up somewhere.

"A babe in the house
is a well-spring of pleasure,
a messenger of peace and love,
a resting place for innocence on earth,
a link between angels and men." - Martin Tupper

Spring break in Vermont

Stowe, Vermont is a pretty place. Would be awesome in the summer and winter. I need to see the seasons. Have some green and if not some white, then.
We overdid the snacks but had comfy car rides with Ron Dear at the wheel. He points out a lot of interesting sights. Can't wait to post my pics!
