September 2020 - Just Life around Here

James helping Erik with his breakfast of the week. Each of the four youngest have a night where they make breakfast for the next morning - Erik makes sheet pancakes. Sometimes, it ends up only a few of them make it one week, or maybe one, but they almost all know how to make their recipe alone - and can bake it too - which makes mornings a lot easier. 

Shantel and her mom had our family over for dinner, which was so thoughtful. The kids played "the frog" game with her and did a lot of laughing. 

Took Jason to get his eyes checked - needs stronger lens, so we will get those soon. 

And this guy can ride a tricycle by himself now! At the beginning of the summer, I tried to attach blocks so his shorter legs could pedal - as he was strong enough - but just short... :) 

But he can do it now -  and am so proud of him. :)

Katelyn has been trying to get Leanne to learn how to write a bike. 

 Katie took me on a date - bike ride to Tim's, and some treats for everyone. She had just done a babysitting job for an Auntie, so she wanted to bless her siblings with some treats. So sweet of her.
