It's been a while....

Here is the latest on the Clark family:

William is making progress towards reading and writing. He just read his first book with sentences and is very excited about this new skill. Continuing with his physical activities he is now in a tumbling class at the community gym. Finally, after weeks of asking when it would happen, William started Primary and now enjoys his new class and teacher.



Neil is 12 ½ months old and now pulls himself up to a stand. At his birthday party he instantly became a pro at eating his cake. Neil continues to be a very sweet boy, although he does throw fits at times. He really enjoys playing with William and doesn’t seem to mind being roughed-up too much.



After being inspired by a book she read, Emily recently de-cluttered much of the house, although that task never really ends, does it? She enjoyed another great fall here in Cincinnati and took William and Neil on a few hikes at nearby parks. Emily also enjoyed sewing some winter apparel for William and Neil.



David is just busy doing what he signed up for. He finds time to enjoy playing with William and Neil and spend time with Emily.



For Christmas we all enjoyed a visit from David’s whole family during a rare three consecutive days off. His dad gave us a tour of the John Roebling suspension bridge and we enjoyed a few other activities in the city and at home.

I wish we lived nextdoor to you so we could do playdates! My boys would LOVE it (as would I!!!)

I am so impressed William is reading! That is so wonderful. He looks great - has his hair darkened or is it just me? I love the photo of him clearing the driveway! Neil looks so adorable! You have to tell me which book you read that inspired you to declutter. We need to chat soon!

Great updates! It's so nice to see pics of y'all :) I can't believe your kids are so grown-up-! not to mention adorable. And I was reminded how close in age Caleb and Neil are--Cute cake that you made! I wish I had thought to put Caleb's name on his, but ya can't do it all, right? I'm glad you are enjoying Cincinatti--that little toy snowplow pic is so cute!
