What have we been up to?

Oh wow, so behind once again!!  Let's see we will start with all Jax's firsts..

 Trip to the zoo, trip to the beach, putt-putt golf, can now ride his bike without training wheels, helped me make chicken and dumplings, actually outgrown some clothes, 42 lbs, attended his first wedding, opened up to Mama and Baba and told us about some of his life in the orphanage, looked at his pictures from the orphanage....

 Ok we have been BUSY...Jax has been busy. He is still doing awesome. English is improving everyday!! He and Sophie are still attending chinese school and so far he doesn't seem to have lost too much of his native language. As far as homeschooling we are more than half way through with the Abeka K Math and he knows all his letters and sounds and today read 3 words in English for me!! He reads great in Chinese. I truly think he could be farther along in his English reading but that is my fault. Some days it is all I can do to get the older 3 through school!!  I will go ahead and post some pictures although our really good beach pictures are on the laptop and I haven't transferred them over yet.
