Lately...

Sammy has taken off with reading.  He can sound out words faster than Hannah could when she was starting to read.

My kids are always crazy sleepers.  One evening Bobby went to check on the kids and ran back to grab the camera.  This is what her got...


It has rained so much this summer.  You can only watch so many movies and the kids are limited to 20 minutes for video games so we've found other ways to have fun.  We've played card games (the Fruit Ninja game is awesome!), board games and worked on puzzles.


Ellie has decided that she does love Amos after all.  Maybe it's because he's finally learned to pet her gently on the head instead of pulling her tail.  Or maybe it's because he sits and stares lovingly at her while she's eating her food.  Who knows.  But now that she loves him, he isn't as interested in her anymore.


This is what Amos does while I'm cooking supper. 



Samuel was grounded from the Wii for a week.  So he pulled out his Matchbox cars and rediscovered their awesomeness.  He sits forever crashing them together to see who will be the winner.  It's a game Bobby played as a kid and Sammy is obsessed with it.


Last but not least--
Hannah jumped off of the HIGH dive at OSP a few weekends ago.  Bobby took her out to the dock and she jumped off the low dive a few times.  Then I saw Bobby climbing up to the high dive.  I just assumed that he'd jump and then Hannah would go back to the low dive.  Nope.  She climbed up next.  I was so scared for her!  Later I took her back out and she jumped again!  She's braver than I am.  I don't have a picture though because we had to keep up with Amos too.  Hopefully next time we'll have extra hands so I can get a good pic.
 We live in such a beautiful place!

So much for keeping the blog updated this year 😂  The Clark family is embarking on another adventure though and it's too big not to doc...
