Happy Birthday Eleanor

Hi everyone! I am having problems downloading pictures but I wanted to give a quick Graddy update starting with Eleanor! Eleanor turned 4 yesterday and she was so funny all day she would say look Mommy and jump off the couch or blink her eyes or hold her fingers in a 4 on her hand and then say I couldnt do that when I was only 3! She had a Flower party with some of her friends on Sunday and they had a blast. Last night we opened family gifts and had her favorite dinner, fish sticks!!! Tomorrow we head out to Antalya for a long weekend. We are so excited...we are staying at a kids resort with pools galore and of course the bluest ocean you will ever see!

Maddie has school until June 12th and then we are going to start homeschooling. The pool opens this weekend and the girls will start swim lessons. Maddie has started piano lessons as well while Ella does Ballet...so we are certainly staying busy! Jack is getting so big! He loves playing with match box cars and pushing them all around the house. He also very much enjoys books and flash cars and wants to know what everything is called. The funniest thing he does is he goes through my purse and gets my keys and puts the correct key in our front door lock, he has done this 3 times now, good hand eye coordination for sure!

I am doing great, still running and working with the kids at church. I will be in charge of the libraries summer reading program this summer and look forward to reading with the kids every Wednesday. Bryan is doing really well. He is planning to climb Mount Ararat in July stays busy with work and exploring Turkey!

Hopefully we will figure out why I cant download pictures and why the vonage isnt working! We would love to hear from you all! Take care, Jessie
