Ryan is nearing the end of 1st grade (gulp) and will be 7 at the end of May (even bigger gulp). When he is not annoyed, he is an amazing big brother, full of fun and adventurous ideas and is a great teacher to boot. Of course, just like the rest of us, he often battles human nature, but for the most part, is shaping up to be a really great kid. He has recently begun reading chapter books which has opened the doors wide open for him to soak up any and all facts he can - especially nature related.
Caleb just turned five and is stoked beyond belief to be going to kindergarten next year (sniff). With the realization that he is Caleb, not Ryan's little brother, but CALEB, has come a strength and confidence that I can't even begin to describe. He, too loves to learn, and has a great mind for figuring out how things work. He has a big heart and has become such a great big brother to Noah...although he, too has his moments.
Noah is now 3 getting ready to start pre-school next fall (really?!) He is such a goofball and thinks his brothers are the funniest thing ever. Seriously, we are relying heavily on Ryan's judgment here as Noah will gladly follow Ryan anywhere....while Caleb of course, sits back and watches the show, knowing full well that this is going to end in disaster. Noah continues to be his own man. He is confident, goofy, fiesty, cuddly, sensitive, and tough - all rolled in to one!
