Levi at 6 years

 Levi is 6! He now needs two hands to show his age! Levi is a funny kid who brings a lot of laughs to our house. He has become really close with his brother, Jonas, lately and they play (and fight) a lot. He started Kindergarten this year and is doing so well! He is picking up reading so easily and every night before bed he asks me to give him "math questions" to solve. He loves to wrestle with Jonas and Camden and we have to pry him away when he gets too crazy. He enjoys soccer and football and will continue to play spring/fall soccer. He is our one kid who can color or do a puzzle for a long time. He is snuggly.

Likes: wrestling brothers, soccer, coloring, cats, treats, snuggles, puzzles, Nintendo Switch

Dislikes: more foods this year, early school mornings, time outs

teeth: since these photos were taken, he's lost his front two teeth and wants his "two front teeth" for Christmas!
















Halloween

 Halloween was on a Friday this year, so all of our local cousins came to walk around with us!

Photos from candy trading afterwards



after the younger kids were back in for the night, a few of us sat by the fire out front to hand out candy (something I've always wanted to do!)









Savannah as an M&M

Camden revisited his secret service costume and came with us this year. His friends were all too cool to go out but he didn't want to miss a candy opportunity.

Savannah at 12 years

 Our sweet Savannah is 12! One last year before the teens! Savannah is a refreshing addition to our family as a calm presence. She loves to laugh. She's optimistic and up for an adventure. This spring she started voice lessons in preparation for joining choir in middle school. She's done with lessons (for now) but ended by singing all by herself for her recital...something she never thought she'd be brave enough to do! She's doing well adjusting to middle school and is doing well socially and academically. She got braces this summer and will be enjoying them for about two total years. Wishing you the best year, Savy!

Likes: singing, art, cats, watching comedy TV, fashion, skin care, comfy clothes, good food, shopping

Dislikes: getting up for school, math homework, brothers acting like "brothers"
