Homeschooling a Houseful

Jonathan

Today Jonathan is a delightful 9 year old.  He is funny and loves to make people laugh.  He talks real well, and has about 30 sight words that he can read.  As far as school, I consider him a kindergartner.  Jonathan is a worker, he loves to do a job and he feels proud when he gets to help.  Jonathan also LOVES golf.  He knows all the terminology that goes along with golf, and when we are watching he knows if a ball in in a good spot or not so good.

I love how God gave us 3 more little boys after Jonathan. Ok, honestly sometimes, especially in the long winter months, I do find myself asking, "Why God, did you give us 4 little boys in a row?"  They are the most wonderful little boys, but the energy, oh my.  But, these little boys have been just the therapy that Jonathan needs. We have seen him grow in ability just by needing to keep up with his younger brothers.

Here are some more photos of Jonathan through the years.

There you go. You are all caught up on Jonathan.  I will continue to introduce you to my children as their birthdays come around.  That idea I have borrowed from a friend...thank you Jana.  I love how she celebrated a birthday recently on her blog.

Jonathan is so precious!

Thanks, Liz, for sharing more about Jonathan! I love all the pictures. He is a real cutie and obviously so loved.

I am excited to see the parallels in our families. My oldest daughter will be 21 when this baby is born. She'll turn 21 about a month before this baby is due. Our 2nd oldest daughter will be a month shy of her 19th birthday when our baby is born. I love seeing the older ones interact with the younger ones. It's so precious!

I'm glad you are going to do a birthday post! It'll be so much fun to see more pictures!

Have a great day!

Jana
