The Eight of Us

Part of the boys day includes reading lessons. This used to be a long, draining process. They would stumble over every word and it seemed to take forever to get through a couple of sentences. We would sit together, upright and I had to remind them constantly to sit still and concentrate.
Now they are on lesson 83 and I can finally step back a bit and let them go. I can lean up agaist the other side of the couch and just listen to the story.
(The stories still are not very exciting)
These pictures look so much like the ones I took just a few weeks ago. They are so cute and peaceful (and maybe it's also because I'm so proud of them) that I can't help but run for the camera.
