finally posting again

Wow!! It's been a long time since my last post. We've been keeping busy.
John, Elizabeth and Rachel have been enjoying bike rides along the canal whenever possible. Both girls are busy with their homeschool activity group. They just finished a canoeing course and are in volleyball, running, biology lab (Elizabeth) and scrapbooking (Rachel). Both are in Scouts (Girl and Sea) and are both continuing music lessons(Elizabeth-voice, Rachel-piano) , swing dance and art. Elizabeth is still working as a page and studying for the PSAT. Last week, we met a lady who works as a costume designer for the Rochester Opera Company and she is going to help with an internship. It's perfect as Elizabeth loves to design elaborate dresses (she is starting to work on an 18th C dress) and sing-just not opera!!
Not much new on anybody else. Rebekah is now a Junior in Scouts. Mike has mixed feelings about Cub Scouts (he wanted to join Brownies last year!). Steven has no interest in it and would rather play with friends he knows. We all enjoy our weekly library visits and visits with friends.
In school, Elizabeth and Rachel work on high school level subjects. Steven, Rebekah and Mike are learning about Colonial America along with math, reading, etc. We're planning to start biographies of famousw people next week. Our visit to the George Eastman House was the influence for this.
Helen is 3 and loads of fun! She loves to play and is just a typical 3 year old!!
Theresa is now 11 months old. She has 6 teeth, loves patty-cake and peek-a -boo. She now says mama and abef (Elizabeth).
