So much personality packed into such a tiny little girl....tonight at dinner, she turned to us and announced that she was "born serious." Lol!! Serious, yes, but also an absolute riot! She has a strong sense of justice, a determination to be the best at what she tackles, and a love of reading chapter books, along with a hilarious personality that fills the room when she speaks up. Ellie's focus on always improving herself will be so helpful in her future. We know there are big things in front of her! How old are you? "Six, and I'm going to turn seven!" What makes you happy? "Unicorns" What is your favorite animal? "Tigers" What is your favorite color? "Red" What is your favorite thing to eat? "Pizza...Pepperoni Pizza" What is your least favorite thing to eat? "Spinach" What is your favorite thing to do? "Play on my tablet" What is your favorite TV show?"Calico Critters" (this lady plays with toys on YouTube...and my kids love it. I don't get it...) What is your favorite movie? "Frozen" What are you really good at? "Playing Data Stream on my tablet" (it's a game on ABC Mouse) What is your favorite song? "Cups" by Anna Kendrick from the Pitch Perfect soundtrack What do you and your mom do together? "Go grocery shopping" What do you and your dad do together? "Trivia Crack" What is your favorite book? "Actually....I don't have a favorite book?" What is your favorite toy? "My stuffed animals" What do you want to be when you grow up? "There are a lot of things that I want to be. I haven't decided yet. I'm probably going to be a vet. If not, then probably an artist with [my friend] McKinley."
Little Ellie!

Elijah is our Baby C! He *loves* being asked his birthday questions!
Elijah James
Just looking at the difference between Elijah's birthday photo last year and his birthday photo this year...I realize how much he has changed and grown up on me. So many of his baby features have given way to this big boy look. I'm sure his new glasses (as of 6 months ago) are contributing to that! Elijah is a very tenderhearted kiddo who cares about what others think and if he is hitting the benchmark for everything. He worries often about his school work and making his teacher happy, so we are working hard on helping him be okay with where he is at....since he actually does quite well in school! His biggest struggle is just sitting still and knowing when to listen. He talks nonstop. Literally. Nonstop. So many questions and constant movement. It is exhausting. Our sweet boy doesn't realize it though, so Sean and I are refining our patience right now. haha! Elijah is all about science, all the time, and we love seeing his interests starting to bloom in a direction that makes him happy!
How old are you? "Six" (only for a few more days!) What makes you happy? "Playing with Dad" What is your favorite animal? "Monkeys, dogs, and science animals" What is your favorite color? "Green and orange" What is your favorite thing to eat? "Italian pasta and Mexican food, which you should know already." What is your least favorite thing to eat? "Zucchini" What is your favorite thing to do? "Play Trivia Crack or Words with Friends with Daddy" What is your favorite TV show? "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jimmy Neutron" What is your favorite movie? "Winnie the Pooh and The Musical Too, and Cars 1, 2, and 3" What are you really good at? "Somersaults" What is your favorite song? "Jack Johnson songs" What do you and your mom do together? "Cook" What do you and your dad do together? "Play Trivia Crack and Words with Friends" What is your favorite book? "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" What is your favorite toy? "Baby Jingle, my stuffed animal, and my microscope" What do you want to be when you grow up? "Paleontologist"

Abby is consistently our most grateful child. It doesn't matter what the situation is or how much she wants something, she will always say "thank you" and express her genuine appreciation for what she is given even if it's not quite what she wants. It's really encouraging to talk to her on days when it feels like none of the other kids care about what we are doing for them. Parents, you know what I'm talking about here. :) Abby works super hard in school to please her teacher and absolutely loves her friends. She feels the highs and lows of life deeply, and that comes through in dancing and in tears depending on the day and the situation. Abby is one of the most precious, loving souls and always ready to give a hug to anyone who might need one.

Time for our birthday interviews! I'm a bit late getting started this year, so I'm going to have to post one every few days to get through all four kids by the time their birthday rolls around!
Caleb Sean
Caleb is doing so well these days! While he still gets several therapies at school, he has settled into a rhythm and is transitioning from activity to activity much better than at the beginning of the school year. He reads incredibly well, although any written assignments can cause some stress and frustration as it's definitely at the bottom of his preferred activities list. One of his best talents is having a super sharp memory which means that he can recall details, sections of historical speeches, and songs weeks after he hears them. At the same time, he doesn't talk nearly as much as his brother, but when he does, it's usually pretty well thought out and direct. Thankfully he has become good at letting us know what he needs, so there isn't nearly as much guessing now when he starts to struggle (he thrives on schedules, structure, and predictable days!) As a sibling, he most certainly has an ornery streak, and has clearly spent the last few years figuring out exactly which buttons to push when it comes to his brother and sisters. He can be both the most concerned kid for another sibling's welfare and push them to the edge all in the same 5 minutes. Sometimes it's hard to keep a straight face because his sense of humor is hilarious!
How old are you? "Six" (for two more weeks!) What makes you happy? "My BB8 headphones" (He wears headphones to block extra noise.) What is your favorite animal? "Lions, foxes, and cats." What is your favorite color? "All of them." What is your favorite thing to eat? "Pancakes, waffles, mashed potatoes, tacos, burritos, hash browns, fries, chicken nuggets, and chicken tenders." What is your least favorite thing to eat? "Sweet potatoes and hash browns that are not in a fry shape." What is your favorite thing to do? "Learn some good tricks and get fit." What is your favorite TV show? "Miles from Tomorrowland and Sonic Boom." What is your favorite movie? "Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Big Hero 6, Planes: Fire and Rescue, Cars." What are you really good at? "Fitness tricks like stretch out." What is your favorite song? "The Trolls Soundtrack....Hair Up." What do you and your mom do together? "Have some fun and get a goodnight's rest" What do you and your dad do together? "Rest and wrestle" What is your favorite book? "A Fancy Day in Room 1-A. It's Fancy Nancy." What do you want to be when you grow up? "I don't know what I want to be...I just want to be a hero." What is your favorite toy? "My puppy named 'Blue' and all my other stuffed animals." For fun, here is Caleb dancing to the "Hair Up!" song!
