This Saturday everyone was in the backyard trying new things. Jacob is determined to learn how to do the monkey bars, and even when he clearly needs a little help, he insists on going it alone. It's Sunday now, and Jude has mastered the fireman's pole in the backyard. He has to stretch so far to get his body wrapped around it, but perseverence has paid off again for Jude...he is like an old pro. Grace (in true Hooks form) found the biggest ball in the yard and spent an afternoon trying to catch it, carry it around and roll on top of it to everyone's enjoyment. I just can't believe how much everyone is growing and changing and becoming so independent. I am watching Jacob, Jude and Grace with amazement as they tackle their world around them with such bravery. They are all so full of life and energy and stubborness that I am thinking today that there might be NOTHING to stand in their way!
