Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Here we are putting our family news out there for you all to read.
At this time, Bart is still in grad-school finishing up his PhD. Jen is recovering from giving birth to Nathanael Joshua Palmer (8lb 4oz; 21.5"; 8:04am on 31 July 2007), both mom and baby are doing really well.

Enoch is turning 7 this November and is doing really well reading, playing, and helping his Mom. He loves to read "The Magic Treehouse" series
Elijah just turned 5 and is advancing in reading and telling some great stories.
Joel is almost 3.5 with the same size feet as Eli but built like a solid brick. Mentally, however, he really is "as quick as a cricket."
Naomi is increasing her vocabulary and communication every day. She knows she is the princess of the house and just loves everything from trains and bugs to babies and dresses.
Nathanael is really lazy for now ;) He is starting to pick up his head a little and has learned to sleep with the constant din in the house. But, since he was born at home, I suppose home will always be that much more special for all of us.

Our adventures will continue as we begin this new school year (Eli's 'first' and Daddy's 'last' :). Our hope is to let you know what we are up to for education and fun. Please leave your comments and let us know of you in return.

Oh, BTW, we are beginning to read some of the classic literature of the world. If you would like to join along, feel free :)
