Quick Catch-Up With the Edigers
Posted by Chris
Catching up with some of the blogs/sites that I follow, I realized that I hadn't posted anything here in the last week except for the launch of the Catalyst site. I know there are several people who follow along here trying to keep up with what is going on in the lives of our family, so I thought I would take a minute for a quick family update.
Emerie is just about finished with preschool. She has loved every minute of it & has done a great job. She took her Kindergarten readiness assessment a week or so ago & passed with flying colors (actually, if I can be the proud papa, she has already surpassed a lot of what she is supposed to learn next year in K - oh well, she'd go to school for the socialization alone if she had to - man, are raising girls different than boys! :-) ).
Micah has loved his new school and his second grade class. He had a big science presentation and musical performance in the last few weeks (you can check it out on our Vimeo page if you haven't seen it already). He's met several friends - Blair being the best one, in his opinion. He and Josiah both have been spending quite a bit of time lately playing out in the small woods behind our house with their neighbor friend, Preston, and playing their newest Wii game - Super Smash Bros. Brawl (which they got to play over the Internet against their cousins in Oklahoma who also have the game).
Josiah is enjoying school as well, although he has had to adjust to have homework when he gets home from school - something he hasn't had with home schooling the last couple of years. He is adjusting well and learning lots. This week are the annual GA CRCT competency tests for Josiah's class (next week will be Micah's), so lots of focus in getting ready up until now. He still enjoys reading (as do all the Edigers) and recently finished The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. His latest interest: learning to play poker via The Dangerous Book for Boys (great book).
Andrea is still staying busy with the kids as Emerie is only gone for a few hours Tuesday-Thursday (this will change next year as all three kids will be at Riverside). She has spent the last three months getting us moved in, the housed fixed up, and selecting where she wants to hang pictures (and then waiting on me to do most of the hanging :-) ). I am enjoying work and staying busy, as always. Launched three new sites so far (John Maxwell, GiANT Impact, & Catalyst Conference - which I had little to do with, but still love it nonetheless) with more to come in the next couple of months. Enjoying HDTV. Missing friends (as are all of us).
We're all getting acclimated to Georgia faster than we probably thought. Finding friends is the long part, as is finding a church, but these will come in time.
Drop us a comment, an email or post something on our Facebook wall. We'd love to hear how you are doing!
