His Lordship closes in on Lucky Seven



Denver enjoys scary books as Halloween approaches!



In two days, my baby will be seven. He is opinionated, curious, and quite bossy. A friend and I refer to him privately as "His Lordship." :-) Denver cannot WAIT for his birthday which is only two days away. He has been counting down for over a hundred days! In fact, he is sitting close to me now, waiting for me to hurry up so we can go pick out his birthday cake. He doesn't want me to surprise him with a cake because it might not be "right".

Lately, Denver has become an Ancient Egypt enthusiast. Luckily, his brothers have been through this passion as well, so we have many books and activities on hand to share. This past week, we went to a museum and saw "real" mummies, shabtis, and many other fascinating relics from that time. When the other boys were ready to move on to another section, Denver became angry and insisted that I stay there with him until he decided to leave.



Denver . . . aka King Tut . . . has become fascinated
with ancient Egyptian gods.



Denver is reading more easily now. He breezes through his homeschool before lunch and dives right into whatever he is excited about that day. Like a lot of natural leaders, he is very easy to be around as long as your answer is "yes." Speaking of saying yes, it is time for his Lordship to pick out his cake. He set a timer giving me 30 minutes to be ready, and it's ringing.
