We started trying to have children in May 2002. After pursuing fertility treatments, domestic, and international adoption, our daughter Nadia Renee was born on 6-24-08 (at 36w4d). IVF #2 resulted in Ian Alexander, who was born on 12-12-09 (at 34w3d). Oliver Elliot (IVF #3) was born on 8-7-12 (at 31w6d)! Three other pregnancies (in 2005, 2007, and 2013) ended in miscarriage. Our family is complete! We are so thankful for our three miracles!

TWO Readers!
I have spent VERY little time working with Ian on learning his letters, the sounds they make, or teaching him to sound words out. He's learned most of what he knows through overhearing me teaching Nadia as well as using the iPad. Yesterday I got out the first reader from Level 1 of All About Reading, and he needed little help reading the first two stories. Today I decided to take a video, and while I was doing so, he proceeded to also read the third story, which he had never read before. I accidently started the second video a bit late. It doesn't include him reading the first sentence. The third video is of him reading a story for the very first time. He can sound words out, but he is tempted to look at the pictures and just guess the words. He does the same thing with the BOB books. Once he gets farther into this reader he really won't be able to get away with just using the pictures. Since I was recording Ian reading today, I also decided to take a video of Nadia. The first story is REALLY long so I just recorded her reading the first few pages. She just started the second volume of Level 2. Hopefully they will be ready to sell Level 4 before we finish Level 3, as she is flying through these books!
