Aden Jolie-Pitt?





  Aden Mathew is in 2nd grade this year. He had an absolute blast in 1st grade, this kid just loves school. I am working to make our "homeschool" equally rewarding for him. He is a natural rule-follower & likes to challenge himself. I am loving his quirky style, accentuated by his new haircut. Someone said he looks like one of Brangelina's kiddos.

  We are into week two of the online schooling. The first few days were excruciating. I was so ready to give up. This week has been better & I am hopeful. As I am walking through the lessons with the boys, I have had some tender moments where I am just so glad they are mine. I really like my kids. I feel so lucky to be their mom even with the weightiness that goes with that.

  1. I love, love, love the haircut. Whoever called the Brangelina kid comment was totally spot on.

    I'm glad homeschooling is looking up- good for you for sticking with it.

    And I'm REALLY glad you like your kids. You can tell they like you too...they all pose for the camera. ;)

  2. He'd totally fit in with that family, but he's much better off with you guys! :) We miss you all soooo much, we had Walter's birthday party and it wasn't the same without the Archuleta's! I am glad things are going well in Seattle and that you are making the best of your adventure. You guys are continually in our thoughts and prayers :)

    On a side note, we are getting our family photos done by Mary Mouser and I made sure to give you props for "introducing" us via your blog. I'm super excited- you will love what I have planned for our photo shoot, as you are a mom to boys :)
