just the beginning

So, we have decided to get with it and start a blog. It seems like a great way to keep friends and family informed and encourage feedback from others. What is a day in the life of the LeClairs like? Well, let me tell you....
Most days Aaron gets up before the sun(about 3 hours b-4 now) and goes to work-Boeing. He has a desk job now. He's getting really good at it too-of course. He's an asset anywhere he goes! By the time Aaron has been out of the house for 2 hours I start my morning routine of animal care(our zoo!), breakfast prep, and computer business. Then, it's time for our Bible study and breakfast. Shortly after that, Race and Juliann start their schoolwork. They are supposed to start school by 9am but some mornings they are tardy! hehe Both Race and Juliann are excelling in all of their studies. Race even commented that he enjoyed writing an essay the other day. Huge progress!!
Juliann is the writer in the family and writes on any allowable surface. Both Race and Juliann are accomplished spellers too. I'm trying to get them to do a spelling bee this year but they're not going for it yet.hehe Race is doing pre-Algebra this year. He seems to have Aaron's math prowess-thankfully! Both the kids are good readers! Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! (Race is reading the "On the Run" series recommended by cousin Clara-Fun!!)
Both kids love to be outside doing all kinds of stuff-bike riding, basketball(we gleaned a hoop recently!), dirt biking (mostly Race), horse-back riding, exploring the woods (we saw a bobcat recently-Wow!), playing with friends, and helping Aaron and I with projects.
Well, as you can see our days are full but they are never too full to have friends and family over or go out to visit them too. So, never hesitate to get in touch with us! God Bless you!
