Helping James study.

James is studying around the clock 7 days a week for his engineering licensing exam at the end of October. He studies at the breakfast table before leaving for work, at lunch on his lunch break, after dinner upon arriving home and then again once the kids are in bed. Here is Mari studying her math like her Daddy one morning,

She also commandeered one of his scratch sheets of paper, decorated and displayed it on the fridge.

If you look closely at the picture below, you can see where she got into his notebook and "helped" him work a problem with orange crayon.

She helps him most mornings, but sometimes Ali gets to help him too (like when I have to go to the restroom).Here is Ali helping her Daddy study.

Four years ago, Jake was the one helping his Daddy study for his Fundamentals of Engineering exam (the FE is the first test in a two test series, the one he is taking now--the Principles of Engineering or PE, must be taken after working under a licensed engineer for 4 years and passing the FE, which he did). Hopefully, he will pass the first time (like last time) despite all the help the kids and I manage to give him.
