Home ELEVEN Months!!!!!!!!!!!


Today is the 11 month anniversary of us being a family of 6! These last few months have just flown by! Here are a few highlights of our 11th month together!!!

T**s**e:
I honestly run out of positive adjectives to use when describing you! People still come up to me regularly telling me how amazing you are and what great leadership qualities you have.  We had another quiet month together mostly doing our typical routine of home-life, church-life, school-life, and sports-life. Here are some highlights of your 11th month:
-You enjoy sleeping with your brothers and sisters and ask to do so a few times each week. On one fun night this month, Daddy zipped 2 sleeping bags together all 4 of you slept together in the living room.
-We went to the LA Zoo for the second time…you enjoyed seeing the elephants for the first time (their new habitat was finally completed).
-You continue to do really well playing softball. Unfortunately, your first game was rained out, but you have another game this coming Saturday. You were so excited yesterday when I gave you a personalized purple batting helmet!
-For the first time ever, you openly grieved the death of your father and the separation from your birth mother and other family members.  It was so difficult to see you in such pain, but it was also a great time of bonding for us.
-You are very happy that your birthday is next month and talk about the Princess Party you will be having almost daily!

M****n***m:
You are adorable! Your sweet, tender heart is an incredible attribute. You are the teddy bear and gentle giant in our family. You are a three-year old boy in every sense of the word: busy, loud, active, wiggly, silly…and very cute! We love how you enjoy life and we have so much to learn from you! Here are some highlights of your 11th month:
-Today you went on your first field trip with your preschool class! You had so much fun a really creative place called, “The Art Zone”. You especially loved the room they have dedicated to water and mud. You seemed to love the idea of being able to make a huge mess in a room that was “inside”.
-We went to the LA Zoo for the second time. The highlight of the trip for you was seeing an elephant pee…lovely!  :0)
-You really enjoy going to the Library and love your weekly trips there with Daddy and Fa**h.

Well kiddos, our year anniversary is one month away! Although there we moments when time seemed to crawl, the year has actually flown by!!! Next month will be my lastly monthly update…bittersweet! Love you!!!!
