What a Week!

There were many new adventures and introductions this week. The boys met their Aunt Nora and Uncle Bill along with cousins Gina, Anthony and Vincent. It went quite well.

Then they met Uncle Tim and Aunts Susan and Cindy along with cousins Meghan and Kaitlin. Another great time had by all!

Chris' "cave" went a long way to becoming a playroom, just a few touches still needed. That Chris is such a giver.

Matthew made his first run to Home Depot and was very excited by the hex bolts and wood screws as well as the gardening section. He's a good little shopper.

Wednesday was big. In the morning we checked out St. Brigid School for the pre-K and 3 year old programs. It's very convenient which is good since the military boarding pre-school programs are all full. In the afternoon we went to the pediatrician who dubbed Matthew and Thomas "fantastic". This visit was lively. Thomas fell and cut his lip in the waiting room while we were alone. When he was in full blown bleeding screaming and rolling on the floor mode, he had a full room and we could proudly say, "That one is ours."

It's all good times and precious moments.

Hello,
I was referred to your blog by the Kirklands. We adopted our son & daughter from the same orphanage as you in July. We came home Aug. 14 after 35 days in Ukraine. After seeing pictures of your older son, I see that he was in the same group as our son. I can email you some of the photos that contain him if you like... just let me know... We remember your son very well- he is full of spunk. My husband, Don, wants to tell you that you are lucky to have him. We liked him a lot. I'm so happy for him (and his brother) and you too that you can all be a family! Take care and hang in there..our first month back was the worst but it gets better with each day that passes. You have your hands full with 2 kids (just as we did). Jackie Seals (Jseals33@aol.com)
