Not much to update from our house this time around. The boys are actively involved in soccer right now… we are still working on getting the house organized and the yard. We just send in our post adoption update for Sarah and are considering a second adoption in the near future, maybe get a new homestudy done this Fall. We are trying to keep low key, enjoy the weather and spend some quality family time outside with the kids now that it is actually warm out. We put the pool up and hopefully the water will be warm enough to enjoy it by this weekend.
Here are some new pictures though :-)

So what’s new at our house….
hmm Summer Break started the boys are very excited about that. Samuel not so much over the fact that he can’t stay at home with his brother every day; but call me overprotective a whole week of the two of them at home alone I would be gray by the end of the week. So we are breaking it up into every other day, besides Samuel will get much more interaction at the Summer Program then wedging with his brother at home all summer.
The weather has been really kind of crabby for us here, its gotten past 70 degrees out but unfortunately more rain then sunshine, rain alllll weekend long. So far for making progress in my Garden. But all in all it has been nice just to see the kids and the dogs be able to run outside without a care in the world unless of course they are arguing over he said she said lol….
Sarah is growing like wheat but has been a bit restless at night these days not sure yet what is going on with that and she seems to have some bad reactions to some of the bug bites, which have been really really bad, this year mosquitos and all. About a week ago she had a bite right next to her eye and I tell you she looked like Rambo, poor thing and she can’t help but scratch no matter what we put on, which does not help of course.
I had a meeting with the Speech Pathologist and Sarah will get some help with her speech struggles as soon as the new school year starts thru the school system. She tries so hard but somehow something is not working for her and we are sort of at a stand still. So now in the Fall she will go to the Early Childhood Program here 4 mornings of the week I am actually very happy about that because hopefully this will help her even more and we have to turn it up a nocht with what we do at home as well.
All in all everyone is doing great though and life actually appears to settle in finally now that we are all in a permanent spot, though hard to believe that we only moved into the house a bit over 2 months ago…..well ok looking around you may be able to tell we are not yet all settled but we did get a lot accomplished in little time :-)
Till our next update Blessings and Love from our House to Yours
