Two Years Already!

It took us two years from start to finish to bring Abegail and Emmanuel home. Now in the blink of an eye, I am in the middle of my two year post placement report. I get to do them myself now since we reached the two year mark. Time flies doesn't it?

The one thing about totally uprooting your life is time seems to slow down a bit. We marked the milestones, we've been here a week, two weeks. Now life is full speed ahead with July already here and August not far away.

We had a nice Fourth of July in my hometown, Rochester, NY. I was able to run a 5K with my Dad, something I haven't done in a long time. Then we saw the fireworks.

Before heading north, we spent the day in DC with some old friends (they aren't old, we've just known them a while) and did more of the touristy things. Today I saw them again and we went to the Newseum. It's my favorite thing in DC so far..

By 8:30 last night, EVERY child was scared to go to bed because they were terrified of the tooth fairy creeping into their room while they were sleeping!! Abegail put the tooth under her pillow and then refused to sleep in her bed. She wanted to sleep on the floor...and then so did the other two. An hour and a half later, I walked into their room and A & E were asleep in E-Man's bed with the blanket pulled up over their heads. And Annie had sneaked away to HER bed. I asked Abegail this morning if the tooth fairy came. She said...

Today is Abegail's first day of school !!! And like our parents did for us...we made the kids pose for pictures! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture in focus until the bus arrived. Oh well, Annie was picking her nose anyway. Abegail got onto the bus like a real pro!! She was soooo excited! As you can see...Annie and E-Man were skeptical. Frankly, E-Man was quite concerned.
