I know it has been a while, but we have been just a little busy, but no excuses. Just to catch everyone up, Callie is now out of school and is already bored with summer break,Connor just turned 16 months old and will be starting speech therapy this week(he is progressing well), Cooper is also doing well, I have lost count of how old he is (nearly three months). Kaija is working a couple of day a week while I am in school full-time. We had the oportunity to bless Cooper in church last Sunday (thanks to everyone who were able to attend), it was nice to have family here to share in the occasion. Really there is not alot to report, life has finally taken on what seems resembles a schedule and we have fallen into a routine.
We have spent the past couple of weeks working on the house, we have painted, carpeted, and purchased new furniture. It has been alot of work but it was time, we have lived in this house for five years and these were the first real improvements that we have made. The hi-light of the whole project is my new TV (60" DLP HDTV)yes I am a little spoiled but I'm not complaining. We do have to say thanks to alot of people for helping with the house. Tawnie, Paul, and Shelby were a huge help when it came time to paint, also Russ, Jani, and Megan get props for helping with the decorating. AND YES, MY RED DOOR KICKS ASS, AS WELL AS MY LITTLE CHEF MEN IN THE KITCHEN THAT CHRIS ABSOLUTELY LOVES-But most importantly Jordan needs to be recognized for his hand in obtaining and delivering the TV. Thanks again to everyone for your help. We are looking forward to seeing Sue, Jasmine, and Juanito over the next couple of weeks. We are slowly but surely moving closer to finalizing Connor's adoption, we will keep everyone informed of any developments. Connor is now a skydiver-as you can see from his pictures-which is actually quite entertaining-he is used to Cooper now, but all he likes to do is pull his hair and pull the pacifier out of his mouth and watch his reaction-other than that, he really doesn't care much about him. It is now hotter than hell here, but we will suffer through it for the next two months and then it will be nice again-love to all-US.
