Yesterday we picked up the mail and were overjoyed to learn that Josee and Natalie have now been legally re-adopted in the state of Colorado! Woohoo! We submitted the paperwork awhile back, including a request to change their date of birth, and had sort of forgotten about it in all the hustle and bustle of fall. We celebrated last night with a pizza party out on the town with Bibi and Babu!
It has been a crazy fall with school, soccer for the big girls, devo mountainbiking and dance for all. I think we are looking forward to our activity world slowing down a bit. The girls are doing well but each one (including the older girls) have their days and sometimes their weeks. This week has been challenging for Natalie and full of meltdowns and emotional drama. Seems to come in waves for the little girls as they continue to adjust. Fortunately, the little girls usually don't melt at the same time - thank God! Lots of extra hugs this week for Natty. I must remind myself of all her little heart has been through the past 4 months - not your average preschooler's challenges! Please pray for her this week - it is hard not to know exactly what is going on in her head.
All four girls are loving school this year and we are blessed with wonderful and patient teachers. Nat and Josee are in preschool 3 full days a week and are loving it! They love their teacher and are learning so many things - they came home the other day and counted to 20! Kate is enjoying her community outreach "elective" and Abby loves everything about school.
Life is crazy right now but we are thankful EVERY DAY that our entire family is finally together!
