It's time for an update......

I have been so busy I don't know where the time goes each day. I am so behind, I am not sure where to begin, but here goes. The girls are sleeping through the night, yea! That has been wonderful. There were a few really long nights initially, but they love their room and especially their books. Their favorite are the ones with the buttons on the side and they can push and make fun sounds with. They both have a great love for "Dora the Explorer". She is a cute girl, I can see why they like her. We watch her on TV and they have books and toys with "Dora" on it. She is a fav!

I have never gone through so many eggs in my life! The girls LOVE eggs! They usually eat 2-3 each every day along with some oranges or maybe a cup of oatmeal. They love breakfast! They are starting to enjoy some TV while they wait for me to cook their breakfast. I think they understand so much more English now that it is somewhat enjoyable. They both have the funniest sense of humor. Whenever something funny happens in the house or on TV they are very quick to point it out and to start laughing. It is contagious for sure!

Addy started preschool and just loves it. I have really seen a change in her attempts to talk although she (most of the time) still chooses to speak her native language. She talks a million miles a minute when I pick her up from school. It is so cute and so animated. The teacher has told me how the kids just cheer when she says or repeats a word in English. They are very sweet to her and cheer her on!

Cami would jump right into preschool herself if she could. She still needs to tackle the potty thing. All in due time. She is an amazing help at the grocery store though. She and I usually pick a time and run and do the shopping when Addy is in school. She is a charmer and always waves and says Hi to anyone that passes by! She is very loveable and is really doing well on her English too!

I continue to be in sheer amazement at how resilient children are. The girls have adapted so well and are making such wonderful progress. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look and them and think of their birth parents and just have such great love and admiration for them.
