And We're Back...

Yes, yes, it's been too long since my last post. This is a busy, happy time of year for our family, and I'm scrambling just to keep up. But we're enjoying every minute of this whole "Family of Six" thing!

Here are a few of the goings-on of our family since my last post:

• Hannah's 10th Gotcha Day
• Hannah's 11th Birthday
• Al's and my 13th Wedding Anniversary
• Rachel's 8th birthday
• Daddy Daughter Dance
• Kaneland Fine Arts Festival (Rachel and Abbie both had works on display)
• Open House at school
• Two lost teeth (Abbie and Rachel)
• Art award for Rachel
• Awana Awards Night for Rachel
• Hannah's fourth grade recorder demonstration
• Rachel's second grade Tea for Two
• Rachel started speech therapy
• David started speech therapy
• David's Dedication at church
• Mother's Day
• A virus for Abbie and strep throat for Rachel and me
• Attended a First Communion and a Baptism for two different China friends
• Hannah finally cut her hair for Locks of Love
• David's first haircut

Not to mention day-to-day living details, like food, laundry, and getting to a million places on time with all required gear and snacks. All washed down with gallons of coffee...

In the next couple of weeks we look forward to:

• Abbie's Kindergarten Graduation
• Portraits done of the girls
• Get-together with David's China group
• Mom's night with Hannah's China group moms
• Abbie's Bible Sunday at church
• Long overdue visits/play dates with good friends
• The Last Day of School!

Many of these activities have included/will include haircuts and shopping for clothing, not to mention finding shoes for three pairs of size Wide feet!

I'm living my dream!
