Wow Has it been so long???

Wow has it really been almost 3 full months since I posted anything?

The only thing I can contribute to is a very busy house and a 4yr, 2yr and a 11mo.

Things are going well. The readoption went great. We went to San Antonion back in July and met with attorney Jana Olsen Baker. Let me tell you she is just great with kids and surely has her calling working with families of adopted children. I do have pictures of everything that happened and will post them as soon as I get the camera developed.... yup that's right I haven't even done that. Then we spent the rest of the weekend in San Antonio as a family. Richard's sister, Aunt Rhonda as she is affectionaly know, was there too. We went to the San Antonio Zoo on Saturday. Let me tell you who needs a gym when you can push a double stroller loaded down with a baby and a toddler or two and a filled diaper bag. Just walk around the zoo pushing it up hill a lot of the time..LOL Everyone was pooped when we got back to the hotel. Rhonda and I took the kids swimming in the hotel pool. They had a great time. Caleb even put his head under the water what a major deal for him. This kid has been afraid of water for a long time. Robert just wanted to hold on to his Aunt Rhonda. Then Rhonda and Richard took the kids to the playground the hotel had as well. It was a late night we didn't even eat supper until almost 9pm and it was pizza hut pizza.

August was pretty much uneventful just busy around the house trying to keep kids entertained. We did empty a little more of the old house. We still have a ways to go. Richard has been living in that house since 1987 so he has ALOT of stuff to go through. Some will go into storage (because he just can't part with it) and some stuff will be sent to the dump.....

Both boys started preschool on Sept 5th. What an ordeal that was!!!! Richard took the morning off so he could go with us. Each child's class has a special blanket they sit in when we first arrive, then devotions is done, announcements are done, birthdays are sung and then off they go for the day. The school is really pushing this year the "kiss and bye bye" at the blanket. They school has a waiting list for this year with enough kids to really open up another school. So that is alot of kids and parents. The 'kiss and bye bye" will decrease the amount of traffic in the back when they kids go back. Helps with the safety of the kids too. Anyway....Robert sat with daddy and the plan was for Caleb to sit with mommy. Well mommy sat by herself at Caleb's blanket and they men sat at Robert's blanket. I kissed and hugged Robert and he just took his Jay Jay the Jet plan lunch box grabbed a ring on the rope and off he went without a look back or tear. This kid has been waiting since he was born to go to school and there was no holding him back. NOW, my been there done that kid of 2 yrs pitched the biggest fit. Screamed and cried. Shocked me I'll tell you. This behavior went on for several weeks but I am glad to say he has finally settled into a routine. Both boys stay the whole day 8:45am to 2:30pm. Robert's class does a what they call 'nibble & nap" they eat lunch together in the classroom and take a nap. They get up after their nap and play until mommy comes to get them. Caleb is in 3 different afteroon activities. On Monday's he is in yoga and tumbling, Wednesday is art, and Friday is Busy Being 3. I know he is 4 but developementally he is really at about 3.5 so he is just great in the 3yr old class.

School pictures will be done this week and I will post some those pics when they get in. I guess I will have to learn to use the scanner.LOL

Well this is long enough so I will post this and start a new message with other things that have been going on in our lives of the Princes and the Princess

Blessings
