3 months!!

Okay so we have been home for three months and it is probably time to start posting at least every once in a while. I find that we just don't spend much time on the internet any more. How life changes when you go from zero kids to having a ten year old and a two year old. There have been some major adjustments but we are starting to fall into a routine and things are starting to run smoothly. Sofie is doing very well in school. On her first math test she got a 97% and on her second math test she was the only student in the class to get a 100%. We are very proud of her and how hard she has worked. She studies very hard. She is also getting good grades in science and spelling. She loves school and has made many friends. Sam is doing very well too. It is amazing how much English both children are learning so quickly. I asked Sofie the other day whether she still thinks in Amharic and she said that she thinks in English and can hardly even remember Amharic. We will have to take some steps to make sure she does not completely forget but it is amazing how quickly children adapt.

Well just wanted to throw a post out there and let everyone know that we are still alive and doing well. I will try to post every once in a while.

It's great to see how things are going with you guys. I'm sure there's tons of adjustments you've been through and are still going through. Even though Sarah was our 4th child and only 1 1/2 when we adopted her, there was a LOT of adjustments going on over here. So I totally understand that you don't have so much internet time, but we love to see how things are going when you DO get a chance.

Hey! good to hear things are going well for you guys! We have had quite the adjustments going on here. Not only for Sophie & our other kids, but big time for me. It is definitely an emotional roller coaster for us here! Things do seem to be settling down though most days.
