It has been awhile!

I always hated it when you follow a families adoption up to meeting their child, and then they stop blogging.  Don't you?  You want to see the new child at home!  I did ok for awhile but then nothing exciting has been happening and life is just busy!

Everyone is doing well.  Meilin has settled in but it is still an adjustment.  She is still trying to figure out her way around her new life and family.  I also think she is trying to see where she fits in with the little two.   Her English is really coming along and I believe she understands everything we say.  Pretty soon we will understand her 100% too.  It will be nice when she can fully communicate in English though.

She is still attending preschool four afternoons a week with Max and Mia.  She really likes going to school and doesn't like days without it.

Something new is getting to play outside as the weather has finally gotten nicer.  She loves being outside!  We have had some nice days here and there and she will be outside as much as we let her.  It is fun to watch her just run around the backyard exploring everything.  It opened a whole new world for her!

Everyone else is doing well too.  Travis will graduate in two months from High School! That is so hard to believe.  Maddie and Macy are adjusting to a new sister and life after China.  They are such a great help and good girls.  Max and Mia are in one word... crazy.  They keep us busy and are also adorable and loving.  They have changed our lives for the better for sure and there is never a dull moment.

I will now find some pictures of our crazy little life!  We joined the Courage League in town.  It is a gym with classes and open gym times for kids with special needs and their families!  It has been so much fun for our entire family!  It also helped us use up some energy during the long winter!






There weren't many days warm enough to get outside this year.  It was an extremely cold winter!  The first day it was nice though we took the kids out to go 4 wheeling in the snow.  We all had a great time. It was Meilin's first time on a 4 wheeler and she loved it!
