One Year Update: Photo Journal, Part 4

The kids simply LOVE Uncle Chris!
Yes, Logan is one of G.'s favorites...
The smiles are coming a lot easier after 7 months
Family gatherings aren't quite so freaky anymore
Even music recitals can be fun!
Soccer is fun... but what are these gold things?

Slip-'n-slides are the best! Good for family bonding.
This is how we discovered G. needed glasses
Every get together is a potential dog pile
Water + A.= WILD!
Another photo? What is this?

Brothers!

One Year Update: Photo Journal, Part 3

Homeschool Preschool
Their hyperactivity had me running in circles, too.
Every outing was a big deal for newly adjusting kids... hard on everyone
The boys would rather be climbing trees than watching baseball
Now THIS is fun!
Running in circles, again!
Soccer was a huge help, as it encouraged team behavior
Learning the rules was important
Meeting new family
First Easter--- candy is such a treat!
Swimming was a little scary at first, but super fun!








One Year Update: Photo Journal, Part 2

Meeting family
The infamous day at the Wild Animal Zoo... not my favorite experience!
The boys eating... again and a lot!
Why the day at the zoo really wasn't too fun...
Trying to figure out how to act...
More food... 

Finally starting to "mesh"

My squirrely girlies
School wasn't so cool for a LONG time!
What do you mean? Sofas are for sitting?
A peaceful moment for the dueling divas
Miss B. needed lots of extra reassurance that she still is my beloved

A sweet moment before heading to the US Embassy
Desperately trying to get home...

Need I say anything... really?
