Well, we finally have our blog created and customized!! Thank you Becky for all of your hard work, we love it. If anyone else needs their blog customized, please click on the link below. Becky is customizing blogs to help with her second adoption.

We are having a wonderful summer so far. We are doing our best to take advantage of the down time of summer. We have been being a little lazy, which sure is nice as we know that once school starts again, I will go back to being Mom's Taxi Service.

Allison is doing great! It is so hard to believe (and accept) that she will be going to high school this year AND learning to drive. I cannot believe that my "baby" is growing up so fast. I tell you it was just yesterday that I was rocking her to sleep. She is nervous about high school and driving~which is good. She is ready to resume her ballet classes and to meet some new friends.

Anna is doing wonderful. We have an appointment next week to get her ST resumed since moving to Kansas. She no longer cries when I leave, which is a big improvement. Anna is so sweet, very sensitive and a "little Mommy". We are now guessing how many children she will have as she loves helping and taking care of everyone else, including me!

Avery is growing so tall, just last week someone thought she was 5 or 6! I made sure to look at the ladies face when I told her that nope, she was 3! Of course, Avery will be 4 very soon and has decided to have her party at Chuck E. Cheese, which makes Mom and Dad very happy! Yes, I will happily show up with a cake, have fun and then leave the mess to someone else. Avery tells me daily and anyone else who will listen that she is having a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, she is a little excited!

Alenia, well is Alenia. She is either totally happy or totally NOT happy. She also has the courtesy to let everyone else around know when she is not happy. She is VERY stubborn. We know that this will be a good thing when she is older, but right now she can be such a pain. Lucky for her we love her. ;) We also know that she will be a leader, not a follower. I try to remind myself of this daily.

Audie, we received PA last week and we were DTC in early July. We hope to travel Oct/Nov, but we will have to see. A friend of mine got to meet him when she was in China adopting her son, and she said that he was very shy and had the longest eye lashes she has ever seen on a little boy. I cannot wait to scoop him up and love on him. Little does he know that he is going to have four big sisters, one being his virtual twin! We are working on adding some boy toys and color to our Princess decor.

Well, off to bed I go! Blessing to you and your family!
