It's hard to believe that it was only 3 months ago that Doug and I were returning home from China with our precious Kailahni. So much has changed and happened in our life since then. Our whole world looks different...our surroundings, our home, our family...our whole life, really. It's enough to give me an anxiety attack just thinking about it.
The boys seem to be getting a handle on school. Poor Jacob is having a really hard time this year....middle school is tough stuff. And, middle school for a kid with ADHD who had to switch school mid year is REALLY tough. He's not loving school at all, but he's still trying hard and giving it his all. I "heart" Jacob! Benjamin is doing just fine academically, but begs to be home schooled. Ha...could you imagine?! I don't thinks so...not now, at least.
Kailahni is walking more and more each day, but still not full time. She's so funny about the walking thing. She looks like a weeble wobble when she walks...it's so cute. I'll have to try to get another video of it soon. She's talking more too. Her cousin, Saramarie, gave her a baby doll and she loves it to death. It's adorable how she'll cling to her baby and give it kisses.
We've been able to get out and around a little bit more lately which has been nice. With the move and everything, my friends and family have been sorely neglected by me. I'm hoping life will continue to settle down more and more so that I can get out and do more of things I enjoy with the people I have been missing. I did take Kailahni over to Lauren's house for a brief playdate the other night. It was a lot of fun to see the two girls interact together. Mardi and I have big plans for future playdates. Hopefully next time one of us will remember to take a picture. It makes me laugh to think that two of us moms have waited YEARS to see our girls play together...and when it finally happens, neither one of us bothers to pull out a camera! And we are both bloggers...there's no excuse for it!!! bahaha
I'll end this post with a big shout out to my 3/27/06 LID friends who booked their flights to China today! I can't tell you guys how much joy it brings me to see you complete your journey's. The next few weeks will be so memorable for you....there just aren't words. Enjoy every moment of it!!!

Ugg on the middle school thing...I know JUST what you mean. My Jacob kept asking us constantly to homeschool him through those two years. Hang in there, it will get better. I promise.
I can't beleive it's only been three months! It seems like much longer. I can't wait to see pictures of all you AZ mama's with your girls....SOON!!!!
Happy dance here for all the 3/27ers....Next stop China!! Now lets get to the next batch of referrals and finish up March!
3 months. How can something seem like a year ago and yesterday at the same time. I am leaving 3 weeks from tonight? crazy
You and Mardi can come. I will have a room to myself with two beds.
Wow, three months. That has gone fast. I am so glad we live near eachother now! It was so great to see you and watch our daughters play together...somthing we once could only dream about. And you're right! Why didn't we take any pic's! I even had my camera on the kitchen counter! Next time!! :)
Like I said, I still can't believe I haven't given that little girl a hug.... and you for that matter! Your kids are all beautiful and seeing the three of them together is awesome. I hope that soon I can see you and Mardi and the other girls in AZ! It will be a baby union like no other!!
