7 Quick Takes




Phew! So, we've made it through our first full week of school, and we're doing well! We're a little more tired than usual, but I think we're getting used to it. The new school has been okay. It's not Kolbe school, but it'll do for now. Amelia is really loving her teacher, and Lily is enjoying making new friends while she has her best friend by her side.


Unfortunately, I'm going to have to be that mom, again... and talk to the priest about why the school supports Girl Scouts.  My girls are heartbroken that they can't join, and I am pretty ticked off that there are still parishes that support them. But, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that they just don't know... Pray for me.

Info on why we do not do Girl Scouts:

Maks is doing great. He has added so many new words to his vocabulary, it's adorable. His newest one is, "BEEP BEEP!" :) We are still trying to catch up on all the doctor's appts he needs, but we're getting there. He has his IEP eval the 9th, and he will hopefully start preschool soon after that. We also have an in-home meeting with our support coordinator for therapies next week. I can't wait to see our sweetie bloom and grow!


Tessa starts her final year of preschool next year. She has the same wonderful teacher that Lily had for Pre-K, so I'm really excited! Pray that the schedule doesn't kill me. I will have kids at 3 different schools and I'm not sure how it will all work!


Man, I'm bad at blogging lately. I don't know how to fill up these last 3 takes... I guess I'll fill them with orphans :)


If you want to adopt from a different country that we did, check out this sweet baby!




If you want to adopt from an amazing region, check out these sweeties. I'd get them if I could, but we're at our limit right now. :(

If you have any questions about the process, fundraising, or the region, ask me! I'd be happy to help!

Happy weekend!

7 Quick Takes



 
 
Phew! I've let the blog go by the wayside a bit. We've been so crazed this summer. Trying to keep the kids busy and trying to stay sane and out of this heat is a little brutal...

 
We celebrated 8 months home with Maks yesterday! I am amazed by how time flies and how well he's doing.



Maks had an ortho apt on Wednesday for his feet, but we missed it, thanks to a flat tire and a series of events I'd rather not rehash. It was SUCH a waste of a day, and now we have to reschedule. :(

 
We've been lucky this summer that we have some friends that invite us over to swim! The boys both like the pool, and the girls are getting really good with their swimming! I bought some puddle jumpers (I think that's what they're called), and they have made swimming with this many kids SO doable! I love them.

 
We were lucky enough last weekend to meet Amelia's new teacher (who is a nun). She was at our parish (I think trying to recruit new families for the school). It was so exciting for me and Amelia to be able to talk to her at our own parish, and it totally happened by chance. :) God is good to us.

 
Today is my hubby's birthday. I don't have anything planned for today, but tomorrow we are going out to dinner with just Samuel. I can't wait to get out of the house.

 
Now, you can't get much cuter than these boys. If I didn't have 6 already, I'd go get them MYSELF. But, I'll share the love. I can't take all the cute babies of the world, unfortunately. Now someone, go get these cuties!
