April Showers Bring... and Lots of Rained-Out Games!

Where has April gone?

Since we haven't posted for a month, we just want to let everyone know that all is well and the kids are doing "Simply Marvelous!"

Between Tax preparation, on-going issues with USCIS, sports (both kids), rained-out baseball games and life in general have kept us VERY busy this month. Throw in Bill making a major job change to put the icing on the cake, and it becomes easy to understand why this month's entry is short.

Life has been so busy that the camera memory chip is about full and both batteries are about drained. Remember the TV commercial where a boy is paused in mid-leap into the swimming pool because his mom hasn't downloaded the pictures? Life has been like that. Not in a bad way, just BUSY! Kate's basketball season has ended and we have a couple weeks off before she starts softball. Meanwhile, David plays a mean game of baseball, especially for a kid who didn't know what the game was just four months ago!

Both David and Kate are making fantastic progress in language and academics. We still have a few areas to work on, but they are picking up English fast enough to make people wonder if they're the same kids we brought home.

We'll post another update soon!
