My attempt at Kp's hair!

Kb and his new hair-do!

All the Ks

Ky and Kp

Kb and Kd

The kids are doing well...it is fun to watch their personalities blossom. Kp is very smart and catches on very quickly. It is still hard for us to understand everything that she says, but a combination of speaking slower and opening her mouth when she talks and putting the endings on the words, has really aided Brian and I in understanding her. She is also learning how to talk less with her eyes and facial expressions (any other fellow parents commiserate?) and actually tell us what is bothering her. Overall she has been such a blessing. She is a wonderful helper and has such a wonderful heart to serve. When we have clean up time, she is always willing to help. She actually cleaned all the toys out from under our couches...I guess she noticed the junk! When we came home from Walmart the other day, she helped me put away all the groceries and all the other kids followed what she did. I had all the groceries put away in 5 minutes! I actually washed and did her hair today - with my arsenal of hair products! And I found that not only does she have a white mama, but she has a right handed white mama, with a left handed little girl!

Kb is a lot of fun. He talks non-stop, and I am not joking or exaderating either! He must say Mummy about 50 times before breakfast alone. I has just become "background noise." And he can EAT! Even just tonight, he ate 3 servings of dinner! Guess we are just feeding the parasites! (Heehee - I don't know if he has any - it was just a joke!) He also had his first hair cut here and there was slight miscommunication between mommy and daddy and he ended up bald. Not what mommy wanted, but he still looks cute. By the way, while I am writing this he is sitting on my lap talking about and playing with a doll house toilet! He is quite fascinated by it! He is just messing with my concentration!

Kd and Ky are both doing great with the transition. There is much applause the them on sharing their toys without much hesitation. We tried to get back into our routine as soon as we got back, so Ky was back to school and dance and Kd was back to...well, whatever it is that he does all day? Ky and Kp play very well together as long as one is ok with being bossed around by the other

Thanks:

-Bogars: can't remember if I mentioned before and forgot to check, but thanks for taking us to the airport and picking us up...for cleaning our terribly filthy van and filling it with gas...and for the gifts for the kids - they have slept with them every night - and I forgot to tell you the the boys room has monkeys in it and the girls room is the princess and the frog theme, so the frog was great!
-Gina: for another meal :-)

-Walls and Vicki - thanks for the great meal - Kb really enjoyed it!
