Home TEN Months!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! As of 2/10, it has been 10 months since we became a family of 6 and brought T and M home from Ethiopia! Life truly does feel "normal" and it is hard to even remember what life was like when we only had 2 children...I think it was a bit quieter! :0)  Our 10th month was a quiet month as we enjoyed not having an over-scheduled schedule...like we had during the holidays. So here are a few highlights of our 10th month together:

T**s**e:
Sometimes I feel like I brag about you too much....but you truly continue to "wow" EVERYONE you meet! People are AMAZED at how well you speak english, how well-behaved and helpful you are, and your natural leadership abilities. We can't wait to see how God uses you to do amazing things for Him!!! Here are some highlights of your 10 month:

-You started playing softball! As we expected, you naturally picked up on the sport and you really enjoy being out on the field. 

-You are the "Queen of Jumping Rope"! You jump rope at school every day and have fun trying to come up with new tricks to impress your peers and teachers. 

-You lost your other front, top tooth. So you now have a big open space in the front of your mouth. You can sing the song, "All I want for Valentine's Day are my 2 front teeth..."

M****n***m:

You LOVE life..........period! It is so refreshing to see you enjoy the best of every moment. You have so much to teach others about this! Your sweet, teddy bear spirit is such a blessing to our family. No matter what is going on or what you are doing, we always know your heart is in the right place! Here are some highlights of your 10th month:

-You really ENJOY playing dress-up. You come up with the funniest outfit combinations as you have no issues with mixing "boys" and "girls" items.

-You love being outside and your favorite thing is riding your bike....although you are getting really good at riding the scooter you got for Christmas.

We LOVE YOU BOTH abundantly and love that God has beautifully knit our hearts together!!!
