Life with 5

Thought I was going to get to do a 2 week update...well how about a 5-6 week update?! Blogging is just usually at the bottom of my list, also don't know if that many read it... Flight home was long and exhausting, but we mad it ok. Baby boy had a rough time especially the 1st couple of weeks because of being left and his new "twin" sister. But by now he has taught her how to get into everything and they are used to each other. It is very much like having twins and keeping us busy! But in a lot of ways its still hard to believe and doesn't always seem like we have 5 kids, I don't know, hard to explain... And I've been realizing it kind of strange because I'm obviously so much more bonded to baby boy. Became even more aware last night when baby girl had a really rough evening and night and I was having a hard time and we even stayed home from church today. But I had to remind myself, we have only been home 5 weeks, even though it feels much longer! I need to give her and myself grace! Overall she is coming out of her shell and becoming comfortable, like I said, getting into trouble with her younger brother! She is happy most of the time, she is still eating like crazy, has been walking for a couple of weeks, and trying to talk to do signs. Still trying to find my new groove overall, hopefully will get a good one this summer. Older kids are finishing up schoolwork. Rod and Austin are going on a missions trip to AZ with our church for a week in July. Naomi is taking an art class and going to a horse camp a couple of times for the day. Austin is also going to do a rock climbing class and an animation class. Rod and Austin are going to the cabin by themselves for a couple of days in June and then Naomi and I are going to stay at my grandpa's near the beach in Aug. I will also have a new nephew end of June or beginning of July and another one in Sep. I may go to the homeschool conference in July. We are also planning on going to homeschool family camp in Sep. It sounds like a lot maybe, but we are mostly staying home and continuing to adjust. Would appreciate prayers for continued bonding and adjustment, dr. appts. and evaluations!!
