Ahhhhh - another week down!

Officially - we have been home two weeks now! Feels like 2 months one minute and 2 hours the next! We have been enjoying a "real" winter! Cold weather, ice and snow! A and J are back in school, which is a life saver! O and I have been hanging out during the day - trying to get things done, running around town - the fun stuff!
We were fortunate to have Uncle Steve come over during New Years and celebrate a mini-xmas... the kids loved it! Got to watch the Seahawks actually WIN a game, and lit off snow fireworks!
Little J is VERY happy to have us home! He is not too excited about having a new-roomie, that being brother A! O is still bunking with us - drives us a little batty, but it is probably best for her for awhile! She has good nights and not-so good nights!
O has been enjoying all the sights of her new home... making nice with the dog (that she totally adores now!), trying to figure out what the horses are doing, wanting SO bad to pet the chickens, being mad at the ice when she slips on it, and meeting new people! She has been very resilient and takes everything in!
She has finally calmed down in the car seat - but will panic when everyone is getting out and she is last! She has not said too many understandable words yet - but she is pretty effective with her non-verbal communications! Her understanding of English is pretty good considering!

Again - thanks to everyone who has sent us congrats emails and kind words! They were so great to read while we were gone!
