More Erratic Behavior

Seems like our kids are always up to something. This morning, Baby C decided to carry the bathroom scale around with him wherever he went. Then I noticed that his cheeks were pudgier than normal, so I reached into his mouth and fished out my watch.

On Friday, Graham came into our bedroom at 6am looking very sleepy. Will said, "Graham, what are you doing awake?" and Graham suddenly started yelling at the top of his voice, "Caw! Caw! Caw!". He was telling us that he had heard a crow outside the window. Yesterday, he dumped out an entire bowl of pasta salad on the floor (which I scooped back into the bowl for us to continue eating). His favorite song lately is "Onward, Christian Soldiers".



Gabriella has a knack for rolling under things until only her head is exposed. For example...







We bought a playset for the kids and put it up over the weekend. Turns out all we really needed to get was a slide for the front porch.



They had lots of fun putting it together, though. Not sure what Graham's face is doing in this picture.



Thanks, Aunt Kim and Chris, for all of your help!

Baby C Update

For all of you who are wondering about the status of Baby C's adoption, he is now in adoptive placement with us. Time to lawyer up. We could be about 6 weeks away from the official adoption, but it depends on how busy the courts are.

The Birthday Presence

We spent the first weekend in June at Will's family's house celebrating our nephew Logan's birthday. It was good to see some people we hadn't seen in quite a while, and our kids enjoyed playing with their cousins. Like my sister-in-law Gwen said, at times it looked like a redhead convention.

Before we headed to the party, we stopped to see our sweet little niece Isabella and eat lunch with Gwen. Isabella looks like a tiny little doll, but she's growing like a champ. Here we are at the Children's Hospital.





Will's picture is with Baby C, so I can't post it. Graham especially liked the spinning chair.
