Time flys!!
















Where does the time go? I find it hard to believe we have been home now for over 130 days. The end of this month will be 5 months Wow!!!! Juliaana is adjusting very well. She is in preschool and has gone to kindergarten roundup and can't wait to start in the fall. She is just a giant sponge and has totally absorbed the English language. People who do not know she is from Ukraine are surprized by her language skills. I find it so crazy that this was a child labled Mentally Retarded. We took her to the circus for her sixth birthday and she sat on the edge of her seat with her mouth hanging open the entire time. It's amazing that you don't realize how many firsts you will get to have with a child that you adopt even if they are not a baby. We did dance this last few months and she loved it. She has lost three teeth and is still not quiet sure what to do with the money the tooth fairy brings her but her brothers will be happy to show her how to spend it. I will try and post a bit more offten I know that I have been very lax but it's wild how much crazier our lives are with just one more child.

Thanks for the email. Loved the photos of everyone! What a great looking family!

Julianna sounds like she's doing fantastic! What a cutie with her missing teeth!!! We have not hit that milestone yet, but Sarah asks constantly when she'll start losing them. LOL! I tell her as she gets closer to 6 it will probably start happening.

Good to hear from you!
