Five months home








Well here we are finally some down time now that Michaels change of command is done. We had a great week and have now had a chance for Juliyana to meet most of her family. I have attached a bunch of photos from our crazy week. Jewles is loosing teeth like mad. If we hadn't been to the dentist I might be worried. She has lost four in a month and has two more that are loose. Our boys lost there teeth much slower and mostly one at a time. We saw our fist fireworks last night and she loved them. We are so amazed daily by how quickly she has learned english and think she will be in great shape for kindergarten in September. The boys have adjusted so well to having a sister you'd think she had been here for the past six years not jsut 5 months. Don't get me wrong we deal with issues everyday that tie to her 41/2 years in the orphanage she has no concept of what an inside voice is she yells most of the time and she has punched some of our friends at school and we don't usually want to follow directions well but in the grand scheam of things we are adjusting nicely.
