January so far






We've managed to settle down a bit after the holidays and our big move. The boys went back to school, Andy went back to work and Maddie and I began (and are still) unpacking and getting our new house all set up. We love our new house, it has a lot more room for our new family of 5 (plus the dog and the cat). We decided to use one of the bedrooms upstairs as a therapy room for Dylan so he can have therapy a few days a week in his own therapy room now, he is very excited about this. We made our sun room into a nice cozy 2nd family room (wii room). The boys got a wii for Christmas and it was the perfect place to put it. We have fun on the weekends playing wii sports and racing games together as a family. We also love having a fenced in yard where the kids can play outside and Savannah can run free. Maddie continues to amaze us. The move really didn't affect her at all. We were worried that it might disrupt her current routine and good sleeping habits she had developed, but it didn't affect either. We had our 3 month post adoption visit with our social worker a couple weeks ago and it went very well. Maddie is currently cutting 2 more teeth (ouch) and is continuing to learn more words. Her latest words are baby and meme (for Maddie) and she continues to LOVE music and dancing, she really knows how to move to the music! She also discovered the sit and spin and loves to spin! We didn't do much to celebrate Tet (The Vietnamese New Year) this year, we just ordered Vietnamese crunchy noodles from Mama Fu's for dinner. Maybe next year when we are more organized, we will do a bit of a bigger celebration. Brendan celebrated his 9th birthday last weekend. We had a BBQ with some friends on Saturday for his celebration. That has been our January so far. Enjoy the pictures.
