My sister in law wants me to update this more. So I will make an attempt. I apologize. Its hard to get to during the day when I'm homeschooling 4, taking care of a two and three year old and trying to keep the house in some semblance of order!
Well today is my birthday. I won't tell you old I am. I got a nice surprise call from my sweet brother. thanks! Got presents from my husband and children and ate brownies and ice cream..yummy! Got beautiful flowers from my mom and a pie and presents from my friend Laura! It was good day.
This week is also the anniversary of getting our CIS approval for Corwin! Its hard to believe that its been a year. We are so blessed to have him. We already had our 6 month post adoption homestudy. We would love bring another boy or girl home, I just wish it was not so much money.
Ok tomorrow I will post more pictures....

Catch up
I know I been terrible at updating this! Forgive me, I have six kids!
Things have been going pretty good. We had a nice quiet Christmas and Corwin turned three in November, also he got his Certificate of Citizenship in October. We spent Thanksgiving with some wonderful friends. Also Sophia turned 9, Samuel is now 7 and this month Sarah will be 11. Where is all the time going? We will also have our first teenager in April.......please help me!
Ok , lets see Corwin saw the cleft palate surgeon and he is won't need anything for at least a year. Also saw an ENT and there is some indication that he has some very mild hearing loss. We are scheduled for an in depth hearing test in April.
Homeschooling is ....hmmmmmmmmmm, how shall I put it? Challenging right now but we are taking it day by day.
I have posted some new pictures.
Enjoy!

Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for single minute
You didn’t grow under my heart –
But in it.

I know I have not been good about posting updates. Sorry, its been a little crazy around here. Also this week I've been feeling under the weather.
We are ready to celebrate our first Thanksgiving with Corwin. He is fitting in just like he was always here. He and Kai are like twins. They are 5 months apart in age and must always be doing the same thing or have the same thing. If Kai has a sucker then Corwin wants one....well duh what kid doesn't want candy when he sees his brother having some? But you get the picture right? Today they were hiding from each other and laughing......all giggles, I had to stop and watch and smile and rejoice in the moment. Right now they are sleeping like angels...so precious. I can't believe that the boy we prayed for for so long is here and has been for 2 months!
Today we went and visited a friend whose family owns a Chinese restaurant. She had not seen Corwin yet and started to talk to him in Chinese. I did not know if he would still remember it but he did. He answered her in Chinese.
Well, its late so I'll post new pics tomorrow!
Cheerio!
