Catching up

Let me give a little recap of life...
- Carli seems to continue to do very well with the transition to her new life here. When she first came she wasn't the most balanced walker. However, now she is running quite a bit and her gross motor skills are improving
- Jenna had a difficult time with the transition, much more so than we expected. There was one week where she spent most of the time crying. She is doing much better now
- Carli and Jenna are true sisters. They love each other, but they get into some great arguments, also. Carli loves to make Jenna laugh. But then, like at breakfasts, they'll start arguing over something and it'll just keep escalating until they're both yelling... it is funny and not so funny both at the same time
- Connor and Andrew keep plugging away, slow and steady. They are doing really well at swimming lessons and love doing it
- Amanda and I? Well, having 4 kids has been a bigger challenge than we expected. We're coping, but we are also trying to make some changes. We've scaled back some of our responsibilities, Amanda isn't going to school this summer, we're trying to have more unstructured time with the kids, and we've lined up some babysitting so we can go out on dates!

That's the update for now... stay tuned.
