Settling In

We are all starting to settle in. We are starting to get used this 4 kid thing. We notice a big difference when we assemble pancakes, tacos or hamburgers. By the time Joseph and I are ready to eat someone is ready for seconds.

The kids are doing very well. Katya continues to show improvements in adjustment. Today someone came over to visit me. Katya screamed until I picked her up. She then sat on my lap and held tight to me until the lady left. I think she was afraid that my friend would try to take her with her. So much for a little one to process.
She and Brigham have a cute relationship. She gives him hugs and goes to him for comfort. He is really taking on this big brother role, even being bossy. One evening we found him helping Katya brush her teeth.

Daniel is adjusting very well. He knows what it's like to be a family boy now. He enjoys the backyard alot. He is getting more coordinated as he jumps on the trampoline more and more. He also enjoys riding his bike.

As for the photos: I have been busy being a mom. I just barely took them in for developing. I will get them back Monday and post some and soon as I get a chance. In the meantime here are a few more we have taken since we got home. Hope you enjoy them.
