and a few more





Just some more pictures





6 Months and counting

Hi All
We had a 6 month "checkup" with our social worker today for Sammy's adoption. Of course I cleaned like crazy all morning, but aside from that all went very well. It was nice to reminisce about the past six months and how far we have come. It seems like just yesterday we were in China waiting to come home. Caitlin and Sammy are really close. Theyare playing together and seem to really enjoy one another. I think this summer will be wonderful. Caitlin is reading constantly, writing 2 to 3 sentences on a topic and just being generally amazing. Sammy is learning her shapes and going to school and daycare. She is working in potty training and loved basketball season and going to the big gym to see all the kids and family there. I am counting down the days until Summer Break. One more week until Spring Break ad its all down hill after that thank God. Pat and I even went out on a date this weekend. Amazing. So here are some recent pictures. SOme go back to Feb and Sammy first day of school.
