Happenings

I guess I have been neglectful in keeping things up to date. We have, again, 3 little guys.

Apollo is almost 6 months and trying to crawl. (He loves the bubbles in his bath.) Fabiano, who is our most recent addition, is 2 years old. He doesn't really speak and has some developmental things going on. It's basically from neglect that he does not know some words. But we are working on that. And what a smile. And of course, Anthony who has been with us from November 22, with a minor leave of 3 weeks, and back again. All three will be up for adoption, as we understand it.

It's busy but so enjoyable, accept for the crazy, hot, days. We registered Anthony for Kindergarten just in case he stays for that long. Both he and the little one had their shots on Friday, 8 in total. So the house was a little chaotic. But now that I think of it, when is it not. Between homeschooling, almost finished, and trying to get things in order for visits from investigators, probation officers, lawyers, Social Workers and an occasional friend, we tend not to have lots of time. We go to the church on Thursdays so the kids can play in fellowship hall. I run the nursery while many of the women work visitation. So the kids have others to play with and we color and all sorts of things.

Today we went to Petco for a field trip. I'm pretty sure Anthony has never seen animals, fish, birds, guniea pigs, rabbits,ferrets, turtles , and lizards up that close. (Notice, I left out Rats and mice.)What excitement! Molly was busy showing him all the different fish like NEMO. My word, he was sort of screaming with joy. Oh the little pleasures of being a child with new expereinces. And what a cheap field trip. We even got to watch as a dog was being groomed. The baby caught that one He loves Isabella so that's who he thought it was. He was really trying to talk to him.

We appreciate Stephie too! She does an extraordinary job helping out! We had a bit of a problem yesterday when Anthony accidental knee-ed Molly in the mouth.

OPPS. Well, it was only one and it was really wiggly. So she only has two more that seem loose. but I really wish they would do this stuff at their house.

All is still the same in Spfld. we'll keep you posted.

love to all, MoM
