July Update

I have been thinking for weeks now that I should update this blog, but the boys have been really keeping us busy. We had our annual trip to Kennywood, and lots of Graduation parties to attend. The boys have been very busy, from morning to night. Slipping and sliding, riding quads, and catching fireflies. They also spend lots of time fighting and playing together!

Matt and I are doing well. Matt has been laid off for the summer, so he has become Mr. Mom and does a good job. The boys are really enjoying their time with Daddy! For the 4th of July weekend we all met at the Cabin. It was fun and the kids had a great time with their cousins. There was a lot of quad and dirt bike riding, but we have turned a leaf. It was the first time that there were no accidents or injuries! I think everyone is getting the hang of this.

As for baby Mia, we wait. Things appear to be speeding up already as China has announced that adoptions will be not be completed until after the Olympics, but they are sending out more referrals, that's good news. The bad news is that now our agency has not been accredited and we may need to change agencies. The agency is appealing the denial and we are hopeful that things will work out. Their sister agency received the accreditation, so we can use them if worse comes to worse. We have waited long enough already and hope that things will go smoothly. I have picked the paint color and will begin the room soon. We are at least at the home stretch. We'll be sure to keep everyone updated. Happy summer!
