Spring Break Happenings


Its been a busy three weeks since our last post. Two of the weeks Cameron had Spring Break so we had lots of free time.

Cameron attended Matthew's 5th birthday party. It was a Knex party and boy did Cameron love it. While Cameron was gone to the party, Kyle and Mommy has the car fixed. Ouch that was painful on the pocketbook. We had the front struts replaced.

Kyle has been going through some sleep issues lately but its all perfectly normal for his age. He decided not to nap one afternoon and is of course stalling and wanting us to stay in the room with him. Overall he is still a wonderful sleeper. He is often comforted by the numerous stuffed animals that join him in bed.

We've gone to several friends houses for play dates over Spring Break. We visited with Nancy, Sam, Ann, and Rochelle. We love play dates!

Mommy and Daddy have been working on remodeling our main floor bathroom. Grandma and Grandpa have been a huge help. We couldn't have done it without them. There are still a few minor things to do but boy the change is drastic. We have been such good boys while they have been working.

Mommy attended her cousin Liz's bridal shower in Albany yesterday. She said it was nice to see family and catch up with everyone. We had a fun day with daddy.

Cameron has been into building with Knex lately. He plays with them for hours. He says that he wants to be a Knex engineer when he grows up. That way he can play while he works. Sounds like fun to mommy and daddy. Cameron also loves to read books from the Magic School Bus series. He loves learning all about science.

Kyle has a new saying lately. We all laugh so hard every time we hear it. He loves to say "Sweet Man". Future surfer alert. Kyle loves Clifford lately...hope you enjoy the photo of the boys with Clifford from our last trip to the MN Children's Museum.

Adoption update: Mommy and Daddy received word from USCIS that their I600A application was approved on March 16, 2009. It took 90 days for the US government to research our family and make sure we would be a good family for our new sister. One less paperwork issue is now out of the way.

A bit of bad news on the adoption is that we received word from our agency that the wait time between referral to traveling to bring our sister home has increased. It normally was 10 to 14 weeks but now the wait could be up to five months. Mommy says this makes her sad because we will miss more time with her. But who knows things could change again.

I have no idea what Knex are but they are now at the top of my wish list if it will keep a kid occupied for hours :)

Wendy, you would feel better if you knew how many times Kyle has watched the movie "Cars" in the last few weeks! What are you gonna do, it's Lightning McQueen!
