April Appraisal

As we look back on the past two months, we are very grateful for how well things are going overall. We’ve established our new routine, and things are very busy, but running smoothly.  Anastasiya is learning more and more English and fitting into school nicely. For the most part, the kids get along.  It is funny(sometimes) to see her and Adam jockey for position in the house. They have the typical love/hate relationship the older two have at times. With the coming of warmer weather, the four of them have enjoyed going to the park together. The other day Anastasiya told Richard something about Allie being the only sister she’s ever had, and Andrew and Adam being the first brothers.  Richard told her that she is the only sister Allie has ever had, too!  When Allie was asking her about her friends at school and who her best friend was, she told Allie that she is her best friend. So the adjustment goes on, and we are happy with the progress so far.  We updated our family picture:
