Month in Review

Okay... so more than a month! This summer has flown by.... it has been great, but I can't believe it is nearing the end of September!

Dan and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary last week! I keep thinking that I can't be old enough to have been married for 10 years! HA! But, it's true. And I have to say, it gets better with time... we were so perfectly meant for each other. I am so happy to have him for my husband.

Evelyn started kindergarten! I am in denial that she is old enough for that! She is even riding a school bus! She LOVES it. Her kindergarten class is half day in the afternoon and the first week she said, "mommy, I wish my school was all day"! She also has her first loose tooth... being a dental hygienist myself, you would have thought that I should be expecting that to come. Well, I guess I am in denial of that possibility, too!

Lindy is developing at what seems to be warp speed! She has gone from crawling to walking to now, nearly running in a matter of one month! For the first week, I kept forgetting to put shoes on her because she had always been held when we left the house! She is jabbering a blue streak. She seems to verbalize a running commentary while riding in the car... I wish I knew what she was saying! Right now, the only words that we understand are "uh-oh, momma, and dada". She has been super healthy for quite awhile and we are so pleased with that, the first two months home, her poor body had quite the adjustment to our environment. Our pediatrician was surprised to be diagnosing pneumonia in July! Through it all, Lindy has done so well! I can sense that we are about to be teething her first molars... so that may bring some excitement! :)

We feel very blessed by God in how He has created our family... Even though we have only had Lindy home for just over 3 months, she feels so much a part of us. I tell people often that I just know that God ordained her to be with us... the complexity of it all, the tragic circumstances that led us to her... He had a hand in it. Praise be to God.

We have a friend who is great with a camera and she graciously took TONS of pictures of our family... I'll share a few here.
