September?

It's hard to believe it is already 1/2 way through September! Faith turned 4 two weeks ago (which was celebrated by a trip to the zoo). I can't figure out where the time has gone...that she should be 4 already! We have been working on her letters for awhile now, but just recently she decided she wanted to learn to read! So, we have been sounding out little words here and there and I think she will catch on quite quickly if we are diligent to practice on a regular basis. Bob came home from work yesterday and Faith went running up to him and said "Daddy, Momma was learning me how to read today!" I guess next we'll work on the correct usages for "Learn & Teach". 8-)

My brother moved to Hawaii last month, and my sister-in-law & girls followed him - leaving today. We will certainly miss then. I am not sure if I can convince Bob to take a trip out to see them or not. That'd be nice! I've always wanted to go to Hawaii. Three of my siblings have been there, and now one is living there....it'd be cool to visit -and it'd be neat to see Pearl Harbor. Right now though our travel plans are revolving around traveling in the other direction. Our adoption paperwork has been submitted - officially- and we are just waiting to hear back, but it won't be for 3-4wks yet. We're just praying it is excepted and we don't need to add any new documents or update anything before it's approved.

Although short, that about sums up life at our house right now. Just the same day to day activities. But you know what, that is kind of nice. After all my health trials last winter & early spring, I'm very happy to have day to day activities with no hick-ups! Like my mother-in-law says "One is blessed when they have an average day. Because many people start a normal day and it ends tragically." So, enjoy your "average days"!
