Having Lots of Fun

Things just keep getting better and better. I can report that we have been three weeks now without a crying spell; no more waking in the night either. She is having a great time at school. We had the journal that was sent home with her from her foster parents translated. She was in the second year of kindergarten in China this year (they have three years of KG) and apparently the children in China go to school until 5pm each day. In other words, she was very used to the "school routine". She has done fantastic. Her class has a field trip to Winter Livestock on Tue. of this week. I'm anxious to see how she likes that. :) It's her turn to bring snacks this week, so of course, we are starting off with the famous peanut butter cookies! We went to aunt Linda's surprise birthday party this weekend and got in a little bike time too. Piper loves the trail-a-bike. She likes to race the boys too! Harley turned 15 Saturday. I can hardly believe it. Time is flying by so quickly. He and Sydney both did really well at Tri-State this week; ones, ones, and more ones! I included a couple of pictures of Piper "pouting" on the way to church this morning. Harley had jumped out and scared her before we left and she was not happy! She decided to sulk and covered her face with a coloring page. When we stopped to get gas in Pond Creek, Kevin took her paper away and told her to straighten up. She decided to use the next available thing (her hands) to cover her face until, I'd say, about Kremlin. :) I almost hated to take her picture, but it was just too funny and I couldn't resist! I wish all my children would protest this silently. Hmm.
