And time goes on

We are still here. My oldest children have even managed to become middleschoolers. Wow! How did that happen so fast? Seems like every day with them goes by faster than the last. I watch my oldest son, who has struggled with social and academic issues most of his life, and see him excelling. He actually has friends outside of children who belong to my own friends. AMAZING! My middle son has started to come into his own. He definitely is not afraid to voice his displeasure with life or his enjoyment. A far cry from the terrified sick child that was handed to me in the Guatemalan airport almost 6 years ago. Wow 6 years already. Best birthday present EVER. We will celebrate his forever family day and my birthday on Monday the 16th. :)
My children amaze me daily. They each have their own unique personalities and yet share many of the same quirks and qualities, especially their fathers quick smile. I am so blessed.
