Well, we have just 6 weeks until we leave for Ukraine. That does not seem like much time now and it is already filling up with a mini vacation to the beach with Paul as he travels for work, our addition is moving along, the kids have medical check ups and wrapping up our school year. The boys and Paul worked with Jeff our friend/contractor today and were able to get the walls up... The kids love watching the building... It will be nice when it gets done. We have had beautiful weather and it is great to be outside. We are a family who loves to be outside most of the time and the weather could not be any better.
The kids are all getting over colds and I had strep again 4th time in 8 weeks... I have a rash that was triggered by the strep and it has been driving me crazy but I am hoping that these illnesses will be over soon with the return of warm weather. I am on a strong antibiotic and they have me taking it another extra 10 days. I am feeling much better.
We have several online friends who are adopting and we get so excited to see more children finding homes ... A family we know is in Serbia now adopting their 3d down syndrome son... and he is a cutie. She actually is advocating for some other special needs children so if you are interested email me and I will share more. At the least please pray for them. Another family who was linked to their blog returned home with 2 special needs children and their daughter has a heart condition and needs prayers as well for her health.
Luke is doing wonderful . You would not even know he had surgery... What an amazing healer and overcomer he is. I took Mya to her yearly appt. with her neurologist at Hopkins... the one who diagnosed her polio. He noticed for the first time that her r arm was also affected by the polio... He said he could not believe it. She was weaker in that arm and it looks smaller just like her l leg does. She is going to Dr. Standard for a follow up to help her maximize her ability to walk. So the neurologist brought out a walker and she did beautifully with it. We have Luke's old walker and she has been trying it and is able to walk longer amounts with it. She actually takes off fast with it on a straight way... :) Watch out world here she comes.... :)
