Busy house

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. It is not that I don't have much to report, it is just the time to report it! In addition I have misplaced our USB cable for our camera and I kept wait to write a new post when I had pictures to post. Since I can't find the cable, I might as well write about our goings on. We are knee deep in soccer for both Aidan and Cian. It is going well for both of them. This is Cian's first year and he is loving it. The two of them couldn't be more different when it comes to sports. Cian smiles the entire time and is very aggressive towards the ball. Aidan was so shy and timid at this age (different story now), so it is funny to watch Cian's experiences. We decided to hold off on club swimming for Aidan right now. He has enough extracurricular activities to keep all of us busy right now. Maybe in January we will re-address that.

School is moving along well for all the boys. Fintan loves preschool, but at the same time he is happy when it is not a school day. Good thing he gets to enjoy both worlds for the next two years. Cian is our biggest surprise with school. He never liked preschool the past two years. He would go and not put up (too) much of a fight, but he would also love it when it was a "stay at home day." This year he wants to be a school all the time. He has even been upset a few Saturdays to learn it wasn't a school day. We are very relieved that he is happy at school. Aidan continues to love school as he always had. He is active in soccer and boys scouts right now. Basketball will start before we know it, I'm sure.

Maeve continues to do well. She continues to emerge from her shell every day. We keep thinking she is "all out," then every week we see her do something else that tells us she is continuing to open up. It is great to see!

Well that is all for now. Hopefully I will get some pictures loaded soon. Until next time...

Love Without Boundaries



We just signed up to be sponsors for a little boy in China. Love without Boundaries is a great program helping orphaned children in China while they are waiting for loving adoptive homes. Click on the picture above and take a look around their site!
