Long time no post















On the way to the pool with Gramma


Yes, I've sunken to very bad blogger status. I don't know that we've been all that busy, just moving on with everyday life. Anna is doing great, her vocabulary is blossoming, and she is growing....just slowly. She is now 34 inches tall and 25 lbs at just shy of 3 yrs old. She has qualified for free preschool thru our school district, which will save me about $450/month so I figure that helps with some of the adoption costs! And, it really is a wonderful preschool (a 5/1 ratio) and is actually at the elementary school that Dylan goes to....so great all the way around. She really was just barely outside of the "normal" range and I thought she would just qualify for the group speech classes, but they felt she would benefit from both so we'll take it. I'm so happy we're in a great school district. It'll be 4 days a week, 3 hrs a day and they don't care that she's not potty trained. That's a project for later, mommy's not ready yet. She'll start in August and I think she's really excited about starting school. We've been enjoying Disneyland, Gymboree, the river, and Dylan's little league season wrapping up. Her progress amazes me. Do I still worry that we will encounter problems later? Yes. Does it consume me the way it did those first few months....absolutely not.

The kids look so happy together! That is awesome about the pre-school and with her big brother there I bet she will like it even better.
