We're doing great! I'm finally feeling better and have the house running smoothly again. That makes a huge difference. The first week home, I was sleeping most of the day due to some sort of parasite/bacteria/flu. I would just look around at all that needed to be done, and then hold the babies and rest. Thankfully my mom was here during that time and she was a HUGE help. I don't know how we would have done it without her. Also, Sean only worked half-days, so there were extra hands at all times.
We are just so in love. Malachi is winning over our hearts and getting sweeter every day. Now he comes up and grabs our faces to give us kisses. And he's probably down to 2-3 tantrums a day, which is an unbelievable improvement from our first week together. He is so happy at home, and when we go out (even just in the front yard) he puts up a wall. His pouty lip comes out and he won't let you know he's having any fun. We're just so thrilled that he's coming out of his shell, and bonding so well with us.
Ava is just the most precious angel I've laid eyes on. I really am in heaven. She is perfection to me right now. Today I was wishing I could just bottle her up at this age forever, so that I could enjoy her baby stage a little longer. She is so funny, always doing tricks. Whatever face you make at her, she tries to mimic. She started waving yesterday, and is just fitting right into our family. Whenever she fusses, big sister is quick to scoop her up. She has slept through the night the last 2 nights, and Malachi too. They're now taking naps, and sleeping about 11 hours at night. Woohoo! This is too good to be true.
Our friends are bringing us meals right now and that has been a huge blessing. We've just been able to love on the kiddos, introduce them to all kinds of new things, like swinging, swimming, popscicles, wrestling with Daddy, cuddling with Mommy. It's been so nice to just BE. Thank you to all who have served us, and for all of you praying. God is faithfully providing His grace for each moment.
Sean goes back to work tomorrow, so it will be a true taste of my new life. I'll let you know how it goes.....

What a wonderful post! Glad to hear things are settling in! I had that flu/virus thing when we came home in Nov. 2007...whew...it's bad! So glad you are feeling better!
I'm so glad to hear everything is going well with all four of your precious kiddos! Let us know the next time you are in Texas!
Such a wonderful, exciting time for your sweet family! I know you guys have prayed and waited so long for this day. Praying for smooth adjustments for each of you! - Tori (Campbell) Rieger
It is so neat to see the "fruits of your labor". Your children are beautiful. 2 adopted toddlers must be difficult. But so worth it! I will be looking to you and others for guidance when we bring our toddler home someday. We don't have a referral yet. Hopefully soon! Blessings!
Oh I wish I could be there as a fly on the wall! Praying for little man Malachi. So excited he is making such strides in such a short period of time. Can't wait to love on all four of them.
