Fun with Aunt Heather

We went to a indoor playground called MonkeyBiz.  The boys jumped and jumped and jumped...

Jonah didn't let the "over 3" on the big slide stop him.  You had to crawl through a tunnel, up a wall, through another tunnel, then up a huge wall and down the slide.  I know this b/c I did it with Jonah the first time, but after that he was all on his own.

Great grandparents- GG and Poppy

There's this great park close to my grandparents that we always try to take the boys.  This year they discovered the tire swing.   Jonah was laughing hysterically.  It's a little hard to capture the moment :)

Great Grandparents- GG and Gmac

Jonah plays golf with his bat.  I guess you can tell where we live :)

More rock climbing and throwing rocks in the creek.

Uncle Clay attempts to demonstrate how to throw paper airplane.

GG helps out too.

KC Zoo

We went to the zoo while in KC visiting everyone.  All Jonah wanted to see was kangroos and he got his wish.  It's apparently fun to climb rocks no matter where you are.  

This is Emma, one of Jackson's friends from KC.  Her class was at the zoo on a field trip and we ran into them.

Jonah sings!

Jonah loves to sing these days.  Here he is singing his version of the ABC's. Notice the "T, V, U". You'll have to pause my music off to the right.

Russia pics

I know its a long time coming, but all the Russia pics were on Clay's computer which he proceeded to drop about 2 days after we got home and then it was in the shop for a week.  Anyway, they finally got transferred to my computer.  There are much more pics on Clay's blog, so I didn't see any reason to post a bunch, but these are some of my favorites.  

She loved being held, though they kept telling me to put her down and play with her.  Not sure why they cared.  She also loved for Clay to push her around in this little tricycle thing.   If he stopped, she would start rocking, trying to get it moving herself.  You can see the little scrapbook we left with her.  It had  family pics that they are supposed to show her on a regular basis.  

Please continue to pray for us as we prepare for the 2nd trip.  We have been in the midst of a ton of paperwork that has not been easy to complete.  When we get it turned in then they will set our court date.  All the medicals are only good for 3 months, so pray they don't set it too far off or we will have to repeat everything.  And, obviously, we're really ready to bring her home. I think Jonah asks every day when "little sister" is coming home. Thanks for all the support, we are so blessed to have friends and family!

Big Move!

We moved the boys into the same room last weekend!  They're doing great.  There was a lot of talking and giggling the first couple of nights, but they're pretty settled in now and are loving it.  Jonah still asks every night if he gets to sleep in his "brand new bed" and if "bro bro is sleeping in the bunk".  Like some day we're going to move him back.
