Well, Arnold has been here for about a month and a half now, and it could have well been years as easily as he has adjusted to his new life and as well as he fits into our growing family! He really is doing remarkably well and as far as we can tell seems to be settling in very well to his new rules, expectations, routine etc.
Of course, there have been adjustments for all of us! The boys could wear anyone out, not to mention a very pregnant mama. They are full of life and energy, and sometimes just plain full of it! I love how all of the kids interact when they are behaving and being sweet, which really is most of the time. Ellie adores Arnold and he still lets her play with his ears if they are watchingtv together! The boys include her in whatever they are doing, and Kyler never asks to have friends over anymore. (He used to ask almost everyday!) Of course, they all enjoy spending time with their cousins and our other extended family and we have had many special moments together including Arnold's first Thanksgiving, gingerbread making, birthday celebrations, and most recently Arnold's first snow!
Arnold will be starting preschool after Christmas, but he is a little worried. He said he will be scared without his Daddy and Mommy there, but I suspect that he will do quite well once he is comfortable in his environment. Next year he will go to kindergarten and Kyler to preschool.
As for me... this very well could be my last post before we are a family of six! I have been neglecting the computer, which is better than neglecting my family, I am sure, but it does feel like my only connection to the outside world some days! Even now I sit here in our usual mid-day mess, thinking of all the things I should be doing in case I have to make an sudden trip to the hospital! At my recent appointment, it didn't seem as though Libby would be waiting until Christmas to make her appearance! Let's hope not!
Thanks for your continued love, prayers and support of our family! We hope to be a blessing to others in our lives, despite our busyness and our unpredictable lives!
