The kids just have been hanging out enjoying each other's time...absolutely no fighting here...or whining...
Just loving each other all the time.
Helping each other make rolls for Thanksgiving dinner.
Getting involved in making the bird. This turkey weighs more than our boy did when he first arrived at the orphanage.
I've also spent some time working with Sid on self-defense.
Unfortunately, Sophia was watching the lesson, and practiced it the first chance she got.
At about noon on Thanksgiving, I proposed to Korri that we should go to Spokane and visit family. We left just 5 hours later (leftovers neatly stored) and got there by 11:30. Jen and Rod and family were nice enough to let us stay with them on very short notice. Sid and Soph just love their kids, and we both think their kids will make great role models for ours...
...well, all kids have their moments right.
Shock and Awe.
Sophia, Eli, Rebecca, Michael, Sidota, and Isaac. We only had to try a few times to get them all looking in the same general direction.
We got to visit our friends Mark and Amy. Here, Soph and their son Evan pretend to take a nap. After knowing Evan for about 75 minutes, I know he has as much imagination already as I have gathered in a lifetime.
We got to see my brother and his wife for the first time since having the kids. Sid isn't totally convinced Chad is 100% safe. He later mentioned, "Uncle Chad is a pretty big guy."
But later, Sophia is hanging on every word of his story.
Getting a bit hard to believe now.
Okay, this guy is full of baloney, right Dad?
We also had time recently to go to a screening of the newest Veggie Tales christmas movie. The boys weren't into it at all.
Sophia and her friend Abby.
There were balloons there, and if we'd have let her, she would have stayed and played with it until she dropped.
We got snow the other day, once it finally warmed up enough to snow, and Sid has been enjoying it. I shoveled up lots of snow from our yard and piled it up on the little hill in our back yard.
