Riannon is doing well- she turned 11 mos. on Saturday & got her first 2 bottom teeth.. She took her first trip to the pumpkin patch w/ her brothers & friend Christian and had a blast....
She is rolling everywhere, sitting up very well, and beginning to "rock".... Maybe she'll crawl by her 1st birthday (though, we're not in any hurry :) I've started my half time position, teaching Wednesday, Thursday, and every other Friday... It's been very nice... I'm even going to help out in Grant's classroom next week- teaching a guided reading group w/ his teacher... I'm looking forward to that...We're getting ready to plan a double birthday party for Riannon & Brett next month...Grant is still playing flag football.. Pretty hectic schedule we're on, but I have to say everyone has adjusted really really well..... More later....

1 month home

I can't believe we've been home a month.. Riannon is doing very well.. She's adjusted to her new home, her brothers, all her relatives, and friends, and has finally gotten used to her doggie Bailey...The first few nights home were rough- she was pretty jet lagged. She sleeps through the night and has a pretty predictable schedule....She's becoming stronger and stronger and is always smiling (even in this picture after peas & rice) :-) So sorry I haven't posted in a while, but with 3 kids- 2 under 2 and a football playing 6 year old, our days are pretty late....
We went to a reunion picnic for Adoption Options
We meet the neatest people who are just starting the process, soon to be travelling, or just wanting info to make a decision...and of course the the children who have been home for a long time...Riannon worked the crowd quite well... We even got to see her friend Sam- from her orphanage...Amazing how much they change in a month..She's not crawling yet (but to be honest I'm in no hurry) :) and is starting to get her first tooth...Hopefully more later...
