October is here

Today marks 8 months since Kylee has joined our family and I am still in wonderment at how far we have all come. I still remember the first few weeks thinking how will I ever communicate with my daughter that doesn't speak our language or understand our culture. Then the days start blending into weeks and those weeks become months and the next thing we know it is almost a year later and it is like she has been with us since birth. She is such a sweet child, we love her so much!

Mia is doing great in school, she is Student of the Month and her picture is proudly displayed in the school cafeteria. Mia loves school and loves learning new things everyday -- her teacher is delighted with her. She is also enjoying soccer and scored the first goal for her team this past game - Yeah, Mia!!!!!

We are beginning to see evidence that fall is here, the leaves are starting to turn different shades of red, gold and orange. The girls wore sweaters for the first time yesterday since it was only in the 50s - burrrrrrrrrrrrBut by the afternoon we had the perfect 70s weather and headed to the park to see Sadie (Mia's classmate from last year).

We have many birthday celebrations this month:

Uncle Wayne

Our precious Mia will turn 6!
