Annie and Bethany have both started school. Annie seems to like 2nd grade so far. Bethany was quite disappointed that kindergarten started a few days after the rest of the school (you can see how she felt in the picture above). She kind of had a tough week, partially because there are no naps in kindergarten! Big change there. Below is Bethany on her first day.
Well, no progress to report on our LOA. We are at day 67 so hope we hear something very, very, very soon. We were blessed this week with some new pictures of Jack and some info from a man who was visiting the orphanage to help install a water purification system. He was able to meet Jack and called him a wonderful, active little boy! He also got some video and will be sending us a DVD once he is home in the States. And by the way, he said Jack is eating some hard candy in this picture!
Today was the annual Heritage Adoption Services picnic and although poor Charlie had to work, the girls and I got to see lots of old and new friends. There were kids there from the same orphanages as all our kids. It still amazes me that these kids come thousands and thousands of miles and end up living just a few miles from each other.
One of my very favorite Yahoo groups is for families whose children were all on the same Waiting children list and two of the families from that group were at the picnic. One family we had not met before. We got a picture of all the kids together--with Bethany holding a photo of Jack. Next year he will be there in person!
