Life is so unexpected and wonderful. As we continue to mourn the loss of our special C, we received a few calls about more children. We now have 2 brothers with us. X is 4 and A is 21 months. They arrived last week and we have spent the past week getting acquainted with each other, learning new routines and playing. Jack was at camp when the boys arrived so the first 5 days I spent with them alone.
They are very, very busy boys. We are trying to bring a little structure into their lives and get them away from the television and into some more productive and educational activities.
X is a huge fan of dinosaurs, we attempted to go to the Museum of Nature and Science on Sunday only to be disappointed when the power was out and we were turned away, he was a great sport about it and we will make another attempt next weekend. We were able to have our picnic by the lake though.
We begin the round of doctor’s appointments at the end of the week. Thankfully Jack will be able to attend a few of them.
We have had such kind and encouraging words over the past few weeks. We are so blessed to be surrounded by so many loving friends and family.
Best,
Melinda and Jack
