Joseph "Yoseph" had to get another cast on Monday-he was trying to itch his arm last weekend and pulled his cast over his hand and well let's just say that his fingers were turing blue b/c there was no circulation. Freaked out a little (me-not him), but he is fine and definitely won't do that again! The Dr. shared that next time he'll have to get a cast up to his shouder if this happened again-he got the picture and just asks for itch medicine now! We also celebrated his birthday last weekend with a few friends and he really enjoyed his first birthday in America! He loved his camera and is taking pics all the time! He is doing well in school and his English is really expanding! This week at dinner-he asked for "damaged" potatoes....AKA "mashed" potatoes-pretty smart connection!!
Alex "Fitamlak" is almost too smart for his own good! He picks up things so fast and has taken up "taking things apart"!! He was trying to make a remote control boat and took apart 3 different toys to take the engine out and yes his middle name is still "EASY"! Like a bull in a china shop! He loves school-this week he came home and told me all about solids, liquids and gases-full English explanation with examples-I was so impressed! He's trying lots of new foods and loves to buy lunch at school! His laugh is so contagious-makes me smile everytime I hear it!
The boys met Grandma and Grandpa this week (they came in from NY)-they really enjoyed it! They definitely understood who everyone was and loved the attention! We ate dinner last night at my parents and both ofthe boys said-"Grandma is a good cooker-like you mom!!" We laughed-roasted chickens (already cooked) from Walmart-can't beat it! Dad and the boys made a soccer goal today out of PVC Pipe-very cute to watch! They are learning all about Halloween and already have their costumes-we have a few things planned this weekend!
Getting late...enjoy the pics!!

Wow, it sounds like they are doing so great! Isn't it fascinating how quickly kids can adapt their language? We have a family in church from Eritrea who have been here a little over a year, and the kids amaze me w/ their english. Most of the time they don't even have an accent anymore!
Hi Lisa!! I have been so busy adjusting to our new little one, I haven't had time to read your blog. Got caught up tonight.
So happy for you and the boys!!! Sounds like things are going well except for Yosephs broken arm :(
Please tell him Kristine said hi. He may remember me as the lady who brought the mattresses to Hope. He wrote me a very sweet thank you note that I will always keep and treasure. You have a special young man there!
