First week alone!

I know it has been almost 2 weeks since I updated everyone. Well things are going good. My mom left a little over a week ago so I have been on my own and I think I am doing a good job at it. I took Stephen to the pool several times last week and he enjoys the pool very much. The first day we went with Kristen and Peter to their family pool. He just loved it. Next day we went with Aunt Jo, Isabel and Jacob. Isabel and Jacob played with him in the kiddy pool a lot. They wanted him to watch them dive off the diving boards. We went and watched but I don’t think he really could see them; too many people at the pool. Then Dad got to come with us to the pool on Saturday. Stephen loved having his Dad in the water with him. We had a meeting today with a group called “Help Me Grow”; they will help us evaluate how far behind Stephen is and what we can do to help him out. We will have many more meeting with their doctors.

Drew and I realized over the weekend that we painted Stephen's bedroom in Kazakhstan flag colors. What is weird about that is we painted his room before we had even thought to adopt about 2 years before. We are looking at building him a couple of toy boxes now and are going to paint them definetly but in Kazakhstan colors.

We are heading down to Columbus on Sunday for the holiday. It will be a really long day. We are planning on seeing both sides of the family. It will be an interesting weekend; I will let you know how it goes.

How cool that you ;painted his room that way before you really knew that you were going to Kazakhstan to get him!
Sounds like you are doing so well and settling in as a family.
