Catching Up

Now that my life is somewhat under control (Ha!) Here's a quick synopsis on what's been going on:

- Last week I was at a huge conference in San Francisco which was fun. Not only did I get a night out at the "appreciation event" which included a concert including Psychedelic Furs, Seal, and Elvis Costello (the other choice was Gin Blossoms, Alan Jackson, and UB40). But, my best friend from grade school actually recognized me and so we now have each other's contact info. How great is that. I'm really amazed that she recognized me and hope I've changed since 8th grade (about 25 years ago!). Even though I was able to stay at home in my bed, commuting into the city each day was exhausting and am glad to be back at my desk this week.

- The child got another cold this weekend. Luckily this one wasn't too bad, but he's really great about telling us when he's "sick" by pointing at his nose and saying "sick". I hate that he has a cold, but just think it's adorable how he's able to let us know.

- Andrei's really talking a lot more enough that others will notice. He's up to 3-4 word sentences and actually tells a story that makes sense to Steve and me. His articulation needs some improvement, but he's moving right along.

- Our one year post-placement visit is coming due. I can't believe that it's been almost a year since we made our court trip. We're busy gathering pictures and the other information our homestudy agency

Speaking of one year, here's a picture of Andrei trying on his snowsuit. When we picked him up, this was big on him and now it barely fits. We're amazed at how much he's grown.

That's amazing that your friend recognized you! And pretty cool that you're back in touch.
