Sorry we haven't been blogging much. We're all trying to get into the swing of things as a family of four, and it's been an adjustment. That's not to say it's been really bad or anything, just different and we're all learning.
Daniel is learning and growing in many ways. He's counting to 8 in English, picking up new words each day, and understanding a lot of what we're saying. We give him little tasks throughout the day (throw this in the trash, take your shoes to your room, etc.) and he's learning a lot that way as well.
He loves sleeping in his bed, playing with his big brother, trying all kinds of new foods, listening & dancing to music (especially Toby Mac), riding in the power wheel jeep with William, and working with play-do.
Please continue to pray for us as we work to teach Daniel what it means to be part of a family. This is all so very new to him, but we think he's starting to catch on!

We have been so encouraged by seeing how Daniel just seems to fit right into your family :) We realize its not necessarily easy but you hear so many negatives about adoption that it really is wonderful to see just how positive it can be.
Those first weeks and months require many adjustments -- for everyone. I'm sure you're doing really well, but it's still a lot of change.
Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!
We miss you guys but we are thrilled to see that everything is going well at home! We are so thankful that we got the time that we did with you. We are blessed to be able to call you friends!
