We're all doing fine here except for the colds that have been hanging around for over a week now. We had our first post placment meeting with the social worker. She watched Chloe and asked us lots of questions. She write a long report which will be sent to our agency, translated into Russian and snt to Russia. We do another one when Chloe's been home for 11 months, then another at 2 years and the final one when she's been home for 3 years. She'll be 4 1/2. It seems like that is a long way off, but I know it will be here before we know it.We've been very busy getting the house ready to put on the market. I showed the kids the pictures of the house on the website that I put together and Wyatt said, "That doesn't look like our house." So, I went to the next page of pictures and he still insisted that it didn't look like our house. So, I finally asked what looks different. He waves his hand over the picture and says, "Look, it's all clean. That's not what it looks like." I had to laugh because he is exactly right.
Jake was asked recently how he know that God is a man. He quickly replied "God's a man's name." Hehe. You know, Doug, Bob, God... MAN names.
This is a perfect example of the boys loving Chloe. She's saying, "No, Wyatt, Jakey, NO." She likes them to play with he and be close by and they like to snuggle, touch and cuddle her like she's a puppy.




We started the weekend by decorating eggs. It was just the kids and I since Justin was out of town for the day. Chloe decided that she should lob the hard boiled eggs across the table. This was very unlike her, but she was bound and determined that she should do it, so after 3 eggs she was done. Jake was very sad that three of his broke and he had little funerals for them. Wyatt just really, really liked the feel of them and has broken several since decorating them. I think next year we'll paint rocks. Haha.
On Saturday we visited with the the Phillips family and Chloe got to play with Justin's cousin's baby who is 8 months younger. Here they are in their first face to face meeting.
Justin's Grandpa Pete got to meet Chloe for the first time. Here's all three kids with their only living great grandpa. These 3 three lucky kids have 8 grandparents, 4 great grandmas and 1 great grandpa. Wow!
This morning they were very excited about their Easter baskets and enjoyed hunting for eggs.
Here's the best picture of Chloe's outfit. It was so much fun to get her all dressed up. The boys were very good sports about dressing up. It's not their favorite thing.
They were also very good in church this morning. Everytime the congregation is told to please stand, Chloe would say, "Kay." very loudly and hop to her feet, it was so funny.
This week was also a very big week for the Bucys. Jay and Erica had their baby on the 4th. I'll be posting all the info as soon as they email me a picture.
