Good Stuff

Megan's first oatmeal chocolate chip cookie is a hit!



Our neighbor's birthday party.




Mary Alice made this beautiful pillow for Megan to take camping.


The kids are excited about our upcoming camping trip!

Root Beer Float



I realized that the camera was on the wrong setting when I took this video, so it's a little grainy, but it is still pretty cute!

Pigtails!

Last night I was looking at Megan's hair and I thought "hmmm, might just be long enough to try pigtails". I suggested we try and Megan's eyes lit up. She was thrilled with the results! She ran downstairs to show Dah-Dah, Mare-Mare and Matt-Matt, and even our neighbors, next door!


This is a "top view" of her hair.
We are clipping her nails. If she has the tiniest little snag, she lets me know!


These videos are more sign language. Mary Alice is working with her.

Amazing Progress!

News Flash!!

Today Megan Ling went to the bathroom completely on her own (said "right back!") THREE TIMES!!!

WOW! Good Job, Megan. Considering 3 weeks ago she couldn't even get herself ONTO the toilet. That's amazing.

A busy weekend

We had more friends for dinner on Saturday night. Megan was thrilled with Katie's hair and combed it to perfection. Over and over and over!


As usual, she loved them all!

Katie, Jen, Wara
Ken & Maria

Wara and Maria were both adopted from Africa at the age of 7; Wara 6 years ago and Maria 8 years ago.


Megan loves to work with her hands. This Lego set has a screwdriver and several of the pieces can be tightened down. She works for a really long time at this!


This adorable baby bunny visited us in our front yard. It was eating the flowers and enjoying them!


One of our Monarch's hatched yesterday. The other will probably hatch tomorrow.


Mary Alice finally allowed her picture to be taken. Megan actually took this. She is quite the photographer!
