I can't believe it has been over six months since I last blogged...so much has changed! Sorry for falling off the earth, let me take a few moments to play a little catch up.
I kept coming back to this post and adding, and then getting distracted and walking away again....so I'm just going to post...sorry for the hecticness of it.
We have moved back stateside and moved into our new house on the first of August and our son Eli was born on August 24th 2013. Thankfully my Mom made it just in time for the little guy to arrive. He's been a great joy in our lives and keeps us busier then ever. He is now 4.5 months, just got his first teeth, and is growing out of his 9 month clothes.
Gergana and George are thriving. We've celebrated their first birthdays with our family, our first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, they started a new school year and are both in regular classrooms and thriving, and they are growing more and more every day. Gergana is in 1st grade this year and her teacher is awesome. She has grown so much and is writing her words and communicating more. George is in Kindergarten and his teacher is a perfect match for him. He can identify his letters and all numbers up to 10. He's starting to talk more and showing us something new he can do every single day.
I started writing this post back in November - and never finished it...finding a spare moment where I am not holding a baby, running to therapies or the school, cleaning, cooking, helping with homework etc. is hard to come by. I want to keep up with this blog more, and am going to try to make it more of a priority - even if it is just for a picture or two. Here's a few from there first year home...
