Gotcha Day...

Yes the kids have been with us one year as of the 20th...It's hard to believe that a year has flown by this fast. Our bond and love for each other grows every day! Both Kristina and John have grown about 4 inches and put on a few pounds in the last year. They both enjoy school and right now they are looking forward to Halloween. It took a few weeks to work John into his mask as he does not like his face covered, his mom has done a great job in working on this and he now puts on his Skeleton mask and examines himself in the mirror - not sure how long it will last during Trick or treating next Sunday...we'll see. Kristina got new wings from her gramma and grammpa for her Tinkerbell costume and is excited about wearing it outside to show all her friends. Last night was parent teacher conferences at school and both teachers asked us to come...if they don't want to talk then things are OK...we were a little worried but things were fine. All of Kristina's teachers continue to rave on how far she has come in the last year and they agree that once John gets a little more used to his teachers he too will blossom. He is a very open and playful child at home but in school it seems it is a different story...teachers say he is shy and quiet at times. We are sure he will break out of this shell once he is a little more comfortable.
