Slacker.

I am a huge slacker - i have not posted anything since July 1? and now it's almost September? I really do suck at this....here's a quick summary of July and August...
Jimmy and Rhonda were married on July 7. That's Seven-Seven-oh-Seven for those of you wondering! We are all very happy they have found each other. Connor was the ring bearer, and oh-so-adorable!!!!

The Guy twins were born on July 20, much to everyone's joy and consternation. They were 10 weeks early, but the cutest little things i've ever seen! They have been in the NICU since then. Isabella and Caden are thriving and improving every day. April and Sean hope to have them home within a few weeks! We'll all be celebrating like crazy!

In adoption land, we wait. And wait. And wait some more. The referral timelines for Vietnam are getting longer and longer, though nowhere close to China's. We still hope to be home with Kamryn this year, and that's a pretty reasonable hope at this point. And in China, things are moving along at a snail's pace....actually, slow even for snails. Our best "guesstimate" now is November 2008. And each month it gets pushed out even more. It's absolutely nuts, and i thing everyone we know probably thinks on some level that Bri and I are making the whole thing up!

Brian has started his own business! Although we are NOT Simpson & Simpson (yet), he will be working out of our Flower Mound office and will practice in the areas of Wills, Estates and Trusts, Business Formation and Litigation, Contracts and a teensy bit of Family Law. It's fun to have him in the office - I'm sure he thinks there's too much estrogen there. Just wait until our baby girls get there!!!

CONNOR IS IN KINDERGARTEN!!! Long story short, everyone at Primrose believed he could succeed in Kindergarten a year early. It was an easy decision after he told be that suggesting he go to Kindergarten was "the best idea you've ever had, Mommy!" He's thriving! There has been a visible and quite dramatic shift in him, just in the first week. He's very proud to be in the "big" class, and quite content to have left all the "babyness" behind in Pre-K. He has adjusted VERY well, and so has Brian. I'm still watching and analyzing every word and emotion he has for signs of trouble. None so far, and I think that's the way it will stay. He has found his little place in the K class, and his confidence is really on the rise. We are quite proud, can you tell? He really is an amazing little boy -- wise beyond his years, with a sweetness in his soul that i have only seen in one other person on the planet, his Daddy. And cute as can be!

Oh, and he's offered to change "all the diapers" and "feed the baby sisters all the time" and "give them all their baths" and "read them Princess bedtime stories EVERY night". He also says he "loves them so, so, so, so, so, so, much !"

So Labor Day weekend is upon us, and we're headed to the Lake House for a little R&R. Just like every other trip we take, we think, "next time Kamryn (or Keira) will be with us". The holidays are just around the corner, and there had better be a little girl in our lives by then! We always say, "by this time next year, our family will be complete....". Maybe 2007 will be a start. Maybe by 2010 everyone will be home. A girl can dream, right?
