We are settling into a routine and transitioning to a family of four kids is getting easier every week.  It has been such a joy to watch Eli and Ben's relationship grow closer.  Ben really does love him now and their little fights seem more like normal sibling stuff.  We have stayed pretty busy around the house with small projects and with some fun outings.  Eli is doing great sharing his time with me and Daddy and has really warmed up to his Grandma and Papa too!  We were busy a few weeks ago with doctor appointments to get Eli all checked out since we didn't really know much about his medical status prior to coming to us.  We are excited to say everything has checked out well!

Here's Ben perched atop the giant pile of rocks that became a dry creek bed in our yard.  This kept him quite busy for several days doing his "hard work" as he likes to call it. 

After much debate about sending Ben to preschool versus not sending him, we have decided to keep him home this year.  We are working on a little preschool curriculum at home and he (mostly) is enjoying it!

 Love spending my mornings home with these crazy guys!

First little sickness for Eli.  Luckily, it only lasted about 24 hours.
