What's Up?!

     Well, I like the idea of keeping in touch and whatever route helps, I'm in.  We are enjoying Alex being out of school for the summer.  He was MIA for about 9 months, so it's lovely having him here.  It's weird to have to adjust to involving your spouse in your daily life again, but nice. 
     Mia and Lucy are growing so fast it's ridiculous.  They are both taking gymnastics and loving it.  Mia has her first dance recital in the middle of June.  Lucy is the funniest child I have ever met, and Mia is so smart. 
     Our other 3 are doing good.  They are resilient, and they have fit right into our family.  It is an interesting life to jump into parenting school age kids when your oldest is 4, but I think we are doing pretty good.  Mukiya (10) was in park and rec soccer and loved it.  It was her first time and she proved to be a fast learner. Her season finished last Saturday and she's asking to join another team already.  Kilynn (9) is improving in school everyday.  It's really nice to see her enjoying school, which seemed an impossible feat 5 months ago.  Alaysia (15) is bonding with her biological father, and we foresee her living with him sooner than later.  It's a real blessing for her and him, especially given their past.
      That pretty much is our life right now.  Signing off!
