It seems like so long since I have blogged. I actually had to read my last post to see where I left off. Sorry. We have just been extremely preoccupied... as you can imagine.

We had the boys' post adoption physicals as well as Marcus' Kindergarten Health Assessment for the fall school year. WOW! This was an experience. Shots and physicals for all 3 and me the only adult there to "contain" them and console them. This is very difficult when you have 3 screaming children who are in pain and only one person to try and calm them. I felt terrible and honestly didn't know what to do. I had tried to make an action "plan" if Marcus had to have shots, but in NO way prepared myself for what happened. Each one of them had to have blood drawn to do a complete blood work up on them AND each one had to have a shot. We have some really STRONG boys- both physically and emotionally! I pray I never have to hold my children down like that again...

We got our report back from our first post adoption social worker visit. When I read it- it was quite eye opening for me... They made us out to be super hero parents. lol. Guess this is good for our case! :) It was so amazing to see our story on paper and to ba able to sit down and read where we have been and where we are now. Put a smile on my face!

My mom came to NC for the 4th of July and let me just say- I LOVED IT! I got to relax and just enjoy her being here. Not sure how much relaxing she got in, the boys just love her! She played all day long-everyday with them! It was great to see them put a smile on her face! I love to see my children impact others in a way that they have impacted us. To see them play with someone who prayed for them LONG before they were placed with us- or even born for that matter! Also, it was amazing to see my mom interacting with the boys as she had done in my life. If she makes half the impact on them that she made to me, they will be so blessed!! I have  the world's GREATEST mom!

We are headed to the doctor again today... this time for Manuel. I am afraid he may have asthma and I am going to just to check it out. One would have thought that the goomba doctor who did their physical would have checked this, but NO! And I was so worked up over shots that I forgot to ask or mention anything about it. We are going to a DIFFERENT physician today! :D----> Happy Mommy!

Morris has an abscessed tooth- one of the ones that is going to have to be extracted anyways. He is the next on the list for the procedure to be worked in- since the doctor doesn't want to wait until September to do the procedure considering the pain he is in.

I am so thankful for all of the love and support everyone has shown to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This week may be tough for the boys, because Colby is in the field until Friday. Please keep us in your prayers!
