Summer Week 4

Well this one went by fast.  I think it helped that we had Matt home a few days and got to be all together again.  We had a fun 4th with Matt's family and the kids especially enjoyed the firecrackers Matt got.  We did some in the day with everyone and a few at night, just with the older 3 kids at our house.  The kids are all about the radio these days and included music blaring from our front porch to add to the fun of the show.  Gray was particularly into the fireworks, with a special obsession with the names of them and his rank of each one.  The rest of the week passed in a bit of a blur--a little pool time, a lot of organizing and cleaning, some games and cooking with the kids, getting ready for the Mussers' return Sunday, and we did have our post adoption social worker visit, which was quick and easy.  We've got the new dishwasher delivered, which Matt will bravely install tomorrow, and we're ready for Week 5, which will bring us camps for Joshua and Julia, a visit from cousin Jackson (on my side), and Allie's 2nd birthday.  Bring it on!
