Week 2 in the USA!

                                          THE ROOMIES
                                           Kell and Burke

This week Kell went to the pediatrician for his check up (more like "check in", really).  He did great and even had a little fun...he always does.  He was brave getting shots.... 
...4 of them!  When you're that brave, you get a sucker AND a popsicle!  He charmed the office staff greatly!  Even gave a big "thank you" when we left.  Not to brag about my genious son, but he knew all the letters for his eye exam...that's right, all 26!
We got him all registered for school and took the tour.  He went straight for a desk and started looking and listening.  He is quite anxious to start school.  We may try it next week.  It's a short week and he will get a little taste before school starts again in January.  His English?  Well, it just blows me away!  He's putting together simple sentences.  All that's required for a sentence is a subject and predicate, a noun and a verb...right?   No fancy adverbs or conjunction junction yet, but very soon!  But he does have lots of adjectives..."pretty",  "he's so cool", "your so cute", "sweet boy", "special boy"...all the things said to him.
Mills turned 12 this week and here he is with our sweet friend Anna after their cotillion Holly Ball.

Kell loves to watch Burke's basketball team and to play basketball with the boys on the driveway.  Trampoline still trumps in his play world.                                                                                 Kell thinks Jack is so cool!  He loves to ride with him in his big black truck!

This is short because it is way time consuming having this new "baby".  He is worth every second!  I cannot tell you how awesome he is!  I hope most of you will soon find out for yourselves.  Be ready to be charmed!  We are going to try to get some shopping done.  15 days out and we are still at haven't even started!  Yikes!!

  1. Shannan ~ I am enjoying your blog so much! I asked Burke about his new brother on Saturday and he was all smiles telling me about him! I hadn't told Mason about Kell so I filled him in and he was just amazed that Burke had a new brother all the way from China!
