First 4th of July

Andrew on his Like a Bike.

Kathlena's first go-cart ride. She liked it except for the
grasshoppers pelting her as they rode. In this pic. they are
studying one that hung on!

J.Michael catching up on his Wii skills.

Twin baby goats born today.

Andrew holding one of the newborns. He loved their soft
fur. Kathlena was climbing out of the back at first then she
eventually touched its tail and giggled.

Yellow watermelon...first time to try it and he loved it.

Thank you cousin Clint...it was a hit!

Kathlena taking out the trash. This girl loves to clean up!
She is a great little helper.

Playing Golf with Daddy

Oops! still working on the potty training...the green just
got a little greener!




Well Andrew and Kathlena had a great first 4th of July. They loved the fireworks...Andrew would say "more, more". They both did well on their first road trip since they have been home with us. Andrew thought we were going by plane at first but he enjoys car rides as he gets to see so many new things. We took the country route through Bryan, TX heading to Hillsboro, Tx where my parents live. We all had a fun time playing golf, go-cart riding, wii, grilling, petting goats and visiting with family.

Andrew and Kathlena got to meet their extended family that has been watching and loving them through this blog. It was so great to hear the stories from family of them following our journey through the blog. Some even waiting 2hrs for video to load on their computer but said it was worth every minute. Wow! we are so grateful and blessed to have such a big family and humbled by your prayers and love for our whole family. Andrew and Kathlena have lots of great aunts and uncles, 2nd and 3rd cousins, and a great grandmother too. I know one thing is for sure they knew that all of these people were very excited to see them!
