Well McKenna had a great first day of school. We have a picture but it is on moms cell phone and she cannot figure out how to transfer it. Yes, younger sister accidentently broke the camera. So we will have photos eventually. She really likes her teacher but will have a sub for a month, her teacher had a baby. They both seem really nice and if the sub stays for the year then she still has a great teacher.
Marielle missess big sister and wants to go to school to but she is still to young and mommy usually does not put kids in preschool until the year before Kindergarten. So she has a few years to wait as soon as she is potty trained she can start gymnastics though.
House continues on and looks good, I went and walked around the backyard and it is going to be great and we have a great view from our deck that won't ever be obstructed. So we will get pictures of that someday also. House is supposed to be done by Christmas so we will see how things go.

Last Week Before School Starts
Well we received really good news at Marielle's doctors appointment last week. The murmur is "innocent" and should resolve on its own. There is nothing structurally wrong with her heart.
We are winding down our summer. We LOVE nine month school here, McKenna is thriving in the new school. We are not looking forward to the bus as it comes about 15 minutes early and 15 minutes later. The bus stop is at a new place so I am hoping that the same kids are on it this year as she has some really good friends. I will take her the first day of school as usual, her in the Clark County school system you have to drop off kids in their school line and CANNOT go into the class, so I always wonder why she wants me to take her and pick her up but I do it. But the second day she has to do the bus as they have to get the count down.
We had another walk through but the house has not sold. We still have three or four families wanting to rent and I can here the phew in their voice when no one offers. Our new house should have the framing start this week sometime, so we will be updating the site soon.
This week will will have fun times full of swimming and bowling. By the way bowling ball and chemistry sets are what someone is asking for her birthday. She wants a shuffle and Nintendo stuff for the big toy day of the year. Little one wants DIEGO and Princess things. As with all kids the night before a new thing will pop up and a mad dash to sold out will occur. LOL. Not really but one year a few years back a mad dash for BUZZ Lightyear was met with closed and SOLD OUT.

Updated Pictures
The first picture is the cement slab which was poured today so the weekend it will be drying.
The second pictures is showing the backyard. It will probably look small to most people but for this area we will have a nice area. For family it is a little bit deeper than our current yard but probably feel shorter from the sides.
Update on House
They poured the foundation today. Haven't been able to get pictures today because everything was blocked off.

School Letter
Well we have the official letter for school and McKenna is excited. Boy oh boy do school supplies add up. UGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Just spent waaayyy to much money at Walmart even. But she is set for the year. Had to dip into Daddys money so he is not to happy. I guess I may be returning stuff. Or mommy will be taking cans of soup her next few work days.
WE have one excited little girl to go to school.
She is excited to go to the science life lab to see the snake.

REFLECTIONS
Well two years ago at this time we had just received our referral for our little one from CHINA. Little did we know that we would be the last of the six month referral groups in a long long time. That China would change requirements and so plans for another adoption would have to be revamped.
Jump ahead our little hurricane is here and makes her presence known.
Mommy has just been sick but is better. I think it is a July 29th thing all the time for mommy to get sick.
On the homefront our new house is now officially under construcion YEAH. I need to download picasa again to upload photos and when I do everyone can see the progress that is being made.
We have had my nephews here for the past few weeks and have LOVED having them here especially M who has not been bored.
We had planned to go back to Ohio for the annual shopping trip BUT life got in the way again and little M has to go to doctor to have her heart checked out. Her regualr doctor heard something and so off we go.
School will be starting soon and the daily pictures and fashion show will once again be loved by GRANDMAS.
Other than that I have just got to get into being a regular blogger.
