Surviving through another week...

Poor little Sophie had a bit of intestinal distress yesterday - let's just say there were a few diaper blowouts at daycare in the first few hours, so K had to go pick her up and bring her home. And just when I thought we were done with our horrible colds! After a diet of bananas, rice, and toast yesterday, she seems to be back to normal. Let's hope it stays that way since Grandma and Grandpap H are flying in tomorrow night! She's ready for them. When I ask what she's going to give them when they get here, she says "Beeg hug and beeg kees" (big hug and big kiss). Then, if you ask what we're going to do with grandma, she announces "bay cookies!" (bake cookies).

We hope to do some fun things while grandma and grandpap are here...hopefully some apple picking and a trip to a fair.

EJ was very excited after school today. She's apparently been chosen to work on a video project at school, and can hardly wait until next week's session! Tonight, her homework was to write about her family. She had a really cute line in it: "Well, Sophie wasn't my sister until May 28, 2007 (Family Day) when we adopted her from China and pretty much changed my life forever." I thought that was so touching! She's really enjoying school so far, as usual! She's also excited to be a bus buddy this year, which means when they call for her bus, she has to go to one of the kindergarten classrooms and get the students that ride her bus and escort them to it. She thinks that's a cool responsibility.
