Summer's over and back to school

Well, summer is over once again and soon the leaves will be turning and another season will be upon us. Time does go by so fast and these girls are really growing up. Everyday is a new adventure for them and for us as parents. It is so different this time around with raising our second family. It was such a struggle raising the other 4 . Little time and very little money. Life has really blessed Robin and myself and we count our blessing everyday. The girls both love going to school and we are keeping them active after school also. Addison is taking Piano lessons and they are both in Hip Hop dance class. They are also both starting in a Chinese dance class so they will be able to preform for Chinese New Year. They have become so close and get along very well. Addison started school a week before Ali and boy was Ali lost without her sister. Addison tells us stories all the time of her life at the orphanage and it is really sad to think that there are still children living the way that she did. The other day I was trying some new jeans on her that I had bought her for school and I commented to her on how big she was getting. She became sad all of a sudden and said to me, "I don't want to get big and grow up because, I want to stay here with you". People ask us all the time why we adopted after our kids had grown up. All I can say is what could we have done in our life that would have been any more rewarding then giving these two girls a loving family.
