I've ever hated winter so much as this year. I actually started to
check out schools and housing in Tucson, AZ. Joe thought I was kidding
but I wasn't! It's better now but the idea is still there:)
We've turned the corner on our little family. Lillian has calmed down
regarding whether Margaret is going back or not. For a while, she was
ready to drive her to the airport and put her on a plane. We explained
that we are a family and no one 'goes back'. Pretty important I think,
for adopted kids to hear that and believe it. Now, it's just the
regular sibling rivalry, something less dramatic, mostly:) I've turned
the corner as far as having two kids instead of one. Starting to
realize the noise is just part of the deal. Joe seems to like the
chaos but he would, 10 sisters and all. Margaret is really starting to
bloom, becoming very silly and also singing all the time. She has the
cutest little voice, at least when she sings not screams. We had
Margaret's birthday and baptism all the same weekend. It was a fun
party.
