Thankful Thursday (prayer request at bottom of post)

This Thankful Thursday I am thankful for..
~Updated pictures that we received from Korea!!! Our little guy is just adorable and I can't wait until I can show you his picture! We have almost all of the paperwork done for our home study and we are getting our fingerprints done on Monday. The kids have to have physicals and we have them scheduled for later this month. We are trying to have everything done so that once the physicals are done we can send everything to our home study agency. We've completed all of our education requirements already. Once we have an approved home study we can be officially matched and the countdown to Caleb can begin!!
~Summertime fun!!! Now that we are settled I finally feel like we can enjoy some normal summertime activities. We found a fun park nearby that has great play equipment, a pond, a creek that leads to the pond, and a lot of ducks and geese.

Claire is our little monkey. She loves to do the monkey bars and she is so strong!

Can you say "AFLAC"

Claire isn't crying, she was yelling because she thought they were leaving her behind!!

~Fun craft projects. Brianna and I have been having fun being somewhat crafty. We got a lot of the work done while the men of the house were working. Nicholas was mowing and Gary and Hunter were organizing the shed while Claire supervised. The boys want to be crafty too so we are on the look out for boy approved crafts! I, however, enjoyed the one on one time with Brianna while we worked on our projects.

This is a board we made for Claire. Since we are military we can't really measure the kids on a door or wall of our house so we decorate a fence post and measure them on it. We can then take the board with us when we move. Well, we finally got Claire's done and it turned out really cute. We even have her first measurement on it. She was so proud. Her full name is on the top, that is why I cropped the picture. :)

Brianna painted these for her bedroom wall..
These are the shirts Brianna and I are going to wear when we go to the Jonas Brother's concert on the 16th. They turned out really cute.

At the end of this thankful Thursday post, I have one small prayer request. Claire hasn't slept through the night since the move. She will play in her room all day long by herself but when it comes time for bed she freaks out and won't go to bed. If, she does happen to fall asleep in her room it usually only lasts until about 1:30 and then she is in our bed. However, she sleeps soundly if she is right in the middle of us, which we have been allowing. Gary does have to get up in the morning now that his classes have started and we just aren't sleeping very well with Claire's sleeping (or lack thereof) issues. We aren't sure what to try anymore. We have given up naps for her because if she naps she is up until the wee hours (the other night she was up until 1:00). I know this has been her first move with us and she has a lot to adjust to but we are at our wits end on how to get her to sleep. WE NEED SLEEP!!! So, your prayers and advice would be appreciated. Thank you!!
