What we have been up to in pictures...

We have been super busy at our household but that is nothing new!  Here are some of the highlights of what has been going on.

~Brianna was inducted into the National Honor Society.  We are so proud of her.  This was one of her goals and she worked hard to achieve it!

 ~  We had an Easter egg hunt at church.  The weather was gorgeous and Hunter, Claire and Caleb had a really good time!

~ We spent our Spring Break back home helping to take care of Grandpa while he undergoes his cancer treatments.  The kids got to spend time with my family as well.  My mom came and got the kids and kept them for a couple of days which was great especially since I got sick the night we arrived.  I had to get myself healthy quick so I could be around grandpa who was undergoing chemotherapy.

Here is grandpa with the gang!

~ While we were back home we spent the night at a hotel and let the kids swim.  Well...we intended to spend the night but after the pool fun and while we were getting ready for bed the fire alarm kept going off on our wing of the hotel.  Long story but we ended up checking out and going back to Grandpa's house.

~The day after we got home the school called and told me that Claire had fallen off the monkey bars and that she had hurt her shoulder.  After a trip to the ER we found out nothing was broken but she continued to have problems.  The next week, we took her to see an orthopedic surgeon.  Here we found out that she has a nerve issue.  We are waiting to see how she does in a couple of weeks but she has been sidelined from gymnastics for now.  We knew something wasn't right when she wasn't doing cartwheels and handstands constantly.  Hopefully she will be back to that very soon.

Well, that is what we have been up to in a nutshell.  Next on the agenda....PROM....and then the start of baseball season.

OH and the biggest news....we received our I797 approval today in the mail.  Oh yeah, we are getting closer to getting our dossier to China!!!!
