We're still here!!!!!

I apologize for leaving all of my friends and family hanging since Christmas. My time on the computer has been very limited. We have also had ear infections sinus infections vertigo etc... run through the house. Now we are all healthy again and up and running. I have always heard adding the 3rd child was a challenge and they were correct. It is getting better everyday and some days I wonder if we will all survive until bedtime, but I can reflect back on the last 2 weeks and see the 4th man in the firey furnace with me! Zacariah and Zoe get along so sweetly 97% of the time and they are so cute together dancing and singing and drawing together. I can't wait to see how close they get when he understands her and she understands him. Zebidiah and Zachariah well they get along half of the time. I so wish I could wave a magic wand and get past this language barrier. It would make everything so so much easier. I know it will take some time, but it doesn't bring much comfort when trying to muddle thru the hard days. I can't wait to see everything fall into place for Zac and we really come together as a unit. We are now getting bedtime down and sleeping in our bed, Thank You GOD. Food is still a bit of a challenge but we are getting there and Zac is trying new things. The house is slowly getting back into order yeah!!!! Next is the Drs visits and evaluations tests etc.. for Zac to get on his way to walking properly and having his other things repaired. He is hugging and kissing ( then wiping off the kiss the stinker) and telling me when he has pain or discomfort. Zac is comming along really at a rapid rate all things considering.

God has brought us so far in the last weeks months and years. Who would have thought in December of 2003 when we decided to push through the fear of never having children and No one willing to allow us to parent that we would see 3 beautiful children join our family in just over 3 years? Zoe's 4 yr family day being the 24th of Jan, Zeb's 2 yr on Mar 20th and Zacs adoption day is the day we received Zoes referral on Dec 12th of 08. Each child brings to our table something different Zoe brings Faith and unconditional Love, Zeb is happy and has such a wonderful sense of humor and is so so fun, I am not sure what Zac is bringing us but I do know he has a strength about him. He has overcome so much in his 5 yrs. I also think he is a worshipper. His 1st american song he sings is God I come to give you praise. I was watching Kim Clement the other morning and they were singing and I was so blessed to see this little guy raising his hands and repeating the song word for word perfectly! Oh and he can dance! This child has some serious rhythm. We can dance and dance and he can move for a child with hips out of wack and a leg twisted and shorter by 6 inches you should see him go. It make my heart soar to watch him. Zac has come along way from the little boy who fought for his life to not come with 2 total funny looking strangers.

I want to also post to my Step Father of almost 20 years Howard, my deepest condolenses and apologies for the loss of your Dad. I can not imagine the grief you all are feeling and so wish it was possible for the kids and I to be there for you and Grandma. We all send huge hugs to you all if you read this. We Love you and hope to see you soon.

Say a prayer for us tommorrow morning as I take both boys to the peditrician alone!!! Zoe is going to work with Grandma Meme tommorrow and gets to help pretend she has a job!!! Ha ha. She asked if she gets to work the cash register? Ah girls start young don't they?

I know this has gotten way longer than I intended so until next time.
