Life has been well for a lack of better words, crazy. We have some big changes on the horizon for the Powell crew and hence the absence from the blog. Stay tuned for more updates this week.

This week has marked a lot of playing inside due to really HOT days here. Mateo starts to get a little stir crazy when he doesn’t get to run outside. So being the good parents we are we have come up with a fun game…Mateo runs from one side of the cottage to the other when we count to three, about four laps in he is starting to slow down a bit! Both kids are doing well and we just continue to feel so blessed with the fact both of them are home and have almost been with us for two months now. Where did the time go?! All those prayer warriors out there can continue to pray for sleep issues. Mateo was up almost all night last night I think I got about two hours of sleep total, I talked to our case worker at AAI today and was reminded that this can last up to a year, yikes! But on the flip side after reading so much about toddler adoption I know that this is mild compared to some things that parents deal with. So we are trying to remain positive and just remember how thankful we are that God has blessed us the refining job of raising these children!

We spent a wonderful weekend up north with our families and had a birthday party for Elisabeth! she turned one on Thursday, wow it was so surreal to know that a year ago this beautiful little girl was brought into this world across the ocean from us and now we have her in our lives and home. God is so good!

Well we will update again this week but right now I have to get back to Barney en espanol with my son. Fun times, and no it is not better in Spanish☺
