Much to update you on....

It's been a crazy summer and it's almost over! David is now walking and is into EVERYTHING!!! He doesn't listen very well! LOL! We are also proud to announce that his social worker turned in the paperwork for our petition for adoption and we should have a court date very soon. We look forward to the judge stating our son's name as DAVID ALLEN WILLIAM GRAVES!!! It will be a wonderful celebration!

Dina has been working hard to get her classroom set up for the upcoming school year. She's very excited and nervous at the same time. Tomorrow will be her first day in teacher meetings and her new class of 5th graders will start on Wednesday. Time has flown by so quickly, but Dina thinks she's prepared to take on the challenge! The kids will start daycare, too, which will be good for their socialization. They have had a couple of playdates there to get them accustomed to the surroundings. Katarina told Jeff that she likes her new friends! David apparently has a new buddy, too!

Jeff is working really hard still at the dealership but has a possible opportunity to work for a lumber company as a manager. Please keep your fingers crossed. It will be more money and he'll be home on the weekends if he does end up getting the job. :)

Katarina's Swim Lesson Report Card!

Image
Well, our first session of swim lessons is now over. It was unusually cool this time of year to be in the pool. A lot of the kids, including Katarina, had their moments and did NOT like the cold water. But, overall Katarina did very well. She is a great kicker and can actually move both her hands and kick at the same time for a little while. The only thing she needs to work on is blowing bubbles in the water instead of drinking it! Next week starts our last sessions for the summer. Should be lots of fun, again!

Seascape Family Vacation!

Image
We had the best time at the Seascape resort! Katarina had a blast at the pool and beach. It was nice not having to worry about where to be at certain times. We just did whatever we wanted and had a relaxing time. :) Jeff was able to go golfing and Dina did a 6 mile Wharf to Wharf run during the trip. It trailed from the Santa Cruz beach board walk to Capitola! Her time was 1:36 (so she didn't exactly RUN the entire time). We are now home safe and sound and back to reality! This is one place we look forward to returning to!

Photo shoot!

Image
Dina's former co-worker had recently asked if she could do a photo shoot of Katarina. She wanted to try out a new lens her husband bought her. So, of course, Mommy said yes since she LOVES pictures so much. There were too many cute ones to even post. The pictures just turned out adorable. Just letting Katarina play in the front yard for a bit allowed for great photos! It was so much fun (and nice to catch up with a friend for "adult" conversation).
