FINALLY........more photos

So life is quite busy with two active girls - in the best possible way! We are all settling in and getting to know each other more and more each day. Harley is such a joy with a sparkling personality. Melanie is still pretty easy going but asserting herself more with a little sister in the mix. We enrolled Harley in gymnastics at this fantastic place just down the road from us. She is well on her way learning about group settings with multiple children her own age, taking turns and working together. Melanie began swimming lessons and doing well with it. She was a bump on a log the first 3 lessons but I threw an offer out that got her motivated: if she does her lessons and tries her best during the class, she can pick another activity (gymnastics, tae kwon do, dance) so she's turning into a fish and I have to pay up! Hey, it worked :)

Harley is pronouncing her letters better and learning to write her name. The Dry-erase workbook has been a valuable asset for her writing skills ($5.99 at Walmart) and she has homework, just like her big Sis, Melanie. Her attention span is still an issue but it IS getting better.

Enjoy the pictures!
