Welcome Home Tia!: GOTCHA DAY Anniversay! It's been 6 months already?!

Sorry, I am way late with this, but it's true. 05/05/13 was our 6 month Anniversary with Tian. Yesterday, June 17th was 7 months from when we brought her home. Congratulations and best wishes to all the Group 1921 families.

Hunter graduated from 5th grade and will be starting middle school in September. Not sure if anyone of us is prepared for this, but I'm sure we will do fine. Lots of good memories and friendships from Westchester Elementary. Looking forward to the new adventures of Sawgrass Middle. But not to fear, Tian will be starting Westchester in 3 years. We get to do it all over again!

I had a brilliant Father's Day. Hunter helped with breakfast and I got a beautiful sign written in chalk on the patio. Momma served up on of my favorite lunch and dinner. I got some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I chilled for a few hours in the pool with a few Sweetwater Blues. What more could a fella want? The Friday prior Tian's Daycare had a BBQ for the Dad's in her classroom. I was King for a day, got a Crown with Gems, a D-A-D collage and a pen holder! Sweet!

It's summer time and we are getting geared up for a great couple of months. Hunter's in Basketball Camp, a trip to the Keys is planned and I'm sure many poolside afternoons. Speaking of Poolside, Tian took her first dip in the Phillips' Private Lagoon in May. There was no way to wipe the smile off that face of hers. Full of confidence, it didn't take long for her to want to jump from the edge. Wiggling to get out of my arms, I'm sure Tian does not know she will probably sink like a rock.
I promise to get her into swim lessons as soon as possible.

The kids are getting along great. Hunter is growing like a weed and impressing me everyday. Tian is definitely getting bigger, but still leaning towards the little side. Her hair is getting long, but is so curly. Curls everywhere! He vocab is growing also. Her best word... "HUN-TER!" I love hearing her belt it out when she sees her big brother.
