Phew!

These past 2 weeks have been a blur. I finally crashed last night! I went to bed at 7pm and woke up this morning at 6am. Rebekah is doing well! Sean continues to give me an update on his feelings for Rebekah....minute by minute! Maggieann had decided that her little sister is something to be proud of too! She was feeling a bit displaced this past week, but last night she realized that Rebekah does not cry anymore at night and decided that she loved her! We went camping at a Koa with our church this weekend. What fun!!!! There are 200 of us that go. We basically take over KOA. The kids rode their bikes everywhere. Rebekah and I stayed at our cabin but had many visitors. The last night there, Sean tried to climb out of the top bunk IN his sleeping bag still! Maggie also woke up and crawled into bed with us. Rebekah had been very cold the night before so she was already in bed. 4 of us in this tiny bed ALL night. I think that is why I crashed last night! Maggie got her first big ouch! from a bike crash! She still loves her bike!
The past week has been a bit overwhelming. I am learning how to teach school, drive kids to their respective activities and keep a 1 year old happy. Not always easy. I alos started teaching piano again this week. I only had half of my students start this week...probably better for Rebekah who had to learn that Mommy is distracted a bit and she could not play the piano while someone else is playing it! We have managed to get some good schooling in! Rebekah is happy in her high chair or playing...the other 3 are very distracted watching their cute little sister. Something I am sure will fade in time. Again...not complaining, just something I have to deal with! Rebekah has been determined to not take more than a 30 min. nap. AGH! I can't get much done in 30 min. She takes this nap in the morning and then wants to sleep late in the afternoon. I think the orphanage did not write her schedule correctly. She does not take 1 nap...she takes 2. Well, we have been trying to switch her rythm to 1 nap a day...hoping that she takes a longer nap tomorrow!

That is it for now! I have enjoyed a bit of quiet time and the kids are coming thru the door telling me about their clubs this evening! I will update soon. Thanks for reading if you still are!
