Wild Child

Evan has definitely displayed a wild streak these last few days. He also has a bit of a temper. We have been doing a lot better lately with the tantrums, but he is still likely to hit the floor if something doesn't go his way. We miss everyone and can't wait for you to meet Evan. He is really a good hearted child. This morning Hannah (the Schattes' child) was crying uncontrollably. Evan saw this and went and found her "Piglette" doll in the other room and took it to her. He acts as if nothing is happening usually when she cries. I guess a crying child is just business as usual for him. He's gotten better at bed and nap time to. We have begun telling him in Russian to lie down, and he protests, but then does as he's told. He wimpers and rolls, but usually within about 15 minutes, he's snoring away. How are things at the bank. I'd love to hear from you guys. We still haven't been able to get on our email. See ya soon.

Blog.com is quickly approaching the number one site at Newton Federal, literally. I have loved adding the site to my morning routine to look for the latest update. It is strange to see Clays empty office, but it’s a reminder to pray and brings a smile to think of you and your family. We are especially praying for your court date on Friday. Thanks for all the messages it great to hear the three of you are doing so well, please keep them coming.

Hey guys......we just now realized that we can post comments to you all. We've been thinking and praying about you all! we've really enjoyed reading the updates and are so glad that you're getting to spend so much time with Evan. We're so happy for you.

By the way, speaking of tantrums...I think that I forgot to tell you of the ones that Kadin had a few weeks ago when we were visiting. He would sit on the floor, get all poutty and then slam his head backwards on the floor (which we all know doesn't have much padding) I was scared to death that he was gonna give himself a concussion. hehehehhhehe

Good Luck and God Bless!!
