Two Weeks and Counting

Marie and Mack have been home over two weeks now. We are all settling in a little more each day. Our days are very routine and Marie loves to recite the steps to the day. At supper she says, "eat, bath, brush teeth, story, sleep!" Some of it is in English and some is in Creole so it goes like this but don't count the spelling, "manje, dusch, brush teeth, story, domi! ". They each have a special towel, Mackenson's is a duck and Marie's is a bunny.One morning I was in the kitchen making breakfast and in totters this cute little giggling ducky! Bath time is something that has changed dramatically. The first bath they each had was a scream fest. After only two or three baths they were sitting and splashing in the water.

Some favorite foods so far for both are peanut butter, Tang, hot dogs, chicken, potatoes, cheerios, ketchup, green beans from the garden and melon. They both get a kick out of an ice cube in their water glass and hooded jackets. Simon and Ferris are getting some much awaited loves from both kids; Mackenson especially likes to hug and kiss Ferris. Dylan has gotten a few pets as well and is becoming more at ease with the increased chaos in the house, though remains slightly allusive.
