Like peas in a pod!



Well everyone is adjusting great. Madeline loves the kids as she does them. Hannah and Madeline pal around all day. Hannah now has a little "sis".

Madeline is still not real sure about what she thinks of me. She has her days. I have to say that she eats more than all the kids and she is always the last one to leave the table. She actually has a very good diet. She loves vegetables.

We have taken her to my parents pool and also out on the pontoon on the lake. She loves it all!
People ask me about her personality and I tell them she is already a Bentley (Enough said).

I think I have just about caught up with the jet lag but Shannon is still having issues. It makes you feel like a zombie.

Madeline still is walking around speaking in Chinese but she has already learned some English words.

Thank you to all who have provided meals this week. They have been a real help.
