A little behind.....

Ok, ok, I'm so behind, it ridiculous. It seems that I've been a little too busy this summer. I apologize for not keeping you all up-to-date with our Russell activities, but I honestly have not had too many spare moments to sit down and type or post a story.

Here's are a few little updates, just to keep you all informed:

Kaeleah started school this week at Bell Elementary(her brand new school) and she absolutely LOVES it. She's just amazed on all of the new things they have in the school. They have all automatic hand dryers(no more paper towels), all automatic toilet flushers(elimating germs), REAL plates and forks at school(this one I had to laugh, I guess her old school only had plastic utensils and plates), and her classroom, gym, music room, and art room are just spectacular, according to Kaeleah. She realized the second day of school that all of the students had the exact same fears as her, so she is adjusting perfectly. So far, so good.

Brynn is getting bigger by the day. She still doesn't say much. She knows what she wants and what we are talking about, but she has no desire to verbally communicate with us. We tell her to say a word, she looks at us, and shakes her head "no". I guess I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. If she's anything like her sister, we are in BIG trouble. Kaeleah talks enough for the both of them. Brynn does know all of her body parts, she knows actions to all of the songs I sing her, so I know she can do it if she wanted too, she just chooses not to. Typical.

Billy and I are still doing well. We're both extremely busy with work and house stuff. We're still slowly working on getting our basement together. Hopefully by the end of this year I will be organized and everything will be out of boxes. It really is a never ending process, isn't it!? We got our fence up, our front yard landscaping in, our patio furniture is up, we just need a play set for the girls and the rest of our landscaping done in the backyard and we will be all done with the outside of the house. Eventually our house will be complete.

Anyways, I just wanted to post a quick little note to let everyone know we are all still alive and kicking. Stay tuned for more Russell news!
