From Five to Seven: School has started
http://winowiski.blogspot.com/2011/09/school-has-started.html
From Five to Seven. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. Last Thursday school started. I am enjoying the quiet- I have only 2 daycare kids here now, rather than 8-9 kids here each weekday throughout the summer! Preston and Hawi were both nervous about starting middle school (6th grade). Hawi was especially nervous- in fact, up until the day before school started she kept telling me that she was not going to go. The weather is pretty chilly here. Hawi wore a t-shirt, a hoodie, a jacket and gloves this morning!

From Five to Seven. Thursday, January 27, 2011. I was just informed that we have a new court date- February 11th. It's a bummer that its over 2 weeks away, but I'm also relieved that I won't be constantly hoping the phone will ring with news. So, the wait continues. Hopefully our new documents will arrive in plenty of time before the 11th and we'll pass this time. Tuesday, January 18, 2011. Aaron's travel journal- part 6 (the last entry).

From Five to Seven. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. We leave for Ethiopia Thursday (but the 3 kids here will stay at home w/ grandparents). We pick H and M up on Saturday, have our Embassy appointment on Wednesday of next week and then we'll be back home the following Sunday, May 1st! We were cleared by Embassy and will be traveling to Ethiopia soon! As soon as we get confirmation on our Embassy interview date we will book our tickets. We'll probably be leaving before Easter! What a great way to start our day!

From Five to Seven. Sunday, October 23, 2011. Today we made caramel apples. The kids had good attitudes while making them- and were very excited to eat their creations. Big, red apples, mini M&M's, Reese's Pieces and sprinkles. I forgot to take a picture of the apples before we started eating them.so here's a view of what was left after everyone had their fill (for now, I'm sure we'll eat more tonight! Tuesday, October 18, 2011. For taking our portraits! My absolute favorite picture from the entire batch!

From Five to Seven. Thursday, February 10, 2011. We passed court (for real this time)! I got a call this morning from our adoption coordinator letting us know that we passed court- and our newest court date wasn't even until tomorrow! Also, today is Preston's 11th birthday. What a great day! Monday, February 7, 2011. I'm feeling good about our court date this coming Friday. Of course, I don't know the future, but I am hopeful that we will pass this time.

From Five to Seven: May 2011

From Five to Seven. Thursday, May 12, 2011. I wanted to give braiding another try today (it didn't go well last week). I decided to go with a half head of cornrows. I think it went pretty well. They're not perfect, and they are certainly not as tight as her nannies could do them, but I think they're pretty good for a first try. Yay! Wednesday, May 11, 2011. H has been coming out of her shell. She has such a nice giggle. M jumps right into whatever is going on- he's not shy at all! Saturday, May 7, 2011.
