Blogging!

Yes, it has been a while. I have nothing to say, except I am lazy. We haven't taken too many pictures.

Justin - has now lost 2 teeth. He lost the second one at school and they wrapped it up for him. The tooth fairy came that night. He has two friends at school besides Katie. Although we went for a breakfast one day and he ran around with everyone. He is slowly learning to speak Turkish. Everyday he says that he had a "not fine" day at school. Usually this is because one thing happened that he didn't like. The rest of his day was fine. You have to pry HARD to find these things out. After school Justin does some homeschool. We are working on learning the ABC's and their sounds. When he learns them all he will get the new Lego's Star Wars game cube game. We do various things but we really like to use starfall.com, it is fun and educational!
Ashton
- is loving school. She never has a bad day and she even thanks God in her prayers for her school and that she got to go that day. She gets up at the crack of dawn almost everyday and comes to the living room to read till someone else gets up. Her favorite thing to read is comic books. She has some in Turkish and some in English. She really likes math and does well in that subject. It is kind of hard to tell how well she is really doing, since we don't understand the system very well. But we can tell that she is learning and her language is improving. That is what is important to us. She likes to play games on the internet. Mostly barbie.com and oyunlar1.com which is a collection of games. Sometimes she does educational things on there.
Kaden
- is a funny funny baby. He likes things in a certain way. He is very helpful, he puts his shoes and coat away. He especially likes to have plastic ware when eating his meal. He even got a spoon to use with his orange today. He says "all done" and "more" verbally and in sign language. He is all the time looking for his milk and if you give him something he says "there it is". He also gets into everything that he isn't supposed to. So far he has actually be pretty good with the tree. Last week he got into the closet with the vacuum cleaner every day and took it out. Sometimes more than once a day. He hasn't been doing this so much, so maybe he has learned his lesson. He has boxes of toys and sometimes he actually goes to them to play.
