Labor Day Weekend

FRIDAY

We had a fun filled weekend! On Friday evening we went to the eat pizza with some friends and then we went to the park for our neighborhoods Family Fun Friday Night. They had all kinds of games set up, painting, bounce house, and even a movie showing at dusk...We didn't stay for the movie because my girlies wanted to get back for the premier of Camp Rock:The Final Jam=)

Andrew didn't want to take a picture in front of the firetruck.. he wanted to get down and climb on it=)

SATURDAY

Mika had her first soccer game of the season... GO TIGERS! She did great! She even scored a goal!!

Andrew and Kennedy watching from the sidelines... Andrew was so funny... he loved standing there screaming and pointing at Mika!

Then he decided he was done with soccer..got his bag and took off!

And there is my girl!!!

Later that day we went to Michael's families house for a shrimp boil..the kids always have a blast hanging out!

Climbing trees

So sweet! Don't his eyes look great?!

SUNDAY

We went to church for the first time since bringing Andrew home...we had to wait at least 6 weeks for bonding/attaching purposes...I was really nervous about how he would do..We could tell he was nervous..he didn't want to go in his room but he did.. when we went to pick him up I peeked in his room and he was sitting at a little table sucking his thumb and he looked soooo sad... when he saw us he burst into tears and came running towards us! They said he cried off and on but did well for a first time.. I was pleased=) It's a good sign he cried..it means attachment has taken place!

Later that day we went to get ice cream to celebrate Mika's first soccer goal of the season...

Andrew got his first sugar high! I realized he hadn't really had much sugar until he started acting like a monkey...no.. really.. he started jumping up and down in the booth and saying "ooo-ooo-ooo" just like a little monkey... then once we got in the car he was screaming.. not that that is unusual.. but he would do it then just bust out laughing! So funny!

MONDAY

His first American holiday we went to my parents house...for good ole fashioned burgers and dogs..my boy was happy..he was outside .. all day!

All the cousins..minus one!

This is where he spent most of the day... on the tire swing!! Everyone in the family took their turn pushing him.. he never wanted to get off!!
