Just cruisin along

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to write something quick. We have been home 2 weeks 5 days. Quinn is settling in. It is definitely an adjustment....for all of us. But we have been reassured that this is all "NORMAL" stuff that you go through.

We feel bad for Quinn because it must be difficult when you don't understand alot that is going on around you. Tyler and I feel like "Orge's" most of the time because we have to say "NO" so much right now. We believe it is very important to help Quinn understand the rules of our house.

Quinn just finished his first week with his English tutor. He is picking up English pretty fast. We taught him how to play "Animal Bingo". Once he got the hang of it....he wanted to play it ALL DAY LONG! It is really a great game because he is learning how to take turns and he is learning the names of animals. Pretty cool.

Tyler and Parker went to Catalina Island for Indian Guides this weekend...lucky guys! So this weekend it is Quinn and I. So for fun I called Maria tonight in Kazakhstan. It was great to talk to her. She told Quinn a few things for me. Quinn is very familiar with her and I thought that would be good for him to hear her voice. The language barrier thing is hard. I can't wait for him to understand what we are saying. Soon...soon!

Just taking this one day at a time! Thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts!
