Big Day at the Turley household....school, school, school!!

Hi,

We have been home for 3 months now. Hard to believe! So much is happening! Quinn is settling in and learning so much! At times we see little gestures that Quinn does that he obviously got from Parker...ha ha!!

Quinn went back to Pre-K on September 4th. He was VERY EXCITED! His preschool didn't have openings in August.

Parker started Kindergarten on September 4th Too!! Very exciting day! We all went out to Ruby's on the Newport Beach Pier to celebrate our big day!

We also found out that Quinn does not like his birth name of "Askar". I called him Quinn Askar and he said "No Askar...I don't like Askar". Tyler and I are going to re-adopt Quinn here in the US. We are now thinking that we may not keep "Askar" as his middle name. Just thinking out loud!

It has been getting easier....but definitely one of the toughest things Tyler and I have ever done! It is the "getting to know each other" phase that really threw us for a loop! I guess we thought we were prepared...but there is no preparing. Also we had "instant sibling rivalry" by week 3...YIKES!! We definitely weren't used to that with Parker being an only child.

So it is good. We are taking one day at a time. Quinn definitely looks up to Parker. Parker is the BIG brother!
