Adjusting to Life as a Family of Five

Wisly is absolutely AMAZING!  Yes, we are only about a week and a half in, and there is usually a "honeymoon" period, but WOW, it is so clear that God is the one who brought the five us together.  We fit like a beautiful puzzle.  Praise His name!

Wisly is enjoying all the hugs, kisses and cuddles from the four of us.  Bedtime story reading and having family devotions crammed into our bed each night is especially sweet.  He and the girls are discovering that they really enjoy one another, particularly playing outside.  And their boisterous laughter is contagious!

Your continued prayers are appreciated, however, as our boy has a lengthy road of adjustment ahead.  He is experiencing a whole new life and we are learning to be parents/sisters to a new son/brother.  God is writing our story and we trust in Him!

Wisly's first bike...he was riding independently in about an hour!

Fun at the local playground

Playing legos

Welcome Home Shower at church.  Wisly was quite hesitant at first but after an hour of just hanging with his family, he happily joined a group of church kids playing "Spies". 

Our dear friend Carey made this delicious cake...Wisly loves him some BATMAN!

The church put on quite a spread!

Playing together out in our yard

Meeting our neighbor's dogs.  He likes them very well, from a distance.

First time with daddy trying to carry all three kids!

We are having Wisly work on Math and Reading online to evaluate where is he is academically.  We have been talking with administrators and will be easing him sllllllowly into public school.

Wisly is LOVING karate classes with his sisters and Sensei "Daddy".  He is a quick learner and very athletic.  It won't be long before he is giving Noelle a run for her money!
