Great progress!

I apologize for the lack of posts. As you can imagine we have been extremely busy. I am happy to report that Katya is adjusting very well. She is a very happy child. She is a very calming influence on her siblings. She is very kind and fun to be around. We put her in school right away and she had very little hesitation, in fact she was a little disappointed that she had to wait 4-5 days for the school to get her schedule and paperwork processed before she could start.

Katya is learning english very quickly. I would say at the fastest pace of any of our kids. Most of that is due to her hard work at english in the year before she came home. Katya is keeping in touch with 4 other girls who were adopted to the states from her orphanage group. She calls two sisters in Atlanta, Angela and Zhenya, as well as twin sisters in New York. Angela and Zhenya's family are coming to Colorado to visit in July. Katya is looking forward to it.

We are working on an updated family picture that shows everyone. And we should be getting some new pictures updated soon.
