Where has the week gone???

This week has flown by with lots of little things.  The girls had their first soccer practices this week.  Ainsley was on Monday and Mackenzie on Thurs.  I actually didn't go to either of them but Jeff said they both did great.  Ainsley was a bit hesitant but did tell the coach her name and did play so that's good!  And Mackenzie seemed to really have fun so I am excited for them.  Hopefully they will really enjoy their time in soccer this fall.  They are also both enjoying swim lessons and I am seeing lots of improvement in both of their swimming so that has been really worth it.  Other than soccer and swim lessons, we have been spending time at the pool, hanging out with the neighbors and just having fun.  We have had one other big event this week kid related and that was that our re-adoption was finalized!!  We went ahead and re-adopted Ellie here in the US for estate planning purposes just in case anything ever happen to us.  It is just best to have all the bases covered as sometimes things can get held up in Probate if they aren't re-adopted in the US.  It also gives her a US birth certificate which is helpful for school purposes.  So we are glad that is done.  All that's left is out 12 month post placement in October/November.  

I spent Thursday and Friday at an amazing leadership conference in Cincinnati put on by Willowcreek.  I learned so much and it was fun to go to but the two days were long..not getting home till 7 both nights.  Definately worth it!  So that's been our week..oh and of course we can't forget the beginning of the Olympics.  I LOVE watching the Olympics and especially this year as they are in China.  It is fun to point that out to Ellie who can now say China:)  The girls have all loved watching with us this year.  Hopefully we can still get some sleep!
