We're well into our 2nd week home with MAC.
On Sunday, the 27th, we hung out at home and let MAC experience the scooter, bike, playset, etc.
We took the kids swimming on Monday.
Ryan went back to work on Tuesday, leaving me to hold down the fort with the kids.
The kids and I went to town on Wednesday to run errands and attend a memorial service. The ferry dock was broken which made for an extra long trip home but the kids were all really great about the extra long wait.
On Thursday, my parents came over to spend the afternoon. They got to witness MAC's introduction to the doorbell. That was pretty cute.
We stayed close to home on Friday and Saturday. Saturday evening, we took the kids to the local movie theatre to see WALL*E. We'd already seen it but we had a couple free passes and thought it would be fun to take MAC to his first movie theatre.
We went to church on Sunday and even though he's really shy, MAC did a great job of meeting so many new people.
This week we're doing swimming lessons so we're gone for a large portion of the day. The kids ALL love to swim and are having a great time. We've had wonderful weather for it too. Yesterday we even brought out the slip 'n slide when we got home and MAC LOVED that. ;o)
We'll be having a picnic with Ryan's extended family this weekend so MAC will get to meet some aunts, uncles and cousins.
MAC is doing REALLY well and Ryan and I are both wondering how long this "honeymoon" phase will last. We're amazed at how well he fits into the family already.
We've been playing a lot of Uno and Yahtzee in the evenings. MAC also likes to be read to and enjoys music. His favorite cd right now is "Boyz in the Sink" Veggie Tales. He'll even sing along if he doesn't think anyone is listening. ;o)

Thanks for the update on your family! Have there been any challenges at all? It all sounds so ... easy ...
Hi Paula,
I'm keeping an eye on you - and dreaming about Beshir coming home in 3 weeks. Here's praying we have such an easy adjustment. I'll contact you when we've settled in a bit.
