Many things have changed since Christmas of 2007, so hold on while we lay it all out for you! It’s hard to believe how quickly the year has passed. The men and kids continue to get older, while every woman miraculously stays the same age. What’s up with that?!? As usual, the man gets the short end of the stick!
Carter is 9 and Justice is 8. They are the best of friends, and always willing to help their sisters even when mom and dad don’t tell them too! Both boys have been bored out of their minds in school this year, so we had them tested to see what could be done to keep them engaged and excited about learning. Both boys qualified for the gifted and talented program, and will start attending the program after Christmas break. They are both video game junkies, love to read, enjoy soccer and swimming.
Avery is 4 and Reagan is 2. They are polar opposites when it comes to nearly everything. Avery is the princess who needs lots of cuddles and compassion, while Reagan is the strong independent one who doesn’t want any help or told how to do anything. Avery loves horses and drawing, while Reagan is a mother in the making while she drags around all of her dolls and puts them to bed or feeds them. Avery will start Kindergarten next year and Reagan will get one more year at home before she starts preschool.
Our foster children, Jacob and Jake are both doing well. Jacob just turned 15 years old (yikes!!) and Jake will be 13 years old in February. Jacob is continuing to improve in his communication skills, and his behaviors are continuing to decrease as well. Jake is still the mellow man on campus who is usually smiling to talking you up about anything but the weather is his favorite.
Sadie and Asher are…well, still in Ethiopia. As if having six kids in the house wasn’t enough for us, we have begun the process of adopting these two beautiful children from Ethiopia. Sadie is a 3 month old girl with big beautiful eyes, and Asher is a 15 month old boy that is full of energy and life. Everyone at the orphanage in Ethiopia says that he is the life of the party with a very strong personality. We are hoping that if everything continues to progress at the current rate, we will be able to bring our two new children home in March!
Sarah and Travis are still crazy in love, Sarah is still a RN on a Labor and Delivery/ Nursery unit, and Travis is still the Executive Director at the Arc.
We hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas and the very best New Year! Please keep in touch. Look us up on facebook , our Email is Dunn625@aol.com, and our blog is, of course, right here.
