Well, at least the little one believed it was Ethiopian!! LOL. Mind you, except for the Injera, they did eat the meal with relish. The injera? Well, it was eaten slowly but no complaints. I did hear a few Yummy's through the meal.
Since they have been home they have willingly eaten 95% of what has been served to them.
Definitely Enjoying Her MealSomething else I have done in the past is paper plates. I have brought this back. The last few nights, and on the plan for the next few weeks, is to use paper plates for dinner. It has cut the work back and makes life simpler!
Notice Our "Dishwashing Pile" - the Cutlery The rest goes in the garbage! Love it!
Our NicelyPacked TableIt is funny how before the girls came the boys complained about how crowded each side of the table was. But do you think they would be so rude as to complain about a new person at the table? I'm not going to remind them how polite they are.
The weather around here is odd. Right now it should be getting cold. It is September, after all!! Mind you, we do have chilly mornings, but thankfully, we are in a warm spell in the days, so by noon the children are stripped down to summer gear. I love it! It is great transition weather. The kids are outside from 9:00 - 6:00 pm every day!!!
An Indian Summer Picnic - The Girls' First Picnic
Making Silly Faces
These Girls Love Fruit - They Inhale It!The kids spend the full day outside, but in the middle of the day they need a recharge time. So it is lunch time and then this is followed by naptime. I have five that laydown. We have begun a little routine that works quite well. Rather than the jumble in the bathroom of kids falling over kids, and kids all trying to use the toilet or sink at the same time, I have come up with a plan. I feel like I run a preschool. *laugh* I suppose I do!! Given I homeschool!
So now they line up. Not always in the same order. Briton tries to budge to the front of the line, so we might just put the littlest first, to keep him out of trouble!

oh how fun, thanks for sharing the pics. we are having that same weather here..love it!
WOW!!! Your girls are beautiful.
I have a question that we will most likely be facing in a little bit.
Now that you have met them and it is obvious by their size and skills that they are not 3 and 4, what are you doing about adjusting their ages? ARe you going to officially change them? I am torn what to do but I always struggle when it is so obvious the child is older and people don't want to change their age... I think we will most likely change ours' ages.
Thanks for sharing the new pictures. Such a lovely family you can see it was all meant to be.
I love the being outside that's a great idea.
I love the backyard it's lovely, we need to lay more grass seed our grass is just horrible. LOL
It's wonderful seeing a peek in your new arrangements and family.
How wonderful thanks...your such a inspiration.

Aaaaww... so cute, those pics, WELCOME HOME!!
Justine, it is so great to see pictures of the girls at home with their siblings!!! They look so adorable sitting around the table.
first time checking back, everybody looks great! how did you get them to wear the head gear, I have never been able to convince either girl to keep these lovely scarves on. Maybe it is the way you tie it??? sk
So awesome to see you home and enjoying life with your girls. I love the photo of you all eating together. You have such a beautiful family!
please tell me about their reaction when they saw their new bedroom...that you worked so hard to make beautiful!!!
