August fun

We are having a good August. It's been hot, so lots of indoor activities for us. Sophie saw the doctor today and is doing well. She is 24 inches long and weighs 12.5 lbs. (61 cm and 5.7 kg)
We are impatiently waiting for Mamy and Papy to come visit us. They arrive Sept 3, and will be with us for most of September.

Walker is fun!

Look at me!

A little of this, a little of that.

The heat of August is upon us here in KC, yet we are finding ways to keep cool. We visited the Clifford exhibit at Crown Center before Jo returned to work. Alex had fun climbing on Clifford, while Sophie took a nap. Papa and the kids are settling into a routine without Mama at home. We usually try to get out of the house in the morning and go to the mall, library, store, whatever. It's nice to be out and about, but takes a little more work with two kids! After naps we usually play until Mama gets home from work. With the heat, its been hard not to be outdoors, but we are surviving.

Last week our friends Cecile, Gerald, Thomas, and Emily stopped by for a couple visits. They were into town for 2 weeks to visit family. It was great to catch up with them and to see the kids play together. Hopefully, we'll get to see them next year in France. Today, we went to the Holt picnic. We saw a lot of adoptive families there. We met up with our friends: Roger, Frederique, and Tyler Jae and met some new friends: Stacey, Corey, and Autumn. Autumn was also born in Vietnam and is just a couple weeks older than Alex.

For the next 3 weeks, Alex will not have Parent's Day Out, so I guess I'll (Papa) will have be "on" more of the time. It should go well, but I'm already looking forward to PDO starting up again!
