It's been awhile...

Let's see...the quick update is that things are going pretty well. We had a rough week right after we decreased their medicine, but things seem to have leveled out. Horah! Little lady has started riding therapeutic horses, and Mr. Muscles has started gymnastics. We got invited to our first birthday party, but had a flat tire on the way there and missed most of it. Still got ice cream cake. We've bunked the beds and put away the summer clothes. Shelly has taken advantage of our distracted nature and has eaten half a pan of brownies, a Little Caesar's pizza, and a half dozen cookies...to name a few of her snatches.

The official process is getting closer. There is a pre-trial next week and the actual trial in December. Visits with their parents have been reduced to bi-weekly, but we are worried about when our social worker will make the move to tell the kids. We hope they don't have to go cold turkey...for their sake and ours.

The wetting has significantly reduced to being mostly a night time issue. Little lady does periodically still have daytime incidents, but they are much less often! Yay for less laundry!

Skype has been a lovely tool to get to "meet" family. I'm kind of bummed that we can't post pictures or include them in our Christmas letter. They seem like part of our family to us! Technically they're not though, so we just have to wait.
