Everything is going great.  We are all adjusting very well.  Snyder seems to be settling in.

Snow day

Snyder had his first day in the snow on Saturday, but he wasn't too sure of the white stuff getting on him.  He lasted about 30 minutes though as I shoveled the driveway.  The rest of the day we played inside, as the Vermillions boys came over to visit.  The most popular toy was an empty box.

a couple firsts

Snyder had a couple firsts today as shown in the pictures.  He went shopping with mom in the morning and Friday night he stayed with his cousins while we went to the basketball game and got to go to the barn and see some baby lambs.  He had a great day.

generous friends and family

Arlington Girls Basketball Team

Well on Wednesday night my girls basketball team had a party for me, Amber and most importantly Snyder.  We had pizza and cookies.  The girls got Snyder some awesome clothes and some toys for the tub.  It was very cool.  He wore his new Nike tee shirt to the game tonight.  Then today my co-workers gave us some books to read to Snyder, as well as a very generous gift card to Toys R Us.  Everyone has been so amazing with all of this, other friends have dropped off gifts throughout the week.  It is such a blessing to have good friends and family.  Our thank you list keeps growing and growing.  We appreciate all of you very much.

Tonight I'm just going to post some pictures.  Today was a great day.  Snyder was in a good mood all day and is having fun.

Toys

Amber and Snyder had a great day today.  He is learning so much, so quick, and he is starting to know different people by name.  Also, his room is starting to get quite the collection of toys as you can see in the picture.

new week

Well, unfortunately I had to go back to work today, so I missed out on a lot of the fun at home.  Amber gets 6 weeks off work though so her and Snyder hung out all day.  He is definitely active!  He seems to be doing much better eating our food, and we are working on his English.  Amber and I have learned a few common Creole terms too, like rete (stop) and monje (food).  He really does seem to understand what we say in English...though that doesn't mean he always listens, but he seems to understand.
