Settling In

For those who have been following our blog, here's an update.
1. Roger is in his third week of classes and is doing well in his class on Advanced Educational
Psychology. Roger is working on a research project titled, "Language acquisition challenges
and remediation strategies for post institutionalized internationally adopted children". So far
he has not found employment but God is taking care of the family's needs.
2. Holly has been helping the children acclimate to family life. Steven and Samuel both love to
paint and have been producing originial creations. They attend AWANA at church though they
don't quite know what to do, especially Steven (who doesn't know the language).
3, We are making plans to have Steven seen by a pediatrician who is skilled at caring for
internationally adopted children. He will need a complete blood work-up, including test for
parasites. Most children from China have giardia or someo other kind of infection. We have
also sent an application to Shriner's Hospital. They are expert at caring for children with
orthopedic needs. We'll may need an evaluation for Steven's cognitive and psycho-social
developmental issues.
4. Amy now officially has a Virginia learner's permit and is anxious to take a turn at the wheel.
Nice job Amy! She's progressing in her homeschooling
I hope you enjoy the latest pictures.
