An Quick Update...

Hi all,

I'm not sure who's still reading this or checking in, but if you are please continue...

We'll be posting periodic items about Kyle's progress and his activities.

So keep checking. (This post is an accumulation of recent typings, but I'll post it now...)

Lisa and I were were so happy to hear that so many people had been following along with our travels. Sometimes it was tough to find the time to post something, but since we knew that y'all were waiting on news, we tried to post regularly. We truly hope you enjoyed being there with us, we enjoyed having you along. For those who posted comments - Thanks for the encouragement!

It's been a week and a half or so since our last update, and there's lots to tell.

Kyle's doing really well here in Harleysville, and we hope all of the other kids in our travel group are doing well also.

It's amazing to see how he's really developing his personality. He loves to play alone or with others. He eats ANYTHING - Food, I mean. He's been sleeping really well, and has only had 1 "bad" night in the last 2 weeks.

He's been out and about a lot. He's been to the King of Prussia Mall, Market Fair Mall (in Princeton, NJ) and on numerous neighborhood walks with Mom & Dad and our dog, Murphy. He doesn't seem to mind the cold and loves to ride in the car.

He's also samples the local restaurant cuisine, and seems to like eating (out or in). This past weekend he went to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. He had a boatload of fun but was just a bit young for the exhibits and activities - but try them he did! We also visited Grandmom & Pop-Pop Lockhead for Dinner in Philadelphia on Saturday night. Kyle had a lot of fun with Sean Andrew and Alyx, his cousins, and showed off by testing out his walking (with some help still) skills. (It's also comforting to know that just like Dad, Uncle Sean, and Pop-Pop Kyle likes soft pretzels!)

He's gotten a clean bill of health from his new Doctor - all of his tests came back just as they should have.

Last week Kyle also visited his new school (Goddard School) for a test drive. Once again, he came up aces - got along well with the teachers and other kids in the class. We're sure he'll do really well there.

I hope this is not too disjointed, but I hope to post some more photos shortly.
Please, keep checking back.

Thanks.
C

I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed reading all your entries and seeing the pictures. I know you are thrilled to have Kyle with you. I finally figured out how to send a comment.
Marcia Brown (co-president of the Firebug Club with Lisa's Mom Joanne) I am sure she has shared this with you. We hope to get our little one from Guatemala soon.

We have loved keeping up with you through this page. The kids especially. They all send their love to their new cousin (or is it 2nd cousin? - never did get that right) and hope to meet him someday!
