Summer Time

Well, it has been a long time since I posted. We are been so busy. Now that summer is here we are starting to slow down a little which is nice. Drew is doing very well. We had some struggles in late April and May. We worked through them and know that the Gotcha Day probably had something to do with it. Drew did very well in school. His last report card had the highest marks in everything except for some reading and writing areas. This is to be expected with him learning a second language...He is reading almost at the end of the first grade though which is great.

He is excited about school next year in second grade. He was worried about it, but has met the teacher and saw that 5 of his best friends are in the same class. He is enjoying sleeping in, but does miss school already. He asked to go shopping for new folders and clothes the first weekend he was out of school. I told him that will come later.

Drew is keeping busy this summer. He has pulled out legos again (the new puppy had them away). He has completed karate camp and had a week off. He is now in his 2nd day of Chinese Culture Camp. He is enjoying it. We have been able to swim a couple times so far. He loves to swim and we hope to do it more often.

Drew spent his first overnight on the Fourth of July with his Grandpa and Grandma. He had a good time and enjoyed the fireworks. He told them that his, "Chinese brain had turned off and his Michigan brain was turned on." He is so funny.

We are looking forward to Vacation Bible School next week and visiting family and friends in Wisconsin the week after. We are going to take Drew to play and spend time with his best friend from the orphanage while in Wisconsin. Drew is excited and I hope it goes well.
