THE KURTZ FAMILY........OUR ADOPTION JOURNEY

Summer time is here and the kids are enjoying their time off from school. I like the change as well....getting away from the routine of things is nice for awhile. Maya, Sam and Denaye all just finished swimming lessons last friday. Sam was in level 3 and it was way beyond his ablility, however his teacher told me not to worry and that it would force him to improve. She was right.....he didn't pass the level, but he is able to do a lot of stuff that he couldn't just 2 weeks before....very proud of that boy. Maya is like a fish, she took to the water immediately and passed with flying colors. Denaye, the cautious one, actually was able to get over her fear of putting her face in the water. She also loves the water and she is able to move on as well. The kids have now started daycamps this week. It is nice they started because so did the rain, the weather is not very good these days. The high today is only 15 C......that's horrible. Maya now rides a bike. Her dad taught her, she has training wheels because she is not able to balance and pedal at the same time, but it won't be long before the wheels are off.

My brother is getting married in August and we are heading to Saskatchewan for the big event. On our way we are making a stop in Saskatoon to meet with some other bloggie friends who are or have adopted from Ethiopia. I am very excited to meet and talk and get to know them a little bit. The girls are very excited about the wedding. We bought very fancy dresses and fancy shoes so they can't wait to wear them. The rest of us are looking forward to being with family and celebrating with my brother and Shauna. That's it for now. I hope you are all enjoying your summer.

Blessings
