Dear Sean,
You turned six years old this year and you are doing an amazing job in kindergarten. You really love school and are starting to find your groove there. Reading is something you are excelling at. I always find you looking in a book and trying to read the story. You learned to swim and love the water, especially the diving board. You got glasses this year and I think you look so cute in them.
This year for your birthday we took you on a little trip. You have been asking for a long time to go somewhere and stay overnight. Daddy thought up the perfect place to take you. We went to Great Wolf Lodge. You were in heaven. I think you would have stayed there forever if we let you.
We made the weekend about things you love. We had lunch on the way up at a pizza food truck. You love watching the food truck race and every time we see a truck you beg to stop. Mommy made sure that a food truck was a part of your birthday experience. And the pizza was really good too.
The thing that you are most excited about this year is your new brother and sister. You want to show them all of the great things about our house. You have started to notice all the little brothers and sisters that everyone else has. I do try to remind you that your brother and sister aren't a baby but you are being so sweet and you pray for them by name every night.
This year for halloween you have chosen to be a hunter. I am glad that you want to be like your daddy. You love your new bow and arrow and are outside shooting any time we will take you. Archery was your favorite olympic event and that has fueled your desire to hit the target just like they do. Thank you for being the caring, sweet, loveable, and funny kid that you are. I love you and I want you to stay little but that isn't going to happen.

There's Something Wrong Here
It has been going on for a couple of years now and I just don't know what to do about it. I have tried bribery and every method I can think of but Sean will not eat ice cream.
Recently however we thought that there was hope. He wanted us all to have desert together so we jumped in the truck and headed straight to get ice cream.
This looks great and I think that we have finally turned a corner until the dreaded my tummy is all full.
Sorry kid I just don't believe you and I have the picture to prove it. The picture below (approximately 2 years ago) shows a typical breakfast except that he almost always asks for more. Because he is always hungry!!!
He was however willing to let me scrape off the ice cream and try to eat the cone part because that just seemed cool.
As you can see that this did not work out well either. I will just have to keep trying. Oh and thank you mom for the curse of having a child just like me.
(only my food issues are much less than everyone else except in the area of deserts, but I love ice cream)
It keeps getting better every day.
On the adoption home front: Our home study has been approved by our agency and we have sent in our application to the government. It will take approximately 3 months for the government to approve us. In the mean time our attorney in the Congo will be working on matching us with our children. This process will take about 6 months. So after this brief flurry of activity we now begin waiting.
