10 years

Yesterday (May 31) was our 10 year wedding anniversary.  Our life has certainly changed in 10 years! 

We spent the day with our blessings!  We had lunch together with Ashlynn after watching some of Derek's Track and Field Day.  In the evening, we picked up Matthew (our "little brother" through Big Brothers/Big Sisters) and all went out for dinner.  We had planned to then go to Derek's soccer game but it was cancelled due to lightening.  The evening still ended on a good note as we enjoyed ice cream at the Blast (an Owatonna favorite).  All in all, a good day!

Ashlynn is adjusting to her new life with us.  She continues to be a good eater though we wish she'd take in more fluids.  She's gotten her days and nights almost sorted out so we're all getting more sleep.  She loves spending time with her brothers and is excited to see them when they come home from school.  She is happy most of the time.  We do have times when she cries and we can not easily comfort her.  We expect she is missing what is familiar to her.  It's hard to even imagine how difficult it is for her with so much change in just three short weeks.  We hope we will continue to earn her trust each day.  We gotcha Ashlynn and we're not letting go!

 

Look for another update after Ashlynn's appointments at the U of M on Wednesday.
