Looking Back; We're so Blessed! Hope you are all doing really well.

We continue to enjoy Marek, Maarten, and Monique as they work to communicate with us in theirbody language and little humming sounds. Their observations of us keep us all wondering who will make the next move. Monique's curiosity and desire to hold, make eye contact and really try to get out some sounds make us think she'll be the first to talk. We'll see. Marek is getting so long in his frame; he's able to eat more, sleep longer and all around be just going with the flow more often than his siblings. Maarten's desire for bath time reveals to us that he may be a fish like his mama. The community pool here opens May 24th and we're thrilled to take them there! All of them enjoy it when we sing songs and use sign language. I believe that Marek's message to me right now through his heavy drooling and whining is that he's exhausted and needs a nap. Gotta run. Found some older photos and thought you might find them enjoyable.

Have a beautiful May day! - Suzi and
