I finally think I may have figured out how to attach a picture :) We are very busy, but adjusting well. The girls seem to have adjusted to being home and their older brother is adjusting to having to screaming girls in the house. We have noticed that the noise volume is ten-fold. Whether the girls are happy or sad, it seems we have high pitched squeals :cool: We have had our share of doctors appointments. M has elevated lead levels -- no surprise as she puts everything in her mouth. But she is doing very well otherwise. We have an early intervention eval in a few weeks and I suspect she will qualify for speech therapy as she has difficulty in Polish as well as English. But she is picking up on ASL very quickly. E, on the otherhand is a chatterbox in Polish and English. We affectionately call her "the parrot". She talks from the time she wakes up until the time she falls asleep. She does NOT have any food allergies as diagnosed in Poland. But she does have some other medical issues that were not identified that we are trying to sort out. Unlike, her sister, E HATES anyone in the medical field and has already had 6 blood draws, MRI with sedation, and 6 specialty doctor visits in the six weeks we have been home. Fortunately, she is a fun and happy kid and gets over things quickly :) She is getting stronger as she tries to keep up with her brother and sister. We are trying to sell our house in this crazy market, which is a challenge with 3 children in the house. Please pray we can sell it soon or we may go crazy:arrow: Bonding seems to be going well -- I jumped for joy the other day when the girls screamed as I left the house! My neighbors thought I was crazy :cheer: Once I can save more pictures in a web format, I'll try to post more

An offer we made on a house was accepted, with close being two weeks later. We managed to pack, get the new house inspected, have a music recital (the girls), a doctors appointment (neurotransmitter issues for the boys), move, get renters into the old house - all within three weeks. It IS crazy, but it's possible! I'm sure the surprises that your daughter is throwing you, medically, aren't fun, but I'm so glad that you are rolling with it. It makes things so much easier!
Thank you for posting an update with the adorable picture - all three seem to be so happy! I have not been on the forum as much as in the past but check in once in a while and it is always great to see updates.
I will think and pray about you re. the house sale. Miracles do happen in this market - last year we had very few showings and then (on the day of our son's First Communion which was organized at our friends' house) we got an offer and people who wanted to close within a week!! It was amazing, we felt so blessed. Now, we have another home to sell, but may rent it for another year to wait through this market. Anyway, I wish that all goes well with your home!
