Brennan fell asleep at 5:30 PM today on the couch. Of course he was awake since about 1:00 AM... it seems like his China schedule all over again. If I remember correctly it took about five days to get on schedule. He's handling it well though! Kate has seemed to adjust much easier to the time difference. She just fell asleep snuggled against Dave at about 7:00 PM. She didn't have a nap today or yesterday so that's pretty good! I'm totally sleep deprived but I think it's because I'm so excited and happy! Life is amazingly great!
Kate is adjusting well and has learned a few words to help her when she feels frustrated so hasn't cried as much, although she still has a few "moments". I can only imagine all the emotions she is feeling! We've tried Google Translator to help explain a few things, but we're not sure if she understands what the translator is telling her or not. She didn't really talk to Peter either though, so it's hard to tell. We can't wait to see her Uncle Spyros who is learning Cantonese just for her!
We spent Tuesday with friends at the pool and had so much fun. Kate smiled at everyone and loved playing with all the kids. Brennan was so happy to be with the gang again! The "gang children" now consist of five Asians (one actually born in the USA) and two beautiful blue eyed Americans. We miss you Jean and Big Kate!
Today (Wednesday, June 22) Reese and Emma came to our house for the day. Reese and Brennan are great friends and have the Korean Connection. Emma is four years old and the cutest little girl! The four kids had so much fun all day. We are so happy that they are coming over tomorrow too! If anyone else wants to join us at our pool- let us know!
The pictures will tell you all about our fun days! Enjoy!

| The cookie boquet that was sent to us from the Logels! Thank you so much- they were a BIG hit at the Ranheim house! |
| Sue came to visit! We also saw Joy at pool, but didn't get a picture. We hope they'll both visit us again soon! |

| Feeding the ducks at Springdale Lake- Brennan's fishing hole. |
| Emma and Kate are both four years old. They had so much fun together! |
 |
| Brennan doesn't care how big the fish he catches are- he's just happy to catch some! |
| Kate tried fishing for the first time! She borrowed Emma's fishingpole which just happened to be pink! |
 |
| Reese was so helpful with both four year olds today! He is truly a GREAT kid! |
| She fished for so long she needed to sit down! |
 |
| Emma had fun finding feathers- she asked us to call her "Feather Girl". |
| When I told Emma that Kate liked her, Emma asked, "Does she like me so much because I am so beautiful?" Of course that's whyEmma- you're a beautiful girl inside and out! |
 |
| Notice all their jewelry! The two princesses had so much fun! |
| Kate loves floating around the pool- she loves anything that helps her be more independent! |
 |
| The two mermaids took a break for a snack. |
