My Camera is Broke

Yes, my new camera is broke. I told you that I had trouble with it at the orphanage. I thought that I had wore out the battery but, now it will not take pictures but you can still hear the motor, it just does not focus. So, I paid all this money to have a nice camera instead I have something else to deal with. So......I will just have to give a report and not add pictures until I figure something else out. Katie and Lizzy went to the doctor today and all is well. They weigh exactly the same and Lizzy is only taller by a 1/2 of an inch. I guess so much for being the "Big Sister."

Also, I discovered that Katie can count to 11 without any problem, she knows her colors in English, and she can put the alphabet in order using cards (even though she has not said them for us.) She does not say many words in English and yet she can sing all the songs in High School Musical. School starts Monday and though I wish I had another week, I think everything will be okay.

If anyone has had any trouble it is Lizzy, I think her feelings are hurt a little. I have been trying hard to show her some good attention but, I guess it is just hard. Katie can be kind of strong about what she wants and she is clingy and I do not think that Lizzy is used to either one of those things. I think it will be fine, given a little time. It has only been 1 week so far. It amazes me that Katie has been through so many changes in a week. I guess I need to remember so has Lizzy. Ben and Noah seem unaffected and I guess they still assume the world revolved around them. Noah starts kindergarten next week and I can hardly believe it. He is so cute and he is doing great with his alphabet, Thanks to Big Mama for helping. Well, the next week will be a busy one. Wish us luck.
