another long weekend!!!

You would think that by now, we would be used to them. We were hoping to get pictures today and to hear the final word on our adoption. It is 5:30, and as of 2:00, our lawyer in Guat. hadn't heard anything. So, as the same story goes, we get to wait another weekend to find anything out.

Alex got her report card today and we couldn't be more proud of her. She got perfect scores on just about everything, except listening skills, (no suprise there hehehe). She is a full grade above grade level now. I treated her to a pet dog from target with a carrying case. She is very excited. A few weeks ago, Gareth took the kids to the Women's Basketball game at the Univ. of Maryland. They were playing Duke. Alex was so excited when she came home and said that she wanted to go to college to play basketball now, not be a Doctor. We had to inform her that although those girls plays basketball, they do study other things as well. Then she proceeded to ask me if she should go to Maryland or Duke. I told her that both schools required her to get really good grades and to study really hard. Today as we were going over her report card, she said, "If I keep this up, I can go to college and play basketball." too cute. I know what most of you are thinking. We have no idea where she has gotten this fixation with basketball, Gareth and I know nothing about basketball and neither of us have ever played it, but now that she is playing it, it is all she talks about. i think she has found her passion.
