Still Here!

It's been almost 2 months since HG has been home and I have been AWFUL about posting here. I'm sorry! We're all hanging in there and doing as well as we expected.
1. Christmas was lovely. I don't know if HG quite understood it all, but she had fun nonetheless. The girls got a wii from Santa and we've had fun playing the different games together.
2. HG started preschool (where HV and HM went) in early January, going 3 days per week. She seems to enjoy it and asks each morning about going to see her teacher! She will increase to 5 days per week of preschool this month/February. We are checking into putting her into a spanish preschool part-time too. A speech pathologist that we consulted recommended that we do this since HG isn't speaking in spanish as she should for her age--she uses 1-3 words, not complete sentences--and since her dominant language is spanish, it would make sense to increase that too. There are several spanish preschools around us, but I do not know if they will accept her since she is technically the age for kindergarten here.
3. All 3 girls are doing gymnastics. Everyone goes on Monday evenings and has a blast. HM also goes on Wednesday evenings. We don't care if they are gymnastic superstars. We just want them to have fun and have some exercise.
4. The big girls are continuing with their swim team on Fridays and Saturdays too. Both of them are like fish. I think once HG realizes that the water in our back yard is for swimming, we will be in trouble with her! She will want to be in it all the time! She likes to "swim" in the bathtub.
5. FIVE--we're still adjusting to being a family of five. We knew it would take time--a long time--for it to seem normal. I would say that where we are today is where I expected we would be: everyone still testing the boundaries, checking to see where they fit in this new normal for us all. Little by little, we will get there.
I promise to be better about posting. When I got 2 emails saying that people were worried because I had not posted, I figured I had better get busy! I'll do better--promise!
