Bekeh and Caleb, you've settled in and found your niche in the family. You aren't visitors, you aren't strangers, you're a sister, a brother, a daughter, a son, a Crazy Root - you're just fun filled life living little Texans.
The most exciting and eventful moment of this month was when a judge here in our County declared that you are now Citizens, Officially Texans, and full fledged card carrying members of the United States of America. Your adoption is now recorded in the hallowed halls of the State of Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics, your birthdays are now officially 04-22-07 and 05-05-05 and your names are now legally and forevermore Bekelech Eva Root and Caleb Wesley Dereje Root. YeeHaw!We spent several days with your cousins this month and it was so precious to watch the four of you together. Two from China, two from Ethiopia, but four cousins for the rest of your lives. You guys played non stop and giggled even longer. I could have never dreamed this beautiful picture in a million years just a short bit ago. God is amazing and His plans for our lives are unbelievable!
David and Shanna came into town with Kyle and we had a fun evening at Medieval Times. You guys loved the horses and all the loud cheering. Most of all you guys love Mr. David and Ms. Shanna, and they love you too. We can not wait for them to be matched with their son in Ethiopia so you guys can have another Ethiopian cousin in the family!
Daddy's highlight of this month was getting to take the two of you to your first live performance. We take your brothers and sisters to the theater all the time, and it starts young. You guys were thrilled to go to The Wiggles! Daddy said you two never stopped bouncing for a single moment! You were laughing and dancing and a delight for all those around you to watch. When you got home you couldn't talk fast enough to tell us all about it. I am so thrilled you had an exciting date with daddy. There will be many more to come.
School starts Monday. I'm a bit nervous about you starting Kindergarten Bekeh. But we've prayed about it alot and we know it's the best decision for you. It's still scary. I worry for you going so long without a nap, I worry about your teacher keeping up with your huge personality in a class of kids, I'm worried about you being behind, and being smaller than the other kids. It's just normal ol momma worries. I know you'll do great. It's going to be a great time for Caleb and I too. We're going to get to play together and really bond as mom and son while everyone else is in class. I can't wait. It's still over 100 degrees everyday here, so just because school is starting doesn't mean we won't still live in the pool the rest of the day. You'll love that too. It's you're favorite thing about living here! :)
