Updates Home just over a year

March 24th was the day we landed in Bloomington and introduced Kole to his sisters right there in the airport. Our good friends met us with signs and balloons a real fanfare! We were tired and jetlagged and so happy to see Kali and Kaci. We had never been away from them for that long before.

I hadn't posted earlier because I wasn't sure what to post. There is our confusion still and some frustration. there are happy moments and not so happy moments. Today was a good day as was yesterday that followed a day of inappropriate touching. I made our oldest daughter sad this evening. Kole was on my lap, a very rare occurrence I can assure you, and he was covering my mouth and giving me kisses on my cheeks. Kali advised she was not kissing me after he did and how could I let him touch me... Well, I pointed out to her that he was my son and her brother and that she did the same thing to me when she was little. Well, if struck her how ridiculous it sounded to her. This of course followed an incident at school when a boy who has always been a very nice kid told Kali "Why don't you go back to China?" For no apparent reason. The school handled it famously and so did I, I think.
I put the kids to bed and Kole was happy going to bed and both girls were in tears. One because she is still heartbroken the other because she doesn't get enough daddy time with Kole hanging on him all the time. And the Dad likes Kole better.... and on and on... I guess you could say things are normal, but it sure will be nice when Kole grows on his sisters and at times us too. We like him well enough, but still the warm fuzzies have not overcome us. I thought they would by now. At first I was feeling guilty about it, but I wasn't really doing anything about it. Now I find I need to do something about it and move forward on bonding with this child that deserves no less. He at least is trying now which is more than he was trying to do 6 months ago.

I don't have any new pictures this time just a rambling along with thoughts and happenings in our little world.
