I'm BACK! Sorry but no Internet connection for a few weeks :( but I have a few things to post and of course a few pictures.
We had a trip up North with my cousin and his family. It was beautiful, relaxing and a great time. We took a River Boat ride, had the perfect bonfire and the kids had a ton of fun.
Olena is doing great. We couldn't be happier with the way things are going. We struggle a bit with behavior and attitude issues but we are trying different parenting techniques - trial and error, and trying find what works best. We have been pretty successful and you can see that she is now trying too and putting in a bit more effort to behave and do what we ask the first time and doing it happily. It makes for a great home life and all of us are really enjoying each other right now. She is getting much more confident on the bike. She finally has the brakes figured out and doesn't have much trouble at all if any. She has had a few spills but handles herself great, gets up and gets back on. It will be a while before we will be able to take the training wheels off but oh well...she is having fun and that's what matters.
She had a great Halloween and she was very excited about being a Witch - and not just any witch, a BAD WITCH! My mom makes her amazing costumes and when we all went to look at patterns she was devastated because all we could fine where Good Witches. But finally, in one of the last books, there is was - the Wicked Witch of the West from Wizard Of Oz. We changed up the fabric a bit and made her a bit cuter - but she looked great! and she loved being a Witch for the night!
