A Weekend of Fun

We went to St. Louis over the weekend for some much needed family time.

God has some big plans for this big hearted little guy. We are blessed to be a part of them!

Initiations

Silas has been initiated. We had family worship last night and fixed the traditional popcorn/peanut M&M combo...and Silas loved it. It is a Bunn thing! He and I had a hard day yesterday, so it was so neat for me to see him participate and have so much fun.














Then, the other night (when mom was having some much needed time away), the kids played Kung Fu Panda and the furious four with daddy. The older kids are obsessed so it is only fitting that Silas participate too. If you are a bad guy, it is not safe for you at our house right now!







Silas also had his first haircut today. It didn't go well, but whose does?? :) Look at that handsome fellow!

Testing the Waters

This week has been tough as Silas is testing his boundaries. Professionals tell us that older kids will often test their adoptive parents to see if they are committed. All the other adults in their lives have been in and out, so they are trying to figure out if you are serious-if you love them. We are not sure if any of this pertains to Silas or if he is just being two! Our social worker gave us some great advice and encouragement yesterday, and we are very grateful for her wisdom.

I realized that I was so concerned about getting it right-about doing all the necessary things to bring Silas stability that we were missing out on him-just enjoying him. I actually tend to do this with all three kids. :)

Here are some fun bath time pics. Silas loves the water.

Silas likes to kiss on the mouth.
