September 2008!! What's happening now with our family? My next couple posts will be about two major events in our lives. The adoption of Mae, and Clara's wedding. After that, I'll try to keep things up to date. Mark and I have been busy remodeling our basement. It's coming along albeit slowly. Mark has worked in the city for the past year and loves working downtown, however, he will be starting a new position next week and will no longer be in the city. I have been trying to keep up with Mae. She sure keeps me on my toes! Clara and Josh have been planning their move to Chicago. They are very excited! The plans are starting to come together. They have secured an apartment and will be moving the weekend of September 27th. We sure will miss them, but wish them the best of luck. We're looking forward to visiting them and seeing Chicago. Megan is busy with work and school. She is a junior at UNCC this year and is doing great. She is a server for P.F. Changs as well. Somehow, she still finds time to volunteer for several organizations. She works close to us, so we get to see her often. Pamela graduated high school this year and started college last month. She is also a server, but at Kabutos. She lives in the apartment attached to our house. She helps a lot with Mae. Mae attached quickly to her "LaLa" while in China. I think it is safe to say that Mae has LaLa wrapped her finger! Mae will be 3 in October. She is doing great. She has come very far in the past (almost) 2 years. We are so fortunate to have her in our family!
