Well I had grand plans of a blog entry summarizing our first week together, then one when we hit two weeks, somehow we are on day 17 today. We have basically been in survival mode the last couple of weeks trying to figure out how to do the very basics of life and adjust to each other all in the midst of sickness and serious sleep deprivation. There has been a lot of steps forward with a few steps backwards(which is to be expected). Health wise we seem to be getting on track - Saraphina and Olivier had gotten over their congestion although Olivier's cough seems to have come back a little and his nose is still pretty yucky although he is teething all of his 1-year molars - Jacob got strep throat last Monday and then his illness induced asthma kicked in but we seem to be over all of that now. I (Jen) have finally gotten 3 nights of decent sleep and feel much better, it's amazing how much some sleep can help. All that being said we still have a lot of adjustment and bonding ahead but feel a bit more ready to tackle it.
I will try to write more as I get a chance but want to thank everyone for their prayers. We have really been carried through on those prayers the last couple of weeks and are more thankful for them than we can put into words!

John, Jennifer and family,
Yes, sleep certainly helps - so glad that you are finally getting some :o) And glad that all three children are healthy again! Photos that Marge shared are precious - beautiful family! Prayers continue for all of you.
Love, Marlene Bettin
