Another Busy week.

With Naomi being sick a week ago, things at home got a little behind. I have been trying to get caught up with laundry and general around the house cleaning with little success. Summer time is a hard time to stay inside and clean. Josiah has spent a lot of time outside playing in his sandbox, since Daddy filled it a couple of weeks ago and Naomi has been practicing her walking.
Last week Wednesday, Grandma came over bright and early to watch Josiah while Naomi and I headed for the Audiology department at Kosair Children's Hospital. We are getting to know the staff there very well. She had her hearing tested again. This time instead of being sedated and tested at the brain stem level, they put us in the sound booth and tested her response to sound. Once again she came through with flying colors. Her hearing is good, but will still need to be monitored until she is 5 years old. We will be back at Kosair in 3 months for another test in the sound booth.
Friday night we went to dinner with our friends that have adopted children from Korea. We went to Lee's Korean Restaurant. The food was really good and the company was too. Josiah made a new friend, Daniel that he talks about all the time. We will have to get together again soon with him.
On Friday around 10pm a very dear friend of mine arrived to spend the night. She was going to a wedding in Louisville on Saturday and needed a place to stay. I had a good time catching up with her. We did not go to bed until midnight and were just exhausted.
Saturday we went to breakfast with a couple from our church that are adopting a baby from Ethiopia. We spent time getting to know them and talking about our adoption experiences. We had a wonderful time and would love to spend more time with them. Since the week had not been busy enough for us we loaded up the kayak and headed to Derby, IN for the afternoon. Greg's family gets together at Uncle Bill's house every year for lunch, swimming and boating. We always have a great time at Derby. I learned to play washers for the first time and Naomi stayed up all day and refuse to nap. She was surprisingly cheerful for being so tired. We headed home after dinner with two very sleepy kids.
Monday our good friend the Zoeller's moved to Fort Wayne, IN. The moving van was at their house in the morning so I picked up their kids to come over and play with Josiah while everything got packed up. We are very sad to see them go, but at least now we will have a place to stay when we go visit.
Today Naomi had her 1st Steps 5 area assessment to see if she needs any therapy. The therapist that did her assessment said she would have the final results to us by Saturday. Her initial assessment is that Naomi has an expressive language delay and a mild fine motor delay. She will be evaluated by a speech therapist of our choice when all the paperwork is in. We will be having a therapist that we know from church do the evaluation. If you have any questions about speech and language delays take a look at her website.
