And we have become.....

Americanized!  I think we can finally say that Carys and Chandler are true siblings in this American family.  Yesterday I caught them sitting on the couch fighting over my iphone!  Just the fighting part is a huge improvement which may seem weird to say but Carys would not fight over anything.  Being use to life in the orphanage, she accepted what was taken away from her without a sound or even a sad look.  Now she is definitely trying to defend her claim.  Although in this case...my iphone...Chandler is way to strong for her to take anything away from him.  One day last week, I heard one of my older boys say, "mom, get Carys, she is in my way."  That was the first time they have not been completely enamored with her.  But I have to say I love it. WHY?  Because it means that we are actually becoming a normal family again.  All brothers and sisters!
     The "babies" have now been in the USA for 1.5 months and they can even use the phone appropriately.   Chandler will put it
up to his ear and say "hello"  while I have found that Carys can start the music going from my itunes...I have no idea how she does that!
