June 17th--Gary's bday
June 17th--We were able to celebrate Gary's birthday!
Poor Gary rode his motorcycle to work and the ride home was not fun. He came home in the pouring rain and he was freezing by the time he walked in the door. I think it took his whole party to get warm. It was Maria's first family birthday party! What fun!

1st ENT appointment
June 15th--Maria's 1st ENT appointment
Marsha took Maria to the ENT for an ear cleaning and a look at her middle ear. It was an adventure to say the least! The doctor called an extra helper in the help hold Maria down. After holding her down and listening to her scream for awhile the doctor finally determined that Maria would have to be put under an anesthetic for the procedure. This meant that we had to cancel Maria's upcoming audiologist appointment, as it was contingent upon today's exam.
Since the Dr. was unable to look in her ears he decided to schedule Maria for a surgery. He will clean out her ears and possibly insert tubes on July 7th.

Externship ends, Girls' school winding down
June 11th--Marsha's externship ends at Cayuga Medical. It was a very adventurous day, as she locked the keys in the car. The security guy drove her around to get a "tool" and then drove to her car. By this time it was pouring. The guy was determined to get the car unlocked and continued to get drenched. Marsha sat in the car talking to Gary and telling him that he most likely had better come pick her up! Finally the security guy gave up and drove Marsha back to the hospital front door. It made for some entertainment while waiting for Gary to pick her up.
June 13th to June 16th--Babysit our friends' kids. All the kids had a great time.
Macella is finishing up 7th grade. She finishes up with tests on the 19th. Kirstie is having a lot more fun at the end of the year. She has a field trip, spelling bee, play, bowling, SPCA visit, Tye dye day, career day, field days, and finally a 1/2 day on the 25th. Somehow I don't remember the end of 4th grade being so much fun! Both girls have been able to have friends over and have had a fun beginning of summer already!

Rochester Adoption Support Group June Meeting
June 6th--Meet with AWAA support group in Rochester. We presented a PowerPoint presentation about our adoption of Maria and our China trip. It was a small group, but so nice to introduce Maria to our friends of the past three years. They have been with us through all of our waiting. We have watched many of them bring their children home and continue to pray for those still awaiting their children.
