SO sorry I have not been keeping up my blog! We have been SUPER-DUPER busy here in the Grabowski Household! Here's what we have been up to since our last post:
Happy Belated Easter (to those who celebrate) :) We geared the boys up for a wonderful Easter by taking them to not 1 but 2 Easter Egg Hunts the weekend before Easter! Our Easter was GREAT!!! The night before we dyed Easter Egg, the boys woke up to their Easter Baskets that were filled with Easter Candy, we had an Easter Egg Hunt (I will say that the Easter Bunny wised up this year and bought plastic eggs for the hunt, Thanks Hun for suggesting this b/c apparently the Easter Bunny forgot about what a 2 year old actually does with real Easter eggs!)...LOL :) We celebrated Easter in true Grabowski tradition with not eating once that day but we ate two Easter Celebrations at two separate houses :) We ate Breakfast at Babci and Dzydzyia (Ron's Mom and Dad, Babci and Dzydzyia is Polish for Grandma and Grandpa) and then we ate dinner later that evening at my Aunt's house. It was such an eventful day :) Luke truly enjoyed his chocolate bunny :) What shocked us all was that Ryan actually ate candy this year!!!
We had our 2nd post-placement report, can you believe that it has been close to a year since our court date? Amazing how time flies when you are having fun! Our Social Worker was SO impressed with Luke!!! I have to say we are too!!!
We celebrated Mother's Day yesterday :) I say we (meaning...Ron, Ryan, Luke and myself) b/c who would want to celebrate this holiday alone? Now, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with celebrating this holiday alone, such as I have a friend who has 5 children and every Mother's Day she celebrates this holiday alone, tells me it's her ONLY saving grace, but we celebrated our Mother's Day together. Ron and I were reminiscing about last year b/c we actually spent Mother's Day in a plane on our way to Russia to see Luke, have our day in court and became a family for the second time in our lives. So, YES, yesterday was an emotional day, at least for me :) Not to mention this week will be as well!!! Ron and I realized that Luke's and Ryan's court dates our 5 years apart, not exactly they are separated by 1 day...Ryan's court date 5/16/03 and Luke's court date 5/15/08 :) Pretty amazing, huh? Anyway, HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY to ALL :) Who would have thought that I would be a Mommy to not 1 but 2 WONDERFUL boys?!
Also, at the end of this week I FINALLY graduate from Rowan University!!! I tell everyone that I should have several different doctorates, in several different areas of study at this point...HAHA! I graduate on Friday, May 15, 2009, and we will be celebrating Luke's very FIRST "GOTCHA DAY"!!! Then, on Saturday, May 16, 2009, we will not only be celebrating Ryan's 6th "GOTCHA DAY" but as a graduation present my terrific hubby decided to surprise me with a vacation to Disney!!! I couldn't believe him!!! He was planning on telling at my graduation on Friday but I guess he forgot that I'm usually the one who gets the mail and that's how I found out we were going to Disney :) Too cute!!! That's Ron for you :)
Love & HUGS,
Jenny, Ron, Ryan & Lukie
