Happy 16th Birthday!
Alena opening a box from home...it was supposed to be a surprise, but a little somebody (who is in all the pics with Alena) couldn't keep a secret and told her earlier today!What a beautiful, happy smile!
Apparently, her family thought we would not provide any candy or chocolate because they sent TONS of it! :)
She enjoyed all the goodies and gifts from her family back home.
We went up to the High School today to get all signed up and registered only to find out the counselors were unavailable until tomorrow....So, tomorrow, she gets to pick classes!
We went to Rock'n River (local waterpark and pool) this afternoon and then had a birthday dinner with Ken's parents and my sister. Quite a busy day!
On another note, we will have many guest writers in this blog.....Emily wants to write, Alena wants to write...I'm hoping other family members will choose to write here as well so we can have a balanced chronicle of our adventures together.
Alena is so very sweet and kind and is a wonderful addition to our family! We are so lucky to have her with us for this time!

That is so sweet. I hope she had a happy birthday and gets some good classes.
Soooo... what are you going to do when she wants to go on a date?
Jennifer, yes, I read your blog too and opened up my comments....now, no word verification!
If she wants to go on a date, I'll let Ken handle it the same way he plans to handle our girls....he will scare the pants off the poor boy first! :)
