<br />
What is this you ask?!?!? <br />
<br />
Potty Training!!!!<br />
<br />
I honestly can not remember a thing about potty training Brady or Maddie. Blake already had the skill mastered by the time he came home so I feel like such a novice. Boston used the potty chair for the first time on Sunday (July 10th). He seems to enjoy the party that takes place each time he uses it so that is a great thing. But....<br />
<br />
He NEVER took off his diaper on his own before Sunday. Now he takes off his clothes and diaper by himself. What is the problem with this?!?!? He did this at bed time and put the diaper in the closet and peed on the floor yesterday!We definitely have out work cut out for us!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524018893593294945noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062588197386332580.post-200230275535215362011-07-07T08:58:00.000-05:002011-07-07T08:58:48.788-05:00More Fun in the SunJust for the record our puppy Sabaka is gaining a half a pound a day! in less than one month he gained 10.2 pounds. The vet says he is going to be a big dog!<br />

June 17th was my last day reporting to the office. Justin hosted a happy hour with some of our friends that evening. It was our first date night since March and it was a blast. He also surprised me with gorgeous flowers and a cute cake that read "To new beginnings...Love, Your family!" <br />

Both of us worked all day but we did line up a surprise for the family that evening. We had been promising Madison that we would get a puppy after we returned from Russia – then it was after dad got done with planting – and then it was after school got out. She finally had enough of our stalling tactics. She was set on getting a German Sheppard. She wanted either a purebred or a mix it didn’t matter. We all agreed that we were not going to spend a whole lot of money on a purebred puppy as the most loyal dogs Justin and I have ever had have been mutts. The kids have never had a puppy. Annie came to us at the age of about 2 years. On Sunday evening, Madison was hounding us again about the dog so Justin thought he was going to send her on a wild goose chase and had her look at the pet listings on Macomb.com. Wouldn’t you know it?!?! There was an ad for purebred German Sheppard puppies in a neighboring town that turned 6 weeks old on the 5th and were able to be released on the 6th (yesterday – our anniversary!). We called the number listed and left a message. I warned Madison that because they are purebred that either there may not be any puppies left OR they may cost a lot of money and we wouldn’t get one so she shouldn’t get her hopes up. <br />
<br />
Well as you can see they DID have puppies left. They are purebred German Sheppards but they are not registered and didn’t have papers (which was perfect because we didn’t care about that and they weren’t outrageously expensive). The entire litter was males. Two were all black and the remaining 4 were black and tan. <br />

After a 30 minute or less hearing, the judged granted our petition to be the parents of Blake David Overstreet. He has been a great blessing to our family. One thing that he has wanted for quite some time is to be a big brother. He wants to be big big he tells us. Well today, I sit in Moscow with his little brother Boston waiting to bring him home and make Blake’s wish come true. You will be a great big brother Blakey! We love you so much. <br />
<br />
Here are just a few things these brothers have in common so far...<br />

On one hand it seems as though he has been with us forever and on the other hand it seems like just yesterday we were meeting him for the first time. He is such a joy to be around. He never stops smiling unless he is fake pouting which lasts for about 30 seconds. He is still skinny as can be, but he is getting taller. He loves to eat healthy food like fruits, vegetables, and salads. He isn’t a big fan of anything of fried. But his favorite thing ever is chocolate! He could be classified as a chocoholic. <br />
<br />
His biggest goal in life is to be big. He wants to be big like his daddy. Going with Justin in his truck is one of his favorite things to do. He loves to help all of us. If he can be helping others he is happy as can be. He will start kindergarten in the fall. We feel there are still some delays that he is working through. He is in speech therapy and he has come a long way. Anything concrete, like tying shoes, sorting, building, working with his hands, he excels at. His attention to detail is impressive. We do see him struggling with things that are more abstract. Letter/sound associations for example just don’t seem to click with him. There are several skills that we are working on that he doesn’t pick up on as quickly as we would expect. But I think that at some point something is going to ‘click’ and it will all fall in to place. <br />
<br />
He speaks very little of Russia. Actually until a month or so ago he never really said anything about it. Now that we are talking everyday about going to get his little brother, I think there are some memories that are being stirred up. We had the following conversation last week and again this week.<br />
<br />
Blake: Mom, I don’t want to go to Russia.<br />
<br />
Me: Blake, you don’t have to go to Russia if you don’t want to go.<br />
<br />
Blake: Not ever, I don’t want to go to Russia.<br />
<br />
Me: Ok, buddy. You don’t ever have to go back if you don’t want to.<br />
<br />
Blake: What about Boston?<br />
<br />
Me: Daddy and I will go get Boston.<br />
<br />
Blake: Will Boston have to go back?<br />
<br />
Me: No, he will not have to go back if he doesn’t want to go back.<br />
<br />
Blake: Good.<br />
<br />
Me: Why don’t you want to go back to Russia?<br />
<br />
Blake: Do you remember that bad teacher?<br />
<br />
Me: No, buddy. I don’t remember a bad teacher. What do you remember?<br />
<br />
Blake: Remember there was lots of yelling and I covered my ears?<br />
<br />
Me: No, I don’t remember that. Do you want to talk about it some more.<br />
<br />
Blake: Remember there was lots of yelling and I covered my ears?<br />
<br />
Me: Nope. I wish I could remember for you. Do you remember anything else?<br />
<br />
Blake: No. I just don’t want to go back.<br />
<br />
Me: We love you so much and you never ever ever have to go back buddy.<br />
<br />
We always want him to feel comfortable to share his stories with us. I just wish we knew more about the first 3.5 years of his life so we could help him fill in the gaps a bit. I can't imagine life without him in our family!<br />
<br />
This weekend we are heading to Brady’s state swim meet. He is swimming the 50 freestyle portion of a medley relay. I hope to update pictures soon!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524018893593294945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062588197386332580.post-1413667636885401582011-02-21T08:13:00.000-06:002011-02-21T08:13:48.045-06:00Contact me...I want to clean up the readers list on this blog before we leave for Russia (hopefully sooner rather than later!!!!). Within a month or so from being home we will stop blogging on The Overstreet Journey Continued and just continue our family blog here. I can only have 100 readers added to the blog list so I wanted to delete any accounts that are no longer reading. If you are seeing this message :o) and would like to continue to read the blog just leave your first and last name in the comments below or email us at <a href="mailto:jnhoverstreet@yahoo.com">jnhoverstreet@yahoo.com</a><br />
<br />
I will leave this message up for two weeks and then do the clean up (March 7th). <br />

We met in Galesburg at the Packing House and had dinner with his family. We love getting together with our families! Justin's cousin made this awesome cake. It not only looked great, but with the hazelnut cream filling it was delicious too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Along the bottom of the cake, there was red, blue, and white edible poker chips. Of course as soon as the first person ate a blue one, Brady, Sydney, and Maddie thought they needed to have one too!

We decided to go ahead and make it Blake’s kindergarten physical while we were there. He had to get three shots and he was such a tough guy! He is 41 inches tall and whopping 35 pounds fully clothed. We were all healthy and feeling fine. Of course later that evening I began to feel horrible and my throat has been killing me. I am sure we picked up something from the doctor’s office!<br />
<br />
Also this weekend we attend the visitation and funeral for Justin’s great Aunt Grace Cochran. She was 98 years old. It is a blessing that she no longer has to suffer. The funeral was nicely done and I loved hearing stories about her generosity to others.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524018893593294945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062588197386332580.post-64756408726244063152011-01-09T19:12:00.000-06:002011-01-09T19:12:14.124-06:00Our twin neice and nephew!I know that we are a little biased, but I have to tell you that my twin niece and nephew are the cutest ever! We can't get over how sweet they are. We are happy that they are both healthy were able to come home with my sister this weekend. They were welcomed home by their big brothers Dawson and Dalton! What a great edition to our expanding family!<br />

Ussuriysk Baby Home Number 3 is in the middle of Ussuriysk City which has a population of several thousand people. Artem Baby Home is outside the town of Artem in a village which appears to be in the middle of nowhere. It took us 45 minutes to drive to Artem when visiting Blake. Because of the icy roads, it took us 2 to 2.5 hours to get to Ussuriysk. Artem’s Baby Home is larger and houses 120 children while Baby Home 3 in Ussuriysk houses 80 children. The director of Artem deals more with the business side of things and did not appear as hands on as the director in Ussuriysk. The Ussuriysk director is also a doctor and an adoptive mother and seemed very involved with the children. <br />
<br />
<u>Black American</u><br />
On our second visit at the baby home, Lana – our interpreter – knock on the staff’s door to let them know that we had arrived. Lana began to chuckle. She said the workers had asked if she brought a Black American couple to visit today. They do not see very many African or other dark skinned people in Vladivostok. The only other ethnicity that can be seen besides Caucasian is Asian. They are very interested in other ethnicities and think it is intriguing that the US is a melting pot of people. We smiled at Lana and said we were sorry to disappoint them but we were not Black Americans.<br />
<br />
<u>Tori Hannsen</u><br />
That is the name (maybe not spelled correctly) of the lady that sent her adopted son back on an airplane by himself in April. While this is a private blog, I won’t say much as there is nothing ever truly private on the internet. But while in Russia it was very interesting to hear another point of view on this situation. We had never even thought of a possible ‘conspiracy theory’ surrounding that situation. Very interesting.<br />
<br />
<u>Strollers</u><br />
For those that have been in Vladivostok, you know that you must bundle up your child to go outside. Even in weather that many of us would wear a sweater or light jacket, it is expected that children wear winter hats and mittens. In the winter babies are bundled up very tight and then put in carriages that have wool lining. It struck me as funny that at the Vlad Inn couples would park the carriages outside the restaurant in front of a window. They would leave the baby outside and come in to eat. It was probably 15 degrees outside. Granted the baby had to be warm and I am sure they didn’t want to go through the trouble of unbundling them, but I still just couldn’t get over the idea of leaving a baby outside while going in to dine.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524018893593294945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062588197386332580.post-21747180815395133312010-12-01T15:31:00.002-06:002010-12-02T09:29:54.919-06:00Blake’s RussiaFirst of all today is Justin’s birthday! All five of us are planning to go to dinner and do some last minute shopping for things we need for our trip. <br />
<br />
Prior to about 3 or 4 days ago Blake appears to have no recollection of Russia. Well, maybe I should say he has had zero interest in taking about Russia at all. If we ask him is he remembers various things or if we show him pictures from our time there he just changes the subject or looks at us like we are completely insane. The other night Justin and I were looking for some papers in the office and came across the album we took to court. We were flipping through the pages and Blake came in. We showed him the pictures. He saw one of him and Justin and pointed to Justin. Here is how the conversation went…<br />
<br />
Blake: “What is your name?” <br />
Justin and I exchanged a puzzled look.<br />
Justin: “What do you mean, what is my name?”<br />
Blake repeated himself: “What is your name?” <br />
Justin: “My name is Daddy”<br />
Blake: “Papa, your name was papa and now it is daddy.”<br />
<br />
Justin and I were speechless. This is the very first time Blake has made any reference to Russia at all. It took us by complete surprise. And then yesterday when we were talking about Russia to Madison, Blake piped in and said “My Russia? You goin’ to my Russia?” It will be very interesting to see what develops of the next several months. Thankfully Blake is very excited to have a new family member – especially one that is smaller than him!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524018893593294945noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062588197386332580.post-82894068464618476262010-11-16T07:47:00.000-06:002010-11-16T07:47:48.780-06:00Nov. 14, 2010 Brady's BaptismSunday was a very special day for us! Brady has been asking for quite some time to get baptized. He was able to explain all of his reasons why we should let him do it and he was full of emotion. We felt his heart was finally ready. It was an honor for Justin and I to have him ask us to be the ones that were in the water with him. I was very emotional. To see Justin baptizing our first born son was quite special. The day was made even more special by the family and friends that attended. It really meant a lot to Brady to have everyone there. After church we came back to the house and had pizza, cupcakes, and brownies to celebrate! It was a great day!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's funny how the jack-o-lanterns reflect each child's personality. Brady's pumpkin reads 'Let it rip' which is what you say before battling beyblades (these are toys that he and his friends - and Justin! are into right now).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
