Where do I begin? This past month has been amazing! Trey has completely changed our lives and we are having so much fun with this little guy. We are also completely amazed by how much he is changing. It seems as though new English words are just flying out of his mouth each day. Each time that he uses a new word, we get SO EXCITED! He is definitely a sponge....soaking up everything that he hears and sees. Some of his newest words include:
* Apple Juice
* Breakfast, Lunch, Supper
* Counting to 12
* Starting to learn his ABC's
* Come Here
* Turn it off
* Milk
* Volleyball
* My name is Trey
A funny story is that yesterday we pulled up to a drive-thru and from the backseat, I hear "macchiato". Hmmmm.....do you think that he's heard me order a Carmel Macchiato from Starbuck's before? How funny is that? What a big word for him to remember!
A couple highlights from this week include:
* A trip to Marshan's (Kathy's friend) kindergarten classroom. Unfortunately, we got there a little late, so Trey only met some of Marshan's students. Nonetheless, we were able to visit with Marshan and explore her classroom. (Please note the picture of Trey and Marshan above).
* Getting a bike. Trey has been talking about a bike for a while. We were planning to wait until his birthday....but then realized that he could use it all summer if we got it now. Trey LOVES his bike! He doesn't go very fast yet, but he's getting pretty good at riding it.
Again, we marvel at how much Trey is changing and GROWING. It's getting harder and harder to pick this little dude up. He is growing like a weed (of course, he eats all of the time too). Actually, I should note that Trey ate pizza this week! He turned up his nose at pizza the first couple times he saw it. However, on Tuesday night, he tried it and loved it! Obviously, his taste buds are changing too.
It's been a fun journey! We look forward to many more months and years together.
Love and God's Blessings,
Shane, Kathy, and Trey

Wow! Hard to believe a month has gone by already! Trey is doing so well. Having a great Mom and Dad makes such a huge difference. What a blessing he is to you and you guys are to him. Keep in touch.
Hard to believe how much they change in just a month. Trey looks like one happy, happy guy!!
Love all the photos. Trey has the most handsome smile. His eyes just light up. I'm so excited all is going so well. It does sound like he's picking up on English quickly. I can understand the getting bigger too. Mine are like little sacks of taters now.
Glad you are doing well!
Oh my goodness - a month already! It will just keep on going this fast, by the way :)
I see that even with his scary mask on, Trey never stops smiling.
Trey seems to be doing so well with the transitions. And how have mom and dad done?
He looks like he is doing absolutely great! We are so happy for you guys. I love the pics witht he funny nose. He has such a kind face. It is exciting to see how God is in the business of redemption twice over in the lives of our adopted kids, amen?!
