Interviews and Growing Girls

We have some pretty good news so far for our family. Earl has 2 interviews for D.O. schools already. He will interview in Kirksville, Missouri at the end of October and then he will interview in Chicago at Midwestern at the beginning of November. We are excited to have him go and hopefully he will get a few more in a few more weeks. I wish that I could go with him but I can't leave Sam right now and we really can't afford for me to go. When he gets in we'll plan on going together to find a place to live.
Anyway, I haven't posted in a while so I guess I should update things. Sam is sitting up really well now and she is desperate to be able to move around. It's amazing how much she can move from one place to another without being on her stomach or back. She just scoots along her bum. Much to my dismay, she will probably be crawling soon.
Nadya is so smart. She is writing the alphabet and pretty good at telling us what sounds the letters make. She is always asking what the letters say and I'm amazed at how much she picks up. She loves to read and play dress-up. She is a very good big sister and loves Sam.
Sam and Nadya now share a room. It was a rough week but it seems to be getting better slowly. I think Nadya likes to have someone in the room when she wakes up so that she can talk to Sam. It's fun to see them having fun together. Sam just loves to watch Nadya and she smiles so big when Nadya comes into the room.
So that's the update so far. The girls are growing so fast and I feel like I can't keep up. I'm sure most moms feel that way though.
