What's going on with the Burgers?
I looked at our blog the other day and realized it was very neglected! I sorted through some pictures and picked the ones that I wanted to post. We do not currently have Internet at our home so I have to remember to bring my memory card with me in order to post, which is also why it has been so long. We are all doing well. Savannah is entering the 8th grade in less then 2 weeks. She is a bit nervous but I know she will do well and will be a help to the incoming 7th graders because that is her personality. Riley is getting ready to enter the 5th grade with much enthusiasm. Amelia, Alexis and Alicia are more then ready to return to school as 2nd graders. They have missed their friends and especially their teachers who they are lucky to have for another year. We are settling in to our new home very well. I enjoyed a trip to Utah in June. I was able to catch up with some adopted family members and dear friends while I was there. I enjoyed the dry air and lack of mosquito's, but returned to Vermont with a warm welcome from both. It has been a long and a short summer. I haven't been able to spend as much time with the kids as I had hoped. We are all at least a little excited for school to begin again in less then 2 weeks.
The progress of the landscaping and the finished bedrooms down stairs
Our home from the front!
There are 3 big flat rocks stood up set in a semi circle near the drive way that give the yard a distinctive look!

Spring concert at Jay/Westfield Elem.
The three girls enjoyed singing with their class. They are in the pink dresses scattered in the front row. One of the songs they sang was the pop song One Two Three Four. I will always remember them singing that song when I hear it on the radio because even though there was a gymnasium full of people Amelia sang the song directly to me! "there's only one way, two say, those three words, four you, I LOVE YOU!"
We had the honor of hearing Riley sing with both his class and the choir. He sang some amazing songs!
Riley also had the privilege of singing in a choir in Feb. for the North East Music Festival. Each school chose students to attend and Riley was one from his school that was asked to participate. We were not sure he was going to attend. His music teacher was disappointed that he might not although understanding the anxiety issues. After arranging for me to be there with him the entire day and night, he was able to attend and did a spectacular job! I was so PROUD of him!
End of school-year recognition.
Alicia recieved recognition for her skills in expressive writing.
