Gymnastics
We have been going to gymnastics now for about a month, every Friday from 10-11. This is a Mommy/Daddy and me class, but hopefully by April they will be moved into a Tiny Tot class. As far as skill they are ready to move, but as far as listening and following directions we need a little work. :)
They are both really enjoying it. I think Isaac is really doing great and has improved so much since our first class. Hadleigh likes it a lot too and she is very good and very strong. However, she wants to do WHAT she wants to do WHEN she wants to do it. Imagine that!

Adoption Tax Credit-Makes a Difference!
Please contact your state representative and your senator and urge them to pass H.R 213 in support of the adoption tax credit. Even if you are not planning to adopt, please support adoptive families and advocate for orphans by contacting your representatives in Congress to voice your support for this bill.
For many families, this adoption tax credit makes all the difference in the world. And, when there are 147 million orphans in the world just waiting for a family, any extra financial help we can give families who are willing to bring another child into their family is SO WORTH IT. There are so many people that are willing, but financial barriers keep them from pursuing adoption- and that is WITH the tax credit. I fear that many more children will remain orphans if we don't continue to provide financial help to adoptive families.
For 2010, the tax credit for adoption is $12, 170, but this tax credit is set to expire in 2010 unless Congress votes to continue it. I'm afraid with all the other more high profile issues facing the Congress, this will slip through the cracks. But, YOU CAN HELP. Please call or write your Congressional Representatives and encourage them to pass The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act of 2009, H.R 213.
It only take a few minutes for you to write or call your representatives, but they need to hear from those of us who are impacted by the tax credit and a broad spectrum of others who support the tax credit becoming permanent.
Write your U.S. Representative.
Write your U.S. Senator.
Thank you for your support of orphans and adoptive families in this way! And, please, spread the word to your families and friends!
