Update

So not a lot new but I will fill in the blanks for the last month.  The kids are loving school and learning Portuguese   Lainey is learning quickly mostly because no one in her class speaks English but the other kids are learning too.  Lainey wont speak to us but her teacher says that she speaks to her and to the other kids.  Cooper says everyday that he can walk himself to class and he gets so excited when we see his school that he starts running toward it.  Then at the end of the day when we ask him about his day he says "it was bad I was missing you the whole time."  Its nice he misses still and he says that he says"but everything thing else was great."  Andrew has made a really good friend named Lucas and he speaks some English which has been really nice for him.  School for him has been a work in progress we have had to ask the school to do more than they have been.  I have been doing some homeschooling stuff with him just to make sure he isn't missing stuff for 5th grade.  Overall school is turning out great for all 3 of them and I think makes this experience even better for them.
At the end of September Andrew had a big swim competition and he did wonderful, he really swam hard and ended up with two gold medals and in the 3rd one he disqualified.  That was hard to swallow for him and me but we don't quite know all the rules for swimming yet and he is looking at that as a learning experience.  I will post some pics from the last month including the swim competition.
