She is the best thing that ever happened to me.
She made me a mother.

She is beautiful.

She is sweet.

She is respectful.

She is responsible.

She loves God.

She loves her sibilings.
She loves to keep her room clean.
She loves to clean the entire house.
She loves to do laundry.

In Korea, Avah had 3 very loving Omma’s that she left behind in at her orphanage, AMSA. The orphanage sent her home with some gorgeous outfits and a cute new pair of Adidas shoes.

This is one of her dresses. Isn’t it gorgeous? I wasn’t sure how she would react. I am still waiting for the grieving and sadness to come from her. I realize some kids do not and this little girl is happy go lucky and oh so strong…

So I pulled this dress out for her yesterday morning.. She looked at it, at me… Then rattled off what I know had to be a cute little story about how her Omma’s had purchased for her. She grabbed it and says, “SeeEun-y’s, Nay?” meaning is this mine? I said, “Yes from your Omma’s.” she hugged and spun around!!!! Soo sweet!!

I never want to break her bond with those Omma’s. They are part of her life. They were all she knew for her Omma’s for 41 months of her life. They hold a special place in my heart as I know they do hers.

Okay I have been having a little issue with Mia acting out… Not just since Avah came home but for like 6 months. She likes to use not so nice words.. Like dumb.. Stupid or shut up… She is not allowed but has heard them a d wants to use them. I say no.
So it’s a battle… Every day.
I’m hormonal.. My hubby is gone. And yesterday was the most stressful day yet.. Up half the night. I was stressed.
However… Today was a new day.
Yes a new day of playing… Giggling… Sharing… Watching a movie… Holding hands… A really awesome day.

Sooo cute. Holding hands without being prompted.

Strapped their babies on And said they were going shopping.:)

While Kenny has been gone… Chloe and I have been here aNd have had friends over. My friend Tina and I have been sewing and sewing!!

I am at Panera taking a breather. Since I wifi I decided to post the photos that didnt make the blog…because they are HILARIOUS!!!! I do love these kids!!

 A little crooked smile….

 Too cute smile….

 An okay mom I have had enough smile…..

 Blake was hilarious..mom not only can I not breathe…I can not see.

 She is a hoot….

 Get off me kid….

Too hot…hurry up smile

My absolute favorite…this about sums it up!!!! LOL!!!

Organization must exist. Blake and Camye are my little girl helpers. Like Huge Helpers!!!! But they like to swim(little girls dont like to swim without mommy) And just be kids! And I want them too! So while those big kids are swimming.. I must keep these two little girls from competing… Meaning eating the most cookies, pushing the DVD player on the most, sitting in the same spot, sitting on my lap and taking up the most room… And the list could go on and on…

So while Blake, Camye and Paul are having a blast swimming… Chloe is repacking for camp for the umpteenth time.
I pulled out the 123 and ABC puzzles and this entertained for about 30 minutes!! I love Target dollar deals!!

This is huge!! Now granted they were at seperate tables and they needed help!! But they sat and played!!

Currently Reading…Proverbs and Acts
Currently listening too…my husband eat Tortilla chips…
Currently waiting for…God to take my hand and lead me.
Currently dreaming of….a clean house.
Currently excited about…my friends Amanda and Tina who are adopting.
Currently overwhelmed with…my messy house
Currently praying for…Cora….
Currently missing….dates with my hubby.
Currently trying…to get my house cleaned
Currently working at…losing 25 pounds!!!
Currently hoping for…a date!!
Currently enjoying…quiet time.
Currently wearing…striped pajama bottoms and an adoption tshirt
Currently thankful for…great friends..who totally get the adoption world. It is a lonely lonely place to be. I am so thankful for friends who just get it.

Not so fluffy..kind of depressing. Ignorance is bliss….

Lots of fun with Daddy!
