School Home~

All of a sudden, SJ has taken a big interest in doing school.
Yesterday she said, "Mom, I want to do school home."
aka~ Home School
I pulled out a few mazes and she worked for a long time on them.
She couldn't wait for her Baba to get home to see her work.


She has a very long attention span and will work as long as I am willing.
Today she worked a good 45 minutes tracing letters and names
I wrote with a highlighter.
She's very diligent and learning SO fast!!!
So proud of my baby! :)

Need a Will Fix?

Facebook is a wonderful thing at times~
especially when a family posts that they are about to fly
to China for their little girl @ Philip Hayden Foundation
where Will lives.

Yep, that happened and I immediately sent Gayle a message
that our Will was there.
Asked her to blow him a kiss while she was there.

Well, she did WAY more than that!!!
You guessed it~ PICTURES!!!!! YAY!!!

Gayle actually sat on the floor and played with our baby~
This is what Gayle shared~

Quite honestly...the pictures we took of him are not the best...we were trying to be discreet as the ayis were there and Sara said that they do not yet know about Will being adopted and we couldn't talk about it or make it obvious.

I have sent this picture separately because it is my favorite...i didn't notice the sweat coming down on his face, or I would have wiped it for him! He is such a sweet little boy with a quiet disposition, but slowly we 'made friends' and he was happy to play blocks with me/us. I was showing him how to blow his tower over and he loved that! This picture is of him holding up his tower...this was his 'proud little smile' as he held it for the picture. I truly cannot wait to follow your journey of bringing him home...i am excited to watch him bloom and open up as he is loved on by your amazing family!!

Thank you SO much Gayle for loving on our son

and giving us this precious glimpse of him!!!

More pics of Will's house and PHF to come. :)
