Rachel has embraced the camera. She merely hears the whir of the camera lens and she's all smiles with eyebrows raised. In fact, she's sometimes too fast to account for the camera delay. Might have to change it to the action setting permanently!
Denise thank you so much for your kind words. Your family is just adorable.!!! I have just been amazed at the special bond I feel with those who have adopted, you just want to shout it out what a blessing it gives YOU as the adoptee.
Thank you most wonderful Popham family for catching this moment! What a priceless gift. We are so thankful for you and our journey together. Huge hugs!
So today as I'm spending a few hours writing up our report for our 1-year post adoption appointment with our case worker, Rachel is off to the side "using her imagination". Such a proud Mommy I am. My little darling using that noggin to discover the next cure for the common cold, of course. So did I laugh out loud or what when Rachel started singing "Happy Birthday Mommy" and presented me with a special "cupcake". Yes, that is a half-eaten apple with a Nintendo DS stylus tucked in the top just like a candle. I've told my boys to keep their games out of reach...oops!
Rachel had no problem learning how to collect eggs. She just kept going and going like and Energizer Bunny. We attended our church's Easter Speggtacular at a local park. Our kiddos covered all 4 age groups, so we came home with over 200 eggs...seriously! That said, we had an impromptu egg hunt in our greenbelt with our neighbor friends! Rachel's new vocabulary word for the week is 'EGGS' with the obligatory exclamation point thrown in!
