Just an update for the folks who occasionally stop by. We've been home for almost 5 months now. I really wish I could call myself 5 months ago and show her these pictures. I might have chilled out a little. Anywho, we're all doing great. Surgery is over and done with and everything is looking great.
Brennan and I had a talk last night about why she didn't have any baby pictures, and why she wasn't with us when she was a baby. She's really mad we didn't get her sooner. For only speaking english for 5 months and only being 5 years old, she is really very emotionally intelligent and expressive. So I tried to tell and draw her story for her. When we got to the part where her birth mother took her to the orphanage her shoulders dropped and she said, "Well that's not cool." I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Resilient, brave and well spoken...all at age 5.
