waiting....
So, Obviously we made it home. I missed my kids so much, but the very next day Hope, my husband, and I got a horrible bug and were in bed throwing up and hurting for 2-3 days. It has been a looong few weeks. We have all the dossier papers needed for our court dossier except my accountant letter and state criminal record clearance . I'm really hoping for those today and tomorrow. It is so hard relying on other people for things of importance in your life. Oh well, I'm just glad we have someone to write the accounting letter for us, I know alot of people are struggling with that.
It's starting to get hard being away from Mila. Iv'e had a lot of things to consume my time and thoughts, but the past few days have been a little hard. I saw someone on facebook post "I just love the holiday season" and I seriously said out loud "What is she talking about?" I mean I guess I knew it was November, but I've been so consumed with trying to get her home that I just forgot it is the holiday season. This is my favorite time of year. The autumn holiday time (Christmas...not so much) so.... I'm not going to let this time pass me by worrying about things that I cannot control. It will all happen in due time, when it is supposed to. I have so much to be thankful for.
Don't waste time worrying about something that you can't do anything about. I need to remember that. It makes life so much more fulfilling and enjoyable.
I'm just gonna pray that the last document arrives ASAP:)
It makes it alot easier knowing my sweet baby girl is in good, loving hands.

Bittersweet
We are packing to head home.
The time change really messed me up blogging wise. I meant to blog every day.....
It is bittersweet today. I am sooo excited to see my kids. I cannot wait to hug them. At the same time, I have to leave someone that I absolutely fell in love with. It gives me great comfort knowing how much her caretakers love her. She is very well taken care of. They show her our pictures everyday, and they have assured us that they will let her know everyday that we love her and are coming back for her. I cannot post a long post, We have to pack for the airport. I have been informed we may be delayed at JFK due to weather, so I will post again if delayed. Here are a few recent pictures from the last 2 visits.
She makes the most beautiful faces! Her smile swallows up her whole face!!!
She LOVES daddy's hat. When we visit her she takes it immediately, puts it on her head and keeps it there the rest of the visit. We had to leave it there for her.
She also likes passing items back and forth by mouth. She kept wanting us to take the toy out of her mouth with ours. She would laugh sooo hard. below Gary is taking her little toy .. She thinks it is hilarious
Mila is an absolute angel. We cannot get back fast enough!!!

mommies
Every little one should have a mommy. Sometimes mommies are taken from us at an early age, sometimes they are with us at a very old age. I don't know if she was ever been rocked, or sang to by her birth mother. I hope that she was, though chances are, she was not. I was told yeaterday that she has never had a visitor.
She has a mommy now. One that loves her more than she will ever know. One that adores her "disability" One that loves the things about her physically, that others cannot accept. A mom that will always see her potential, and her intelligence. One that will love on her when she gets sick, or has a bad dream. A mommy that will tell her she can do it, and clap for her when she finally does. I don't know how I will ever leave her on Friday. I know that Heavenly Father will not keep us apart for too long. She needs me. I need her.
