Saturday Already!

Time is certainly flying! It is so hard to believe we have been home a week already. It has of course been very busy with Christmas, getting back to school, van to the garage, and watching Julianna learn and interact as if she has always been here. My mother remarked a day or so ago that it just seems like she has always been here. She is the biggest toad in the puddle! The boys love to make her laugh and games of tag and tickling are quite common. We put the tree up yesterday and got the lights on and she thinks that is pretty cool. It was interesting to me to say out loud that we were doing this to celebrate the birth of Jesus and know that in all of her four years she had never heard this. By next year I'm sure it will be just amazing at how far she has come. She is such a happy child and so obedient. Very little seems to upset her and she is very easy to please. The issue with the dog and cat has become a non issue. She loves them both and pets them readily. The cat seems to be more interesting, but he is quieter. It only took her a couple of hours to warm up to Grampie and Nana and I'm sure when they leave she will wonder why. Will post some new pictures soon.
