My Funny Girl

True Story:

Tonight after Zoya was watching her usual signing times before bed, I was carrying her upstairs. I yelled to Shawn, "Hey can you put her milk in the fridge?" No response. So I stopped and said, "It's on the couch." Still nothing. So I loudly say, "HELLOOOO??" He answers "Yaahhh". And then my sweet girl signs, "PAY ATTENTION." LOL I love this girl!

(These pictures were taken a week ago....as I look out my window now the snow is coming down like crazy and it's frigid....and my friend Shelly in Texas tells me it will be 80 there tomorrow...I can't even remember what it feels like to be warm!).

P.S. Those of you who've following for a while will remember SASHA. He was one of the kids in Zoya's groupa who we just fell in love with. He had a family at the time and then lost his family. Well friends, right now his family is on the overnight train in Eastern Europe on their way to meet him in a few short hours. They are also adopting Ana who I talked about in THIS POST (at the time we thought she was a boy). God is good and I am so happy to see those two children so close to meeting their forever families!!

Awakening

I just LOVE when I meet people who share the same heart for adoption! ERICA is a mama to two adorable children through the miracle of adoption. We initially met at church briefly and then found one another on the wonderful blogosphere! Her heart is beautiful and her desire to be an advocate for adoption is admirable. She recently hosted a series of posts on her blog called "Awakening" about women in the process or who have already adopted. She asked me to share our story as part of this series and I was more than excited about the opportunity.

So, hop on over to The Zerkles Blog and check out my post along with all of Erica's posts about her beautiful family!
