Random Thoughts

Not much exciting going on this January, just the usual routine. Deiana's main focus is school and friends. School is a great social outlet for her and hopefully she is learning something in the process! I have been working on reading with her at home because I don't feel she is progressing as quickly as she is capable. We have cut back to just speech therapy at school and probably more private work this summer.
We are looking forward to a couple beach trips this winter/spring and a trip to Mexico in May. It will be Deiana's 3rd time to Mexico. We didn't go last year (Disneyland instead) and we really missed it.
This time of year we also start to reminisce about Ukraine and the whole overwhelming, life changing experience. Three years ago today was the day we sat in a small room in the SDA in Kiev, Ukraine and saw a tiny picture of a newborn baby with a cleft lip and wondered, is she the one??
She certainly is.
