Nina's first family drawing!

Happy New Year!

So we were talking about what word may define 2011...I said Hope...Jason said Joy..
Nina is still thinking on it.
We will begin this year eating pork since it's for good luck and welcome the new year with hope and the idea that good things will come our way.

Merry Christmas!

Nina made the nice list this year! She received a brand new bike!
She has become quite the little ham and loves to sing and dance for us!
She was in her first nursery school play and did awesome! She was not shy at all in front of the large crowd! We were so proud!!

This kid has talent!

Things are going well. We are in the middle of preparing our Adoption Homestudy.
It's very time consuming and very involved! We are on schedule to be in the books by January which feels like a million years from now!

Nina continues to do well in nursery school. She is making friends and loves her teacher. She is going to be Snow White for Halloween. She was reeval by PT last week so we'll see what comes out of that. They D/C her in July but I did not aggree and wanted her looked at so that's that.

The baby we lost in June was going to be due around this time so of course that is on my mind. My mom just went to see Jersy Boys over the weekend and I remember when she got the tickets months and months ago she told me not to have the baby until after the show! Yep... make plans and God shits on them...

Since we lost the baby in June, I have been gettng back in shape and running a lot which is great! My Avon is doing pretty well. We are using all the money made from selling for this Adoption so if you want some Avon, get it from me!!!

Check out my Nina beautiful Nina (her pose) in her new boots (still size 7!!)
Love it! She's a handful!

The changing table

So we have been clearing out stuff and put out the old changing table at the curb tonight. Nina wanted it back in the garage. She said that we still needed it, that Georgia and Livia will sleep in it.
I had to explain that they are in heaven.We talk about them a lot, but sometimes she'll bring them up in the most sweetest, most innocent way...

First Day of Dance Class!

Nina did great at her first dance class. It's 15 min ballet and 15 min of tap! It's really cute...
They let the parents watch the first class so I could take many pics and videos.
I am glad they do not let us stay b/c towards the end of class she started to want me and cry. Poor thing!

When the kids all lined up and the music started playing, I had to choke back tears. My itty bitty baby was taking dance! It was an overwhelming experience!
