oh yes I did.....

The other day Olena and I were driving down Woodward and she told me so sweetly from the back seat..."mommy, I really miss my great grandma and great grandpa" :( !!!
you know what kiddo? so do I.
We just happened to be on track to pass the exact place where they now rest, so we went for a visit.  And I just happened to have my camera in the car so I figured, the weather is great, the landscaping is nice so why not take a few practice pictures while we are here.  So that is exactly what we did.  We had a little sit down and catch up session with gma and gpa and then walked around for a bit.  We had a nice time reading and admiring some of the beautiful headstones and taking a few pics!
The headstone has only recently been put in place so this was my first time back since the funeral service, Olena's too.  I was pleasantly surprised to discovered that she found the moment "satisfying"  We left there with smiles and thinking about the good memories, instead of shedding tears about our loss!
I know they are always with us.  I feel them every day.  I just pray that she never loses the memory of their love for her.

Notice anything different?

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding.  She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out.  So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding.  Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head.  Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.  

Soon to be teenager!

We just celebrated our 11th Gotcha Day, this kid amazes me everyday.  She is doing fabulous in the 6th grade.  She currently has all As and 1 B.  She loves school and still loves to learn.  She struggles a bit with making friends, but she handles herself well, meshes great with the staff and the teachers and doesn't take any crap or bullying from anyone.  LOL!  She has had her fair share of issues, and has had to write out 50 Ways to be Respectful a handful of times and has been in the "warrior room" to work out conflicts more than once but she is loving, kinds, silly, strong and very self confident.
