Happy Easter to everyone! Hopefully everyone enjoyed a beautiful day with family and friends. We finally some good weather so we couldn't have asked for a better day. The morning started with a basket from the Easter Bunny with some books, bubbles and puzzles as well as a 1 year pass to the Detroit Zoo! What a great gift!! Jason hadn't been there since he was a young boy, and I have never been lucky enough to go during the spring so we decided to put that pass to work and headed over for a day of lots of walking and some pretty cool animals. Olena was beside herself with excitement. We got to take the new wagon that Grampie bought her for xmas and we packed a picnic lunch. Since the weather was so perfect lots of the animals were out and active which is a far change from the usual scene we get during the dead of summer :( You'll see pics of our favorite part below...the Artic Circle where you get to watch the Polar Bears swim around the tube you are standing in. They are so amazingly graceful for such a huge animal. After 5 hours and tired feet from walking up hill every where we called it a day and spent the rest of the evening with family and friends ~ all in all we had a great Easter.

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.  

Being brave the best way she knows how.

Olena has a big issue with getting her nails clipped. This has been a problem since bringing her home and though it has improved a bit in four years, it is still a 45 minute fight just to trim her fingers and toes. She has never been hurt - she just has a problem with it due to her sensory disorder - she is extremely over sensitive when it comes to her feet or hands. I am cutting her nails the other day.... O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr
