I recieved a gift today...an email with pictures.

I feel

overjoyed

touched

a bit of sadness.

but most of all

THANKFUL!



thankful for this precious baby and the woman who holds her.


thankful for being the woman who now holds her close.


thankful for being her mother!






Olena Sergeivena K. age 5/6 months.

born to Olga and Sergei


I chose to crop the pictures but one of the best parts was the fact that in these pictures Olena is happy, Olga is happy, and she looks well taken care of.



The picture in my mind - was painted much differently.

The stories I were told were far off from what these pictures show me.


I am not naive, I know that there was much more to the first year of little girls life then a handful of gleeful pictures.




BUT


I am so blessed to have such a beautiful picture enter my mind now when I think of Olena as a baby!

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.
