two peas in a pod...


Alvaro at 12 years old!

the similarilies between these two are so heartwarming!
I know he is exactly where he is meant to be but sometimes my heart aches because I know Olena would love to have a brother in her life....I wish we could do that for her! :(   I can't even imagine life without her, it can bring tears to my eyes thinking about it, but also I can't help to wonder and smile about how I think these 2 would be together growing up...in a loving home of course.  She is such a little a bugger and that poor boy would have his hands full that's for sure!  LOL
I am extremely grateful for what we get, pictures and updates about him are more than I could have ever hoped for.  xoxox Alvaro.

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.

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
