All play and no work




Well Darina is loving play time but she isn't so crazy about working on using her right hand and leg. The poor girl is pooped by the end of our visits each day since she's probably getting 10 times the exercise she normal gets. We are pretty tired ourselves after playing all day with a very active three year old. But, we are just falling more and more in love with her each day. She brings us so much joy despite all the catch up we are having to do with her. It's such a miracle to watch her learn and grow every day and we know that God has great things planned for her life.

After our visits with Darina we were invited to go to dinner with Emma and her family. Little did Emma know that this dinner was really a surprise party for her! So, we joined the party and met some nice new friends and then went to Emma's apartment for coffee. It was a late night for us...9:30!

We will hopefully have our court hearing by Thursday. Keep praying!


We tried to get a group shot but Darina was distracted.


Waiting patiently for us to get her coat on so we can go outside.



Little Darinka walking! The caretakers at the baby house call her Darinka as a nickname. She is a very popular little girl amongst the staff there.


Precious little face


I tried to put this hair band in her hair on one of the first visits but she was having none of it. Now she loves it and it looks so adorable. She looks so grown up!

I finally got her to look at the camera! She is way to busy to take pictures.
