Since Ava loves crafts so much we bought her a kids stain glass (plastic) sun catcher kit. She loved it! She's going to fit in great with all our family and friends who are so crafty! I keep thinking that one of these days we wont have enough pictures to post to the blog but we always seem to get a good amount of them.
Ava is continuing to bond with us so well. We couldn't have asked for a better situation in that area. She lights up when we walk in and gives us hugs and smiles when we leave. We can see her motivation and confidence growing as a result of her trust in us. She is such a joy and we can't wait for everyone to finally meet her.
We miss home terribly and think of everyone back home constantly. Thanks for those of you who purchased bags. The women are very grateful.


April showers bring May flowers

We love that everything is getting so green.

Ava is so happy to be outside without her coat or jacket on!

Picking at these flowers means purple hands for Ava.

She knows the perfect place to dump all that sand.

Peeking to see if anyone is hiding in the shed

Lately she has built and climbed on this little contraption for a perfect view of her movie.

Something we love about Ava is that she "gets us". James and I are kind of a goofy pair and she just seems to fit right in.
