Oh me! Oh my! I can't believe it has already been 4 months since my last post. Yes, I can be the slacker blogger, but I am extremely busy being mom to four (FOUR!) beautiful children! On November 23rd we picked up our beautiful daughter. I can say it has not been an easy road, but it has been sooooo worth it. She is an amazing little girl that is making huge strides in her independence.

Since coming home our schedule has been full of doctors appointments, specialist appointments, therapy sessions, dentist appointments, eye doctor, and a ton more. I had my first week without three appointments and wasn't sure what to do with myself.

Ciyana has a walker now and she flat runs everywhere she goes. She is also feeding herself and dressing herself. Pretty amazing for someone they were just hoping she would eventually walk.

It is already hard to imagine a time she wasn't a part of our family. The love between us has grown from a frightened little girl that screamed if I got close to her to a trusting relationship. One where she knows that she can depend on me and that Mommy isn't going anywhere. She has continued to show us in her actions that she is believing that we are mom and dad and we are family.

I wouldn't trade this journey or its experiences for anything.
