She jumps...


I got a little teary eyed reading that she can jump.... OF course she can jump!
While we were there that tiny little breath of a girl would jump on the bed:
"Uno!"
"Dos!"
"Tres!"
"Cuatro!"
"Cinco!"
"Seis!"
At this point Ben and I would hold our breath..."How could such a little thing jump so high". Ben's protectiveness kicking in as he would catch her before "Siete".
Thanks Doc....We know she can jump.

Rockin the Orphan Do!



So umm.... well... .... at first I thought they had gotten lice...Then I thought well maybe with their love of gum they got gum in their hair..AGAIN?!?...But nope...And thankfully so... they just have a bad do...and not so much "they" as just little Teeny. Apparently someone thought they would meld the concepts of french braid , minus the braid ...and corn rows, minus the corn?..Oh no!...lol...It *is * corny..no question there. But enough about their hair, lol. My girls are rockin Guatemalan Fabulousity regardless, dahling!
I can just see Tiny now... Just like when we saw her and I unloaded my collection of little girl shoes... she grabbed hers and explained to Teeny that the others were far too big for her and that she had to wear her old shoes as she handed her a dirty plaid pair of Strawberry shortcake zapatos.... I recently sent more shoes down and I see that Tiny is wearing the new ones and Teeny is wearing the ones I gave Tiny at the hotel. The shoes that I sent, were intended for Teeny funny thing that Tiny has claimed them and passed on her white sandals to Teeny.....ahhhh the joys of being the oldest sister!
Well outside of bad hair...and really, what girl doesn't suffer from the well intentioned, "let me do your hair...I am really good with hair" from a well meaning caregiver, right? Often times this is at the hands of a family member.....Lord knows my sister has braided my long hair into many a horrible french braid that only needed a goat and a milk bucket to complete the ensemble.
In the end I look into their eyes and see the light is still there and feel peace that my babies are healthy and well taken care of.

Who Knew????


They knew....
Then I knew....
Now They know I know.....
And now....
You KNOW!....
But what do you know?
We were kicked out of PGN.
"Oh No!" you say.... "That sounds terrible"
In fact I was elated... I love progress....
I love that someone handled my file
I love that they looked over it and processed it in some way....deemed a touch up necessary and kicked it out.
That's fine with me.... "Hey thanks...Thanks for looking it over...Thanks for taking the time to hurry my file along!"
Let's clean that puppy up and send it back in!


So now we will fix the file up...make it pretty and send it back in....Then they will clear it and say that it looks great .
Aren't you excited?
I am excited!
Get excited these girls will be here soon!
