The Kid makes me so proud.

The kid has made me so proud these past few days. She really wants to be part of the family. She sincerely wants to know her cousins, aunts and uncles. There has been so much moving around and visiting and each place we go she doesn't want to leave because I think she's afraid of leaving her family behind. She's talking with everyone she meets not because her Mom and Dad may want or hope that she does but because she wants to and it is so touching for us to see. She's really trying to figure out where she is from she's asking such deep and probing questions of us.

"Where did the first baby come from?"
"What does foster child mean?"

She's asking other more complex questions to try and understand how two people who come from one persons belly are called sisters and how two people who come from different bellies can also be called sisters. It is beautiful to watch.

Yes, those two little girls are so cute and sweet we loved seeing them and the both of you too.

biG and I were just at the zoo this past Friday to pet and fed the giraffes (I think he sent pictures). It was amazing.

Anyway we were talking about family and biG said when he was little he didn't do much with his aunts and uncle's. He said if D & Z lived here it would be so much fun to do things with them. We couldn't imagine not have some extra special time with them if we all live close.

P.S. Hope the hair washing is going well. And please post another blog soon.
