One year!

I am so sorry for not sharing my journey with Sophia for the last year.  Let me tell you when the orphanage told me she was active they weren't kidding.  She is not stop movement, curious, smart, funny and rough and tumble.  I love her to bits.

Well it has been a year and she started transitional kindergarten at the end of last school year for about 6 weeks.  She returns on Wednesday.  She loves school and she gets to ride the bus and loves that too!

We took a 2 week vacation just she and I to visit our friend MeriBeth and family in Indiana and Kim and her family in Wisconsin at the end of June and beginning of July.  Sophia got to see her first fireworks and as long as I held my hands over her ears she loved them if not they were much to loud.  She got to ride a small horse at an animal sanctuary, eat frozen custard (my first time too), take some more plane rides (she is a great plane traveler), and lots of other fun things.

This by no means covers the last year but let me just show you with pictures how much she has grown and matured since coming home along with having her First 5th birthday party this past Saturday!
Here we go: (note: she does own clothes but doesn't like them if they get wet or it's hot or she has them on LOL Just kidding about that last one)
