Just returned from a great trip with my 4.5 year old to Florida to "check up" on Grandpa who has been ill. We took the time to visit Sanibel Island and had a GREAT TIME. MY little girl is an absolute fish, loves the water, beach, etc.....
Unfortunately, my poor hubby could not go with us. His Mom passed in July and his Dad had two heart attacks three weeks later-He's exhausted all of his family leave time. Thought I'd attach a few photos.

In just a few months she will be 5 years old and we absolutely cannot believe how fast time flies. She's been with us 3.5 years and life is good!

All you waiters-we had nearly a 2.5 year process and many times thought it would not happenfor us. We met Veronika when she was only 5 months old and didn't get to return until she was 16 months old-such a long and heart breaking wait but our lives are so full now. SO GLAD we did not give up the fight! This 40 something couple who've been married 20 plus years are so happy to finally be a family.

Prayers to all of you to endure the waiting-your reward will be great in the end.
