Christmas Pictures of Finley, Finally!

Well I've finally got around to posting pics. of Finley. She's been home just over a year now and we couldn't be more pleased. She is such a good girl. She is reading very well and math is coming a little slower but who's to say she has to be a math wizard, lord knows I wasn't. But anyway, she loves first grade and wants to go to school even if she's sick! I hope all of you who are waiting on referrals and court dates get your prayers answered in the new year. Happy hoidays to all.
Julie

She is adorable. How old was she when she came home? I should know by the grade but my DS is in pre-school so I have not a clue. Congrats!

Gosh, all these beautiful children on this site today. I should be working but am enjoying catching up on the photos too much.

Finley is gorgeous, and a good girl too. What a lovely combination.

And to heck with the math, who needs it?
