Thanks Vana! We are so in love with her. I am getting nervous about her hair. She's losing it in the back and it's coming in very coarse and wiry. Oh well, I have a closet full of product to try including some Carol's Daughter. I hate the smell of it though. I ordered the hair milk and I just can't stand the smell!

She's such a dolly and we love her more and more every day! Can't wait for finalization in September. Ann

Cylie got her 2nd haircut today! She had one when she was 5 years old. Her hair is sooooo darn thick!! I tried to let it grow so it would be ling but the longer it got the thicker & harder it was to take care of!!

It makes her look sooooo grown up!!

The before is when I took it out & poofed it all up. When it was in a pony, her puff was as big as her HEAD! LOL

The during is while it was being conditioned. You can't tell but when it is wet & pulled straight, it is about down to her bootie.

The last is the end result.

I had my big girl's hair cut also Deb. She and I just got to the point that no matter how beautiful it is it just got to be too much of a fight. When we were at the shop she was so excited. After it was cut she looked at me and said "Mommy, are you crying?" I couldn't help it. It was time and it needed to be done. We sent it into Locks of Love. I wanted her to know there were kids out there that needed her help and this is one way she could do just that. Haircut.bmp

Meet my girls!!

After almost one year and lots of lost/wrong paperwork, paperwork with our names spelled wrong and all kinds of other craziness, I finally get to add my girls pictures to the line up and introduce them to you.
DDA is 4 years old and DDK is 2 years old (28 months). We love them to death and I absolutely think that they are the cutest girls in the world!!!

What cuties!

All the pictures are so cute! I love coming here because it's like a little virtual playgroup! I read Natalie's posts before she was matched & I love following along as Cooper grows! The same with little Elijah. My little one is about to turn one next month. We're having the party a little early so I can have pictures for her birthfamily on the actual birthdate. I can't wait to post one here for everyone to see!
