Miracle of Mia

So we've been home a little over two months. At times we sit back and think how absolutely blessed we are with our two beautiful daughters. It is easy to see now that it has always been in God's plan for Mia to be with us. I've said it before but it really is true. It's not what we have done for Mia but what she has done for us. For those "waiting" or considering adoption, there is no difference in the love you will feel for your children received through adoption vs. bio children. Bio or adopted, they are the greatest blessings! Cindy also agrees that all the thoughts and fears she had of loving Mia as much as she loves Briley were ridiculous.

Everyday Mia is learning more English. She understands almost everything we say to her. She is doing much better going into Sunday school now, little or no crying when we leave. I guess she is starting to realize we are coming back. Cindy went back to work last week and that was difficult for her and Mia, however, they have both adjusted. We are very fortunate to have both grandma's to watch Mia when we are both working.
Barney is Mia's favorite show to watch, over and over and over.......... She has learned a lot from it and sings the songs all the time. We can't keep bananas in the house. She would eat them all day long if we let her. Oh and the popsicles, she doesn't like ice cream but loves the flavor ice. She is doing good with her glasses, it would be better if she had a nose to keep them up but she has no problem keeping them on.

Briley will have four permanent teeth and three baby teeth pulled out tomorrow (pray for her) in preparation for braces to fix up her grill. In all, everyone is doing good.
