Many blessings!!

I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged. The days go by so fast. I wonder why!!?? Deonna is continuing to do great. She loves school and her english is improving daily. She speaks mostly english now all the time. She has been trying to figure out the "Easter" thing. She loves to hide the eggs and find them. But she tells her cousins where she hid them.lol She is so excited about her easter dress. She calls it her Cinderella dress. She is more interested in coloring and doing some worksheets on letters now than before. She is so tenderhearted. She cries while watching Disney movies. She cries everytime on Beauty and the Beast and The Fox and the Hound. It's as if she's watching it for the first time everytime. She is trying many more foods now. I think we've had one boiled egg in a couple of weeks so that is a major accomplishment. I still wish she wouldn't hug everybody she meets. We are still working on that. I am excited to read that a few other bloggers have accepted rerferals and are very happy. But, I am so sad for the few who did not get good referals and it didn't work out for them. I pray for these families and for the healthy children I know are there. May God continue to bless every family and child.

No castle!!!

The days are flying by. If they could have only went as fast while we were in Ukraine. Deonna is doing great. She uses very little Ukraine language now. She does have a small speech problem. She cant pronounce the letter R,M or V. We are going to meet with a speech teacher soon. She is doing good in school. Of course, she's way behind the other children in her class, but the social skills are improving and she is more interested in books and coloring than before. She did get a sad face on her paper today for telling the gym teacher no. We talked to her about listening to her teachers and we took her "castle" away for the day and she couldn't watch her new Beauty and the Beast movie tonite. She wasnt happy about either one. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. She is also eating more foods than before. We can actually go for two or three days with no eggs!!! That is huge!! God Bless!!!
