</div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> At the end of the month, Camden and I headed out together to do our annual year end review. We began the day with a glass of wine and time together reflecting on 2012. We made a list of all the big things that happened with our little family. Madison graduated from High School. There was prom and parties. Sophie's spent a week at Kosair's with a ruptured appendix. We sold our house. I switched jobs. UK won a National Championship in basketball. Like most years there was good and bad but always the hope of a new beginning.</span><br />

He began life as a 4 pound preeemie and is finishing up his 1st semester of college with a 4.0 GPA. He works two jobs, finds time for Kaitlyn, playing with his little sister and attends church regularly. He is also a good friend to all his buddies. His dad and I could not be prouder of him! My friends tell me all the time how lucky I am to have such a great kid. I don't feel lucky. I feel blessed. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We felt that selling our house was the right thing to do for many reasons and we were okay with that. Unfortunately, as time went on and we were waiting to hear about the closing, things became very intense. I had started some packing but didn't do too much because we were waiting to hear from the real estate agent that the buyers paperwork was going through okay. We were never given any type of timeframe. I had a trip planned with my girlfriends over the weekend and was looking forward to it. I needed to relax and hang out with some of my good friends. As I was preparing to leave I see an email from the agent that had been sent late the night before. The buyers wanted to close in 5 days and they wanted possession at that time. </span><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WHAT????</span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Not only was I going out of town but when I returned I would be starting my new job on Monday morning and was supposed to be out of my house in five days! Camden encouraged me to go ahead and leave, he would work on this problem. To make a long story short, we were able to get an extra few days after the closing. Still tough with my new job and all the work that had to be done. We were very upset. The agent came by to talk to us and things got pretty heated. We felt the time frame was unfair but she insisted the contract gave them this right. Her clients were trying to get their locked in interest rate and that is what caused this problem. There was no way we could physically get this done with me being gone for two days and with the new job starting. We were only moving across the street to my parents house but still impossible. There was nothing we could do so we got to work. There are those people that you can always count on to be there when things get tough. This was no exception. We got help from my mom and dad. Mom packed while I worked. Dad brought over his trailer and helped Cam move what they could. Madison worked so hard every night packing things in his station wagon and hauling it over to mom's. Camden's dad came over to help but hurt himself in the process. He had to have surgery. More stress. I went to work. Camden packed and moved us. I came home at night did what I could, working till I couldn't move anymore. I'm not sure I've ever been as stressed as I was this week. I felt so overwhelmed everyday! Halfway through, we got word that the couple buying our house were having trouble closing the house they were selling. By the grace of God, we were given another week. Still hard but doable. On Saturday almost a week after we had gotten word we had to be out, my brothers and some of Madison's friends showed up. It took eight of them to move my piano 8 feet to the POD but that was the final piece and it was done. We had made it. </span></span></div>

I really enjoy doing this. We were so busy getting ready to move that I was tempted to just purchase one this year but couldn't make myself do it. Trick or Treating lasts for such a short time in a child's life. I know I only have so many years to do it so I took the time and started up the sewing machine. Sophie wanted to be a Fairy and a Butterfly so we put the two together and made her a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Fairy Fly"</span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">.

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> This was the first year in several that Madison did not have to work on Halloween. I'm not sure who was more excited...him or Sophie. Like me he has always loved this holiday and was thrilled he was getting to take her Trick or Treating. He was also excited to go through her candy stash and swipe his favorites once they got home.</span><br />

When I learned that Disney's Beauty and the Beast was coming to town I knew that I would be taking Sophie. This is one of my favorite Disney movies and I couldn't wait to take my girl to her first musical . My friend Suzannah and I bought tickets for our girls and planned our night. </div>

I dressed my beautiful little girl and took her outside for a photo shoot. Daddy downloaded the soundtrack for us. We had listened to it together all week. Singing <i>Be Our Guest</i> as loudly and as often as we could.<br />

We picked up our friends and headed to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. Suzannah and I were concerned that the girls might lose interest half way through but that was not the case. Sophie sat on the edge of my knees through the entire performance, asking questions throughout and claiming at one point, <i>"I am Sophie and I'm cute...I think the Beast would love me too."</i> Yes baby girl. I'm sure he would. Everyone else does.<br />

Suzannah I drilled the girls before the show and at dinner about being ladies and proper behavior at a restaurant and play. They did pretty well but just couldn't help themselves during the intermission. The silliness had to come out. <br />

This is one of the things I've looked forward to about having a daughter. I love to share these things with my girl and I plan on doing them every chance we get and hopefully we can conquer the acting like lady part.<br />

Like many other American families, this economy has hit us hard and we just felt that this might be something we should consider. It was a very tough decision to make. This is a great house and it's the only house our daughter has known as home, but we both felt it was something that needed to be done. We still had the sign from when we sold our other house just 4 1/2 years ago. We dusted it off, made some new flyers and prayed a simple prayer together, "God if it is your will that our house sell, send a buyer. If it is not your will, please send provision." <i> <u>We placed the sign in our yard.</u></i> </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqCpOJXItonsaMcp_qXnLJEL3GSEg5HlfXlROT6cy0RYh9bDxE_k2qfIDib9qDlIozWVyy2KwMr_3Xjy4G6mVXfwenAHcRoQCgOYI3y-n155U1HVPTN8-ZHOdZbXd72SxhaUz1C4y5XpE/s1600/home-for-sale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqCpOJXItonsaMcp_qXnLJEL3GSEg5HlfXlROT6cy0RYh9bDxE_k2qfIDib9qDlIozWVyy2KwMr_3Xjy4G6mVXfwenAHcRoQCgOYI3y-n155U1HVPTN8-ZHOdZbXd72SxhaUz1C4y5XpE/s640/home-for-sale.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It became apparent pretty quickly that our instinct was right and that God's will was for us to sell our home. It just happened so fast and so easily. Within a week we had gone through 50 flyers that had been placed in a box on our <i>For Sale By Owner</i> sign. Within 10 days we had a couple who had come to see the home 4 times and was getting ready to write an offer but backed out at the last minute. We had an open house for two hours one Sunday, 20 people show up. By week 3 we had a contract on our house from a young couple who had already sold their house and was ready to buy now. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All of this by only putting a sign in our front yard. We never advertised other than that sign we had prayed over together a few weeks before.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We do not have another house. For the time being we will be selling a lot of our furniture, putting the rest in a POD and moving in to my parents upstairs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess for most people this would be stressful and some days it has been but neither one of us doubts that this was supposed to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We are thankful that my parents care so much about us. They have stepped up to help in any way they can and are just fine having us as house guests. Madison & Sophie are very close to them and both are just fine living there. Sophie just wants to make sure that her "stuff" will be going with her. It will. Mamoo already has her an area set up just for her toys and has redone a room with new paint and carpet for Madison. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As for our future plans....we don't have any yet but we trust God to lead us where he wants us to go. We believe that he has a plan and it will happen at the exact time he chooses. For now we are packing, purging and selling, knowing that our future is in his hands.</span>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04515423592668790268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3622576986539224799.post-8732097576053451212012-10-10T21:02:00.001-04:002012-10-21T15:41:52.382-04:00Pre K Field Trip Fall 2012- Gallrein Farms<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;">Sophie is a very adventurous child. There is not too much she's afraid of. The animals at the farm were no exception. She hit Papaw Butch up for some quarters and immediately began feeding the goats. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was told, "don't even think about having me a party!" I knew he meant it. That's just how he is. He has<i><u><span style="color: #073763;"> </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">zero</span></u></i> desire to be the center of attention. So we kept it "low key" just like he likes it. I made his favorite meal, Lemon Chicken and Peach Cobbler. After the kids went to bed, he headed to the garage with a cigar and a beer to reflect on life at <i><span style="color: #0b5394;">50</span></i>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Sophie has been asking me for a long time to take her to my work so she can see the big firetrucks. A wonderful opportunity presented itself and my Chief told me to bring her on out so everyone could meet this </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">little one they hear so much about. </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Sophie was thrilled!</span> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I picked her up from school and to the airport we headed. </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">First thing she got to do was drive across the airfield. One of my police officers escorted us to the firehouse. He had his lights flashing and Sophie couldn't believe that we got to drive right past the big airplanes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">After meeting some of my co workers we headed out to the Bays to see the big trucks. Our trucks are not like the regular red firetrucks most people are familiar with. Ours are special trucks equipped to handle airplane fires and rescues. They can move very quickly and handle extremely high heat that is caused by jet fuel burning. They can also spray water while they are rolling. The red firetrucks have to be connected to a hydrant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sophie had a wonderful time visiting my work. I love the way she calls the guys I work with, <i>"the fireman's" </i>in her sweet little voice. I am so glad I finally got to let her meet them. I feel very blessed right now to have this job. Airports have always fascinated me. Now that Sophie has seen where mommy has to go 4 days per week, she seems a little better with it. Not so clingy when I leave. It has helped her put a place and people with the word, "work" and to better understand where I'm going when I have to go.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And of course everyone I work with fell madly in love with this sweet little one. My Chief asks me everyday now, "how is Sophie?" or "what's Sophie doing today?" Before we left she was showered with Fireman coloring books, pencils and stickers. It was a good day and a good time. I'm so glad she finally got to go.</span></div>

Reopened<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When Sophie came home we spent a year working with her to heal the wounds that were caused from living in an orphanage. Part of that healing included a process called "grieving". Children grieve for many reasons and it comes in many different forms. One form and in our case was sleep issues. Every night at 3 a.m. Sophie would wake up and yell the only English word she could say, "Mama!!!" I would go in and tell her I was still here. She would roll over and go back to sleep. We also dealt with night terrors. Those nights required me to get up and spend an hour rocking her till she actually woke up, settled back down and would go to sleep. Once this grieving process was finished, I had a baby that was an amazing sleeper and that has been the case till now or should I say till surgery.</span><br />

<br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm not sure what it is but my amazing sleeper is now struggling. At first I thought it was her age. It is very common at four to become scared of the dark. It's not unusual at this age to want a light left on in the hall. These are requests that Sophie makes but it's more than that and it didn't start till our week spent at Kosair. We put her to bed. We leave her door open and the light on. For hours there is a battle. She doesn't claim to be scared, she claims she cannot sleep. She constantly asks me if I will be there to put her to bed. If I have to work she begs me to come into her room when I get home and tell her I'm home. She hangs on my leg when I leave and cries and cries, begging me to stay. After much analyzing, praying and thinking it all through I have come to conclusion that the sterile hospital environment reminded her of a place we had hoped she had long forgotten. When you ask her about her surgery, she says she can't remember anything about the hospital but there is something there. I can't put it into words. It's one of those things that only parents of adoptive children can understand. You just know when your child is "remembering" and you step in to do whatever you need to do to help with the healing.</span><br />

Sophie and I had gone out shopping with Mamoo and she sat quietly in her seat and never said much. At lunch she barely ate. The next morning she began to throw up and complain of stomach pain. On Friday she was still feeling bad so off to the pediatrician we went, sure it was something simple. The examination was typical and she was diagnosed with a bad stomach bug. The nurse practitioner advised that if she got lethargic and wouldn't let us touch her belly, she would need to be seen again. On Saturday evening Camden called me at work to tell me something was wrong, he was taking Sophie to the hospital. He and Madison swung by to pick me up. We speeded downtown to Kosair's and I sat in back looking at my sweet baby cry in pain, something she never does. There was no comforting her.</span><br />

It took three tries before they could get her vein to take it. My brave little girl, who is as tough as they come, never cried. She just watched them and asked, "is it going to hurt?" The nurses kept commenting on how they couldn't believe she didn't cry. Word began getting around the ER about the little girl who was unlike any patient her age they had ever had. They started coming in to say hi, bringing little gifts with them to make her smile. Like most people she meets, Sophie was wrapping them around her little finger. This continued throughout our hospital stay with every nurse and Doctor she encountered.</span></div><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

They were confused because she didn't cry when they pushed on her tummy which is a classic symptom of appendicitis. Luckily we had a very experienced surgeon who knew something wasn't right and insisted she needed to go in and see what was wrong. Surgery was scheduled for the next day. Mommy and Daddies hearts were heavy. We didn't want our little girl to have to go through this. If only we could take her place. Sophie was doing okay. Madison wasn't, he was very upset. We had to comfort him more than Fu. He was so worried about her.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

This would be our home for the next 6 nights. It was rough. My little girl kept looking at me and saying, "mommy I want to go home." Our first night I tried to sleep in fold out chair but couldn't. I ended up climbing in bed with Sophie and sleeping with her. I just needed to be as close as I could get.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sunday came and grandparents began to arrive to lend support during the surgery. This was the first time Sophie cried during the whole ordeal. She didn't care if they stuck her with needles or put her in a big strange machine. She was scared that we coldn't go with her. I climbed in bed with her again and just wiped the tears, hers and mine. We all felt so helpless. If things went well they would be able to do her surgery laprascopically. If there was a ruptured appendix, they would call me during the surgery to let me know they had to cut her open. <em>Unfortunately I got that call</em>. The reason they had trouble diagnosing her ruptured appendix was because hers was up behind her colon where the Xray couldn't see and it cushioned her pain when they touched that area. I'm so glad the surgeon insisted to go in and look around. After an hour of constant pacing and praying, the surgery was done and if there were no complications, we would have a 5-10 day hospital recovery.</span><br />

He knew Sophie was going to go through this long before we did. The first night in the hospital we looked at each other as we watched her sleep and we knew what the other was thinking, "what if...what if she wasn't with us. What would have happened?" Neither one of us could go there. The thought made us both sick. She was with us and she was going to be okay and that was what we had to focus on.</em></span></div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04515423592668790268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3622576986539224799.post-1026971403253304952012-07-21T10:25:00.000-04:002012-07-21T10:25:35.676-04:00Writing With Light - Jully 4, 2012<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">July 4th</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> was spent hanging out by the pool and just relaxing.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I'm not used to teenage girls and it was funny how particular she was about her hair. She was nervous because neither one of us knew the hairdresser (I had to find an undo specialist for her) and had no idea how it would turn out. She was pretty good about telling him what she wanted and when it was all said and done she was happy.</span><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Madison chose to wear a suit instead of a tux. He is the kind of kid that isn't swayed by what everyone else does. He likes to be his own person. I love that about him. When Mamoo found out that's what he wanted, she took him to Macy's and bought him a brand new suit. They chose a classic gray one with a navy tie that went great with Kaitlyn's dress. Mamoo is so awesome!</span><br />

While we were in China, there was a lot of opportunities to shop. I purchased several outfits for Sophie to have as she grew. It was hard to judge sizes because they were different from American ones but I was able to pick up enough to make it through 3 years. I want Sophie to be proud of her heritage and the clothing in China is something to be very proud of. It is unique and beautiful. Unfortunately this is the last of the outfits that I brought home and it is probably my favorite. She looked so pretty in it and I was so excited to capture the moment in camera.</span><br />
