This year has been amazing- emotionally draining and emotionally rewarding, physically demanding and covered in kisses and hugs, growth spurts, tantrums, giggle, tears, swimming, reading, doctors appointments, riding bikes, coloring, story telling, and lots of love! The two children we met a year ago have changed so much that it is simply breath-taking! We continue to be stretched as a family and parents- but God is good all the time. He continues to give us grace and strength and almost daily reminders that this is HIS plan and HIS Grace is sufficient.
Here are some facts about the kiddos now:
Annalise:
Favorite Color: Orange and purple and pink
Favorite Thing: HELLO KITTY (to be said in a high-pitched squeal)
Loves: All things Hello Kitty; her teacher, Mrs. Garcia; going to school; getting to be on the YMCA Swim Team; running errands with Mommy; being a big helper; singing the entire Frozen soundtrack
Hates: Sitting still; stinky smells
Asher:
Favorite Color: Blue or green
Favorite Things: Scoops (or any construction vehicle), Firetrucks, Police Cars
Loves: All things that move; Mommy; going to school- Miss Monica and now Mrs. Craig; swimming and anything to do with water; drinking- drinks all.day.long; that he can keep his diaper dry during naps
Hates: no foods- eats like a champ; having to take naps- but he's a bear without them; being told no
