Do you remember my post about Miss A? The one about a special little girl that I was pleading with you to pray for? The girl who herself prays for a family? Guess what! She has a family coming for her! I met one of Miss A's future big sisters while I was in Ecuador on one of the days I was volunteering at Sofia's former home. I had no idea that she was to be Miss A's big sister! I am so very happy for Miss A and her wonderful family. But can I ask something of all of you? Will you please PLEASE pray for this family and consider donating to their fund? They are stepping out in faith and would much appreciate it! You can follow their journey on their blog here. (If you can't access it through the link, go to www.godoftheimpossible.blogspot.com.) They also have a place to donate if God puts it on your heart to do so.
Last weekend, Jenna, Alison, and Jamie took a short trip to DisneyLand for 4 1/2 days. They had a lot of fun together. Jenna wore her Cat and the Hat costume in the airport (because they left on Dr. Seuss's day) and was quite thrilled with all the attention she got :)
Yesterday Sofia and I went outside and had a photo shoot. I took so many cute pictures of her! During the first month or so with her, she would never pose for photos and you had to take the picture quickly in order to catch her smiling. Look at her now! Posing, smiling, and waiting!

Today (Saturday) Sofia, Jenna, and I went on a picnic in the woods while Alison was at her basketball game. We packed peanut-butter sandwiches (Sofia's favorite), applesauce, clementines, cheese-sticks, chips, and lemonade.
It was a really sunny-day here (nevertheless still only 39 degrees), so Jenna was persistent on wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. I tried to convince her to wear jeans and a jacket, but she assured me that she would be fine. So I just told her that she couldn't complain if she got cold. Later she admitted that she got a little cold :)

Update on Sofie's school... The first school we tried didn't work out :(. But they got her into the developmental preschool here two days a week for a couple hours. She starts her first day on Tuesday! She will also go to preschool at a wonderful school the other three days. This school is forty minutes from our house, so driving there three days a week will be a sacrifice, but they have all the services that are so important for Sofia. We are really excited about it! Her first day at that school is not this Monday but the next. Thank you for your prayers!
