Home 2 months

How do I wish that time could stand still. 4, what a precious age. The children at that age are so care free about anything. I continously feel so blessed that these two precious kiddos are finally in my arms. Sometimes I feel like I am dreaming. In the middle of the night I just sneak in their room and watch them sleep and listen to them breathe and pray over them.

I have probably already mentioned this but Biruk has taken a huge bond to Kevin since home and Amira to me. I am totally fine with that. Amira just hugs and cuddles me to death wanting to be by my side whereever I go while Biruk likes to talk to Kevin about cars all day and eat with him. I have heard now many times and also seen it with my own eyes that the minute I leave the house Amira gets so sassy and does not listen. I never see that when I am with her. Like slamming doors and throwing stuff. She doesn't do that when I am around. I think in time when she understands more she will get better with her attitude. I will have to explain to her that she needs to be respectful to anyone, not just mommy. I have to say, she is a smart girl because she has me all wrapped around her little finger.

Biruk started Pee Wee soccer last week and is really enjoying it. I am still trying to figure out with to do with Amira for fun. She easily gets distracted so we'll see.


The dress below is Amira's favorite dress. Every day she asks me if she can wear it but it is too cold right now but today I just let her wear it anyway. She also loves to wear her hair down and pose for me so here you go. Biruk gets annoyed when I take his pictures too much.
