We're Going to School!

What an eventful week we've had. First, Mia went to her Hematologist and he said that I have a very healthy little girl on my hands, and we don't have to come back to see him...THANK YOU, LORD!! So many prayers have been answered regarding Mia's health and I am so thankful to God for his many blessings.

Secondly, my sweet angel went to school this week! Mia had a great first day of school...NO TEARS, at least from Mia, but Momma was a different story. I am, for the most part, a very strong person, but when I saw a stranger take my baby down that hallway, I couldn't keep it together...tears began to flow. I am so glad Mia didn't see me crying, but I couldn't control the emotions I was feeling. It was very hard for me to go back home, because I wanted my baby ther with me, but I did make it home and managed to go a little much needed cleaning. We were to pick our children up at 2:30, but I just couldn't wait that long, so I got to school at 2:15 and sat in the lobby...I know, one of THOSE parents! As I was working on some things, to pass the time, I saw my angel rounding the corner, second in line, and when she saw me she starting yelling "Momma"...now the tears started, again. My sweet baby ran right into my arms, and said " I love you so much!" This was another milestone for Mia, because this showed her that Momma had come back to get her, and that she had not been left...big day for her! I have been very careful to tell her ever and over again that Momma will always come back to get you, so that she doesn't worry that she is being left again. My baby was talking 90 miles an hour telling me about all the things she had done in her first day at school. As the picture shows, she made the cutest little sunvisor, and was so excited. I can't tell you have relieved I was to see that she enjoyed being at school. So now, we will see how Monday goes, since she will be going every day starting next week. Also, Momma goes back to work, and it will be interesting to see how I juggle being a fulltime Mom, employee, and student - if you have an extra prayer to spare, please say it for me! Until next time, Peace and Grace to all!!

I've so enjoyed reading your blog and following the story of Mia and her mommy. What a sweet picture of Mia running to her mommy filled with excitement and love! It brought tears to my eyes! Curious to know how the two of you are communicating. Sign language? Did Mia learn english in China before coming home? We are waiting to be united with a 3 yo little boy in the Nanjing SWI. Blessing to your new family!! Sharee (www.moorefamily.lifequarters.com password-Sterling)

OK, so I'm choked up too - What a milestone!! I can still see you covered w/ stickers at the adoption center trying to make her happy on Gotcha Day. It sounds like she's feeling happy, safe and loved completely now!
Hugs from all of us!

Oh, Angie! I am glad you made it...what a memorable moment when she ran to you. I love it when Cash runs to me with a huge smile on his face!!
