Home with ElleAnna for 34 Weeks

Can you believe it? ElleAnna has had her feet on US soil for 34 weeks now - nearly 8 months. Its amazing to think back to the scared little girl we met in Shenyang's police station that cold day in November of 2007. She wanted nothing to do with any of us and now, one of her favorite games is hanging onto your leg so that you cannot walk away from her. What a change. She is so smart and can rattle off her ABC's, count to at least fourteen. She recognizes all the letters and can tell you people's names that start with many of them. She has now begun to point out numbers in song books as she knows those too. She loves to sing songs. She especially likes to giggle and to make her big brothers laugh with her. I could go on and on.... We cannot imagine our world without her in it, that's for sure. Its been an amazing journey so far!
