Kimberly, My husband, and Clarissa September 4, 2008

Clarissa is 3 1/2 and she's so much like me it scary. She loves to help and hates when you try to help her before you ask. She teds to thing that she's older than she is but then sometimes asks like she's younger. She's not is school and not because she doesn't want to be its just that I can't get her to school but hopefully soon we will be able to help her out. She love's being in dance and next year she will be in BIG GIRL swim lessons. Even though I can teach her I think its good for her to learn that other people can be in charge not just Mom and Dad. She's a big Thomas fan but don't let that fool you. I used to think she was going to be a tomboy and now she's showing more interests in Dresses, me doing her hair, and make up. Like the other day I took her to a Thomas book reading and she was able to pick out a toy so we were going to get a soccer ball (she love's soccer) but then she found a pincess kit with EVERYTHING I use/have in the bathroom. And the soccer ball was a no go. We do plan to get it for her birthday still but its funny how she's changing. She's also saying her favorite color is Orange. I'm so happy that she's my daughter even though she can really push my buttons but in the end of the day I'm just blessed to have her in my life and am proud to call her my daughter.

Kimberly is so interesting when there is to many people around (mainly that she doesn't know) She will sit quietly in my lap and wait for a few people to be left and then become miss show off. She's so funny when she does so many things because you can never see it coming. I'm in complete shock when she says a new word and when she show's me that she's paying attention. Haveing her be 18 months is SO hard for me to say because she's my baby. I can't believe what all she's doing these days. She's not a vocal as Clarissa was at her age but I feel thats because she can't hardly get a word in lol. I'm so happy to have her in my life and am honored to call her my daughter.

November 4, 2008 Kimberly had a docter's appointment and we found out that the problem with her leg has gotten worse than it was 2-3 months ago. Now we are going to a specialist in a different town about 45min away to see what we are going to have to do to fix it. It looks like a knee problem but only God knows this outcome as of now. I'm not worried about braces or even surgery but its going to be hard watching her go threw it. I know she's a strong girl and I'm so happy that God chose me to be her mother and to care for and watch over while she's on earth. I know that with prayers that we will get answers to what is wrong and there WILL be good new's even if its not the best news. Update will be coming on November 11, 2008.

November 11, 2008 Kimberly had her visit to the specialist today and they had to do some x-rays. They said that her condition is common in 95% of kids. Most of them grow out of it within 10-12 years but if she doesn't then we will have to cut the bone and put a metal plate and screws in her shin. Hopefully we won't have to worry about that so we are right now counting our blessing and we are so happy that Kimberly is going to be ok. Thank you for your prayers with God all things are possible!

The greatest gift I’ve been given is soft

and sweet all wrapped in pink.

I so feel that way and its my beautiful

girls that I don’t know where

I would be without them. It’s the best feeling

in the world knowing

that I have the girls I’ve always wanted.

My husband and I thank God for

everything good in our life and

accept the bad to know we will learn and

grow from it. I don’t ask God for

answers I ask him for forgiveness

and the strength to accept what

his plan is not mine.

Thank you God for everything and

I pray for those who don’t know you to find you.

They have no idea what they are missing.

Clarissa, Alina, (my niece) and Kimberly
