Mom to Lexie from Aktau Kazakhstan, whom I adopted between May 20 thur July 20, 2007 (go to those posts if you'd like to read about my time in Kazakhstan.) Lexie is a funny, intelligent, outgoing and sensitive little girl and I couldn't be happier or more blessed to be her mommy.
Just a quick note to say I've been so busy with work, work, work, that I haven't had time to breath let alone post. But I have to share this picture. Lexie's big dance recital is in 3 weeks and I picked up her costume on Saturday. Here is her response to it......
As I embark on this adventure to Aktau, Kazakhstan to adopt my first child, this painting of a Rose comes to mind. I've always loved how all the adult hands surround and protect the baby's hand but at the same time are open enough for the tiny fist to grow. That's how I see this whole adoption process. So many people with one child's best interest at heart. And with each person giving this child a hand she will bloom into the best person she can be. God has given me a wonderful gift by allowing me to help this child learn and grow. I'm so grateful to all the people who have supported me (and I hope will continue to support me) through this life challenging experience.

Oh my gosh, what hilarious photos! Hopefully familiarity will breed something other than contempt for that adorable costume!
Oh--poor baby elephant. Hopefully she will grow accustomed to it.
I hope Lexie grows to love her costume :) Who knows next week you may not be able to get it off of her. Kids are funny!!!!
