Tuki turns 17 months

This is her attire she wore to church. Thanks to Aunt D for the outfit and head band. It is an 18 month and she just fits it, actually it was a little too short.

She is always on the go, so it is hard to get good pixs of her.


Saw four turkeys outside our kitchen window this morning.

Tuki is 17 months old today!! Hard to believe that nearly one year has gone by since she has been home. It goes by way too quickly. I have to thank J C, from Canada who is also adopting a little boy from Haiti. She suggested using the hair bands and Tuki loves them, and her hair looks much better when pulled back in a band.

Now the response about Katiana from my family and friends, well lets just say it was what I had feared. The only one who was positive form the moment she heard the news was my sister. She said "I'm not surprised, you have been talking three all along, plus it is YOU". Others have either responded with "boy it will be hard", "do you know what you are doing?" " yes, as you said, I think you are crazy". Or, absolutely no response, which basically tells me that they think I am crazy. Even though I am confident that this is the path for our family, it is difficult, at best, makes me feel alone in this world when those closest to me can't say I understand, and we support you in this decision. But that may be asking too much, after all they just heard of it and it has taken me several months to make this decision. So I need to be patient, and know that God is with me. It doesn't help that I am feeling really sick on top of it. I'm not sure what is going on, tons of pressure all over my head and sinuses, and lots of ache and pain in my neck and shoulder. I hope I'm not starting to get allergies in my old age..LOL. I actually slept for 2 1/2 hours today while Tuki was taking her nap, and I still don't feel better. AUGH!!!!!!!
