Sixth Month home

The look says it all...a sassafras, intelligent, comedian, couch potato, sharpshooter.
"Who me"?!"

Wow, we have come upon the six month mark already. Where did the time go?! Like I and many others have said before, the time drags when you are waiting, but flies by when they are home. (This same six months feels like years when considering Mim, funny how that is)

I think the biggest change is that Ve is starting to talk about Haiti, like every day, several times each and every day. Some stories seem to be factual, some I am not so sure about. She has even started talking about her birth family members. Ve talking about Haiti encourages Tuks to talk about Guatemala. Now we know Tuk's stories are fabricated since she was so young upon home coming, but what I do like is the conversation between the two about their birth countries makes our family situation so normal, matter of fact, no big deal.

Ve's English is quite amazing. So good in fact that some people have a real hard time believing that she couldn't speak English when she came home.

I have also discovered if given a chance, Ve could/would spend the whole in day in PJ's sitting in front of the TV. One day that we had off, I let every one do what they wanted and Ve never changed out of her PJ's or left the living room with her eyes glued to the TV. I tell her she is a couch potato, but I will be helping her prevent this habit that wants to form so badly...since we are actually an ACTIVE family....

As the girl's like to say "It's (she's) a match"!!!
