Wow....so much has happened over the past six months! Sophie is no longer that scared little girl that didn't know what was going on in her life. She is confident, happy, silly, and such a joy!! The journey has been very challenging and at times I thought "Oh my goodness, she is never going to like us" She was a sick little girl. She did not feel well and was scared these strange speaking people probably didn't know how to take care of her since we could not understand what she was saying to us. Well we did know how to take care of her. She had her kidney removal surgery Dec 2 and she has been a completely different child since then. Her English began to develop weekly and very rapidly. We are amazed at her vocabulary. I don't think there is anything that she doesn't understand in English. She told me today that something was "dangerous". She pointed to a statue in a restaurant one day this week and said "Mommy look....a cowboy". She is working on learning her shapes, colors and numbers and doing a great job. She loves school and gymnastics. She loves to eat cherry tomatoes, strawberries, oranges, CANDY :( ...... ketchup, frenchy fries and chicken. She still loves rice and noodles. She loves for Justin to throw her on the bed and let her jump. She loves to play soccer with Josh and anything else that he will do with her. She also likes to argue with Josh!!!
Sophie completes our family and adds so much joy to our lives. Sophie we love you so much!!!!

It seems as if Sophie has always been with us. I can remember the first days with Sophie and yes she has come along way.She is just one of us now. Love you!
What a precious sweet angel the Lord has blessed your family with. I believe we all have been touched by Sophie and the love you all have poured into her. Such sweet pictures of her running in the snow flurries with her big brothers.
How blessed you are ...and how blessed she is to have you all as her forever family! I adore watching her at school and seeing her change into a happy little schoolgirl! God bless you all!
Hi Sheri,
I first became familiar with your blog when you posted on the "Killingsworth" blog for little Laurie Anne. I was immediately drawn in with the adoption of Sophie and the struggles of those early days. Since then I have checked in every day on Sophie and have grown to love that little face. I am so glad Sophie has a family to love her. God Bless You and others who have opened their hearts and homes to these little ones.
