{ 6 Months Together )

summer (6 of 1) summer (1 of 1) summer (9 of 1) summer (26 of 1) Final summer (27 of 1) summer (4 of 1) It has been 6 months that Olivia Grace has been with us. However, it feels like she has always been here. Perhaps that is because she was in my heart for so long before I found her. She is doing so well that we just have to pinch overselves from time to time. She has a fantastic sense of humor, has been speaking all English since June, loves to be outside, ride in the boat, is the only one that is daring enough to go on the tube with any amount of speed, loves to swim, eats healthy, is always smiling, loves to do her hair all sorts of different ways, will do Fia's hair, loves her nails painted, loves to hang out with Emmie, Daddy, and truly is just a joy to be around. I believe after several conversations, things that she has told us about China, tears being shed from time to time, that sure truly knows at this point that she is with us forever, is safe and secure, that we love her so much and will not have to leave us. She takes in everything around her and wants to learn. I can tell she wants to just "fit in" and be like "everyone else". She is a remarkable little girl. One that is full of hope and joy. And most of all, she is our precious daughter and sister. I can't imagine my life without her. ;) { There are more pictures in my "Happiness" album on Facebook }
