Now and then.....Last year on August 27, 2008
we received our referral at about 3:00 a.m., just 3 days
before the US/Vietnam program officially closed. This is
the picture we received that day, and we are so blessed
that Sophia Rose has developed so remarkably over the
past year.
Sophia and Laura in our pool, but she actually prefers her
mini pool or the bath. Oh well, maybe this will be more her
thing next summer.
We took 2 day trips to the Jersey Shore, and
Sophia LOVES the sand. She dug and sifted in
it for hours!
Sophia's hair finally got long enough for
Laura to put it in pigtails. Well, at least
it's a start.
The pigtail days were short lived once she discovered
how to pull them out
On August 10th, Laura turned 16 and we celebrated it
with a family dinner at one of our favorite Mexican
restaurants in NYC.
Never too young to support the Yankees, our favorite
baseball team!
A few more times on this slide and she'll be ready for the
big time at 6 Flags.
Who needs stuffed animals when you have your plastic
'dog dog' to carry around?
Always willing to share her snacks, especially
with Molly, our 4 pound Maltese.
All dressed up for Labor Day, the biggest
weekend of the year in our little town with
parade, carnival and fireworks.
With Laura at the end of the parade after the Cheerleader's
dance routine.
