Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Time really flies when you are having fun! Alot has changed since my last post on Halloween. I can't believe it has taken me this long to post again. I went back to work on November 7th. I have mixed emotions about this. I love being with the students at school. I've got a really great class. BUT... I hate leaving Sophie. Things have really worked out well though. She stays with a neighbor (thank you Mrs. Tina!) She really is great with Sophie. I can tell that Sophie is happy there. It is also really great that she is right across the street. I don't know what I would have done without Tina.
Sophie is really talking alot now. It is so exciting and sweet to see her pick up our language. Sometimes she shocks me because I won't know that she knows how to say something, and then she just blurts it out. Sophie is really doing great in everything. We still have some behaviors left over from the orphanage, but she is doing better all of the time. She really has learned to defend herself and to stand up for herself. She takes NOTHING off of Jordan and Chase. I guess that is good in a way.


We are so excited about this Christmas. Every time Sophie sees anything with Santa Claus on it she exclaims, "MY SANTA CLAUS!" She knows he is going to bring her toys. I can't wait to see her Christmas morning. She is going to go wild.

I really don't have much more to tell. I just wanted to tell you all Merry Christmas!

Love you all!
