Hey everyone. Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I needed to step back and really focus on what is most important to me. Lance and my beautiful daughters. I was feeling really sorry for myself and our family because we have not adopted yet and the waiting was really getting hard for me so I needed a break, a breather and a good dose of my family. Here is a little of what my medicine was like...
Took the girls to get the mail. There was only one thing. Myka says to Adri "Adri, we're twins we share" Adri responded " ya, we share because we are twins" they continue walking to the house each holding one side of the letter.
At swimming lessons Myka was standing behind Adri running her hand down Adri's pony-tail in a 'it's okay sis I'm here' kinda way.
We made snow out of packaging foam that seriously covered every inch of my living room and made snow angels.
One day we went from playing pirates to princesses to cooking, to animals and back to pirates. Adri walked around all day saying "eye-eye matie" and calling Myka her "first mate."
The girls were drawing pictures and Myka drew pictures of some of her cousins. She was really detailed. Her cousins have braids in their hair that have orange strands in them, Myka drew orange and black hair on her picture and then she explained that her cousins skin in not brown it's dark. Her cousins are black and she loves that they have pretty dark skin.
We watched dinosaur shows on net flics then the girls played with their dinosaurs for the rest of the day. Apparently dinosaurs love eating moms hair because they had to pretend to munch on my hair for the rest of the day.
Me and the girls had a watermelon seed spitting contest. They won.
We picked flowers, made forts, and towers with the couch cushions.
One night I caught Myka and Adri 'making promises' to each other. They were spitting in their hands and I mean spitting, Myka gets a good glob and Adri kinda has spit spray, and then they shook hands all giggles and smiles. They never really said what they were promising but there was a lot of spitting and hand shaking going on.
The girls got on a Princess Bride movie kick (they call it the R.O.U.S's movie) they went around saying "As you wish" to each other and whenever Lance or I asked them to do something. Then one morning Myka was up before Adri so Myka and I went in to wake her up. Myka got right up by Adri's head and knocked on her head saying "hello in there what do you have to wish for." Classic. Adri thankfully woke up laughing.
Adri has a stretchy head band that she loves to wear around her head like a super hero. She can do anything when she has that head band on and it's pretty adorable.
And to top everything off one night after I had read the girls their bedtime stories and was just snuggling with them for a little while. Adri kissed my cheek, put her arms around me and said, " Mom, do you know why you're special?" I said "no why" She simply said "because you have a lovely heart and all of the good stuff is in it" while she patted my heart.
These are only a few of the fun things that I wrote down about my girls. There are many many more stories but I just want the world to know how much I absolutely love my children and when I find myself having a hard time with waiting for someone to place their precious child with our family, I can take a step back and look at my daughters that I am so blessed to have and know that everything is worth it. I love you Myka and Adri. You are the best medicine ever!
