Six Months...REALLY!

We have now been the parents of Alison and Jayson for six months! Half a year!!! This is crazy! It seemed like it would take forever this time last year to get them home. Things are going well. Jayson still is very jealous of Alison. If she shows us something, he has to as well. If I correct him for something, he always says, "what about Alison" SO ANNOYING! But he is my cuddle bug and is such a loving little guy. Last night, Alison was on the trampoline doing some tricks. When I went to get her for supper I noticed she was crying. So my big fat body climbed up in the trampoline and layed beside her. She said she was stupid! Everyone in Ukraine told her she was! I told her God made no stupid people! You might not be very good at something,but you are not stupid. Then of course I started crying and she said, "Mommy, why are you crying" I said, "because I love you so much that I hurt when you hurt" She jumped in my arms and we just had a really good cry!! Not every day is easy, but days like last night just melt your heart and I realize what a blessing these children are to me! God knows what he is doing.....TRUST HIM!!
