Stealing Posts
So I stole this from Elia's blog...but it is just too true
You know you are an adoptive mother (or you should be!) if:
1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight has ever made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love and family.
3. You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.
4. The fact that if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child, there would be no orphans in the world is convicting to you.
5. You spend free time surfing blogs about families who have experienced the blessing of adoption.
6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about your adopted child's "real" parents.
7. You have ever been "pregnant" with your adoptive child longer than it takes an elephant to give birth (2 years!)
8. You had no idea how you would afford to adopt but stepped out in faith anyway knowing where God calls you He will provide.
9. You have ever taken a airplane ride half way around the world with a child you just met.
10. You believe God's heart is for adoption.
11. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart and family is one of the most important legacy's you could ever leave on this earth.
12. You shudder when people say your child is so lucky that you adopted them, knowing full well you are the blessed one to have them in your life.
13. You know what the word Dossier means and you can actually pronounce it!
14. You have welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.

Child Endangerment
After reading this news story I would just like to point something out to everyone. It is illegal to leave you child in a car unattended in a car in Illinois! The mother states that she could see the car, but the law states that the CHILD must be in sight. Anyway, you can tell where I stand on this issue. It may have been unfounded as a child endangerment issue with DCFS, but it is still against the law...
Playtime at the park
Tuesday was such a gorgeous afternoon that Sienna and I went to the park
Just hanging out:
Ready to go:
When she gets to the bottom she makes you clap with her and then says, "yea, Nenna"
She finally decided she likes the kiddie swing:
Sienna HAD to ride on the merry-go-round...she wasn't sure what to think:

Seth and I took Sienna and her cousin Clay to Illinois College for an Easter Egg Hunt-it was still kinda cold
Sienna really did not like the Easter Bunny, so I had to be in the pic...
Ready to go
Finding the eggs
Checking out our haul...she really wanted the chocolates!!

First Haircut
Well, little Nenna had her first haircut this evening!! She looks so cute with her new cut. Even though a poll from a forum that I frequent often was quite against my choice to get it cut in a style...I did it anyway. Sarah does what she wants! Anyway...Sienna wasn't too sure
She went from what the hell is going on?!?!?
To this PISSES me off:
To I am NOT happy but I will suffer through it (notice the tears in her eyes):
Those scissors really cut...not like the scissors in MY hair kit:
The GORGEOUS result:
