Alaina's 9 Year Check-Up

Some of you may remember how skinny Alaina was when we met her 3 years ago (just before her 6th b'day), so the fact that she registered in the 0 %'ile for weight may not surprise you!  But she is in the 3rd %'ile for height!  She is growing along the curve, she's just still UNDER the curve!  Went for her check up today.  She is 48" tall and weighs 44 pounds!  At this rate, she will never get out of a booster seat! 

Disney with the Millers!

After MANY years, we finally made it to Disney World with our long-time friends, the Millers!  We had a great time -- all 14 of us! Chad and Melissa recently relocated to the Orlando area, so we piled into their house and spent 2 great days in the parks.

And once again, one of the coolest things happened.  We were on the Disney bus doing a little park hopping, when a family sat down near us and just "had to ask"... about adoption!  The mom seemed very interested, so of course I gave her my email and if/when she emails me, I will enroll her in "Donna 101".  When we got off the bus, I had this feeling of "THIS is why were were here at this very moment."
