It's the little things...

Friday was the first of many family fun Fridays. We had our first unsupervised visit with T. We spent the day at the movies (Hotel Transylvania), lunch, and pre-birthday shopping at the mall. We finished off the afternoon with milkshakes at Shake Out with Kamden, Mitch, and Maddox.

As we pulled in the drive way to pick her up,the front door flung open and out come smiling our little T. She was carrying her journal ready to exchange from our last meeting. Our day was filled with smiles, laughs, and many questions. Here's what we learned about our girl:

1. Dreams of going to France, traveling to the top of the Eiffel Tower, riding in a gondola, and eating real Italian food.

2. Wants to go to Universal Studios for her birthday. Has never been to Disney but dreams of going.

3. Loves Hello Kitty, Neon colors, Mustaches, and her her favorite Disney princess is Belle (because she has curly hair like her).

4. Wants to grow her hair long again so she can toss it around in the wind.

T had many questions for us and what is going to happen in the future. We answered her truthfully and honestly letting her know that there is a plan but plans can change. However, she is going to be a part of our family no matter what. She is excited to move in and get settled into the family. As we walked out of the mall, she stepped up to the back of Kevin's car and noticed the Phillies Fan family decals on the back of the car. She quickly said, "we're going to need to add a little girl to this family." It amazed us how observant she was, but it was a beautiful demonstration of how the little things matter. Thankfully, we had extra decals in Kevin's glove box. She picked out her little girl decal, and it is now gracing the back of Kev's Kia Soul.

We pick her up tonight for dinner with a few family members. What a beautiful journey we are on. Counting down the days to November 21!
