Misgana is going to SCHOOL!!

Hip Hip Hooray!! Misgana is starting young five's next week Tues. She is so excited, she has been counting down how many sleeps until school. We are at 5 sleeps until school starts!
Today we went in during class time for her to meet her teacher and her other classmates. They were so wonderful to her. Several girls ran up to her to say Hi. One boy had to take her over to see the big blocks. She looked to me a few times but was beaming with joy(not fear)each time. She played in the kitchen, checked out her cubby and found where to hang up her coat, all with 2-3 girls leading the way. What a blessing!!
I am so excited for her, she is just ripe for learning and making friends of her own. Our school has been so supportive and encouraging through this decision. It is so nice to know that great people are teaching our kids.
We will update next week, hopefully with pics!
Friends of ours are picking up their daughter in ET now and we cannot wait to see them. Their daughter and Misgana were friends at the orphanage. Hopefully Misgana will remember some Amharic to talk with Kidist, we may have to tell her some words to say, how weird is that?
I have to say all in all we are adjusting nicely. There have been some trying times but that seems to be the nature of the beast, the beast called parenting (parenting 4 kids no less).
We are praying for some health issues with Misgana. We should have some answers in the next few months. We have a great Dr. and are thankful for the excellent care at DeVos Children's Hospital.
We will try to be better at updating our journey but what can I say we are slackers!!
