a girl and her pups and a possibility!

 Elliott and I have been doing wonderful. Since last I blogged, my poor pathetic blog, we have settled back home in Buffalo New York.   It has been a little challenging, very cold weather, not so easy job on my part and adjusting Elliott to kindergarten but in the long run being close to family is immeasurable. I wouldn’t change it for the world.  I’m going to be posting in the next couple of days very life-changing event that’s happening in our household. I’m asking above anything for prayers.  Life is going smooth and then came to a screeching halt on February 12, 2017. I saw the face of a little boy in India who had a facial deformity but I fell head over heels. I always planned on adopting from India again but it was not in the cards right now. In fact it wasn’t even really on my radar. But when I saw this boy‘s face something and you told me, God is telling you the time is now. I immediately began sobbing and said no  there is absolutely no possible way ...

2015 has come and gone. How blessed am I that I have to spend 365 days with my sweet, sweet, Elliott. he has grown so much, and learned so many new things, I am impressed each and every day.  It seems life has gotten in the way of my blog as I have always hoped it wouldn't. In an effort to not have the worlds longest post, I will do a brief update on each month. 8/15 Elliott's first day of preschool. He was so excited.....until the drop off. He was terrified and I was a wreak. The tears lasted for several weeks but I am happy to report he LOVES school now and gets upset when he doesn't go. 9/15 We enjoyed going to our local Indian festival. I am sad to report Elliott is not a fan of Indian food. We also enjoyed the beautiful weather at our local playground. After months of terror, Elliott loved the swing and refused to get off it! 10/15 Elliott's first Halloween was a success. He made the cutest Harry Potter ever. He picked up on the trick or treat thing real qui...

Wow, nine months have passed since my life changing trip half way around the world to Mumbai, India. In this time, the bind Elliott and I have developed is heart warming. He is my world, the good, the bad, and the ugly, I wouldn't change a thing. We have spent the summer learning all sorts of new things. I am proud to say my baby can identify the entire alphabet, numbers 1-10, all his colors and about 6 shapes. We have been working hard. He even started a summer school, pre school program. We are working hard to get his speech where it needs to be. It is definitely slow but I know his vocabulary will soar any day now. We spent a week in Buffalo with my parents which was wonderful. Elliott's favorite thing was my dad's boat. Now he regularly asks to go on a boat. We also got to meet our newest family member, my brothers baby Eleanor. Elliott was a tad jealous but I know they will be life long friends. All along we have been calling my dad Grandpa. In the car one day, Elli...

My baby turned three today, the first thing I did was wake up and pray for his birth mom. I know she loved him so. I would not be a mom if she didn't have the strength to give him a better life. We went to the zoo and saw flamingos, penguins, zebras, giraffes, and elephants. The elephants were defining his favorite. It was a perfect day with a perfect little man. Since his birthday was in a Monday, I made chocolate cupcakes for his daycare. I'm told he loved them. I got home from work and made Indian food, which he wouldn't eat. He got a singing Mickey Mouse stuffed animal which he loved. His favorite gift was the signing cards from Gigi and Grandpa. Several family members tried to face time but two days with no naps equal one cranky, overtired boy. I put him down and he was a deep by 6:30. I then write him a letter like I did last year and will continue to do for years to come.  My Elliott is three and and as much as I want him to stay young forever, I can't w...

Life has been more than busy being a single mom who is back to work full-time. It is more work than I thought it would be.  I was so looking forward to spring break because we were going to the beach for a couple of nights. Elliotts first encounter with the ocean was more than I could've ever hoped for. It only took him about five minutes to discover that he absolutely loved playing in it. He didn't care that it was freezing water and that his mother was freezing. He played in it for hours. I am truly blessed for how laid-back he is. He is go with the flow. But don't get me wrong my little man is extremely active. He loves to be on the go and know he does get grumpy from lack of sleep, he would be on the go all day and night if I let him. I cannot believe he has only been with me five months. He has adapted so well and it is like we have been together forever. My baby boy holds my entire heart and I know that he always will.  Current weight: 24 lbs. 12 oz. Current heigh...
