Well...a few friends have been bugging me to update my blog, so that they can watch the little bean grow. It's now been almost 2 years since I brought Leila home, and the changes are AMAZING! You know...I went into my adoption, hoping for the best, but also preparing for the worst, especially considering some of the issues the Leila could have ended up with. Well, she's better than even my best hopes and dreams. She is an Angel sent to me from Heaven, and I have been truly blessed. I often think of the movie "The Sound of Music" when Julie Andrews sings "somewhere in my youth, or childhood, I must have done something good" because that's exactly how I feel...I must have done something good, to get such a wonderful child. "Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could".
So here she is, 2 years later.
At the Halloween carnival, up the street from our house. She got to pick what she wanted to wear. She's got a keen sense of style.
Walking home from the Halloween Festival.

She's so cute! It looks like she has settled in very well. I love the little video of her doing the Pledge. Thanks for the update.
Oh lord I'm wiping my eyes and sniffling snot!! Oh Heather she truly IS more than anyone could ever hope for!! Her "pledge" just shook my heart. I so wish I could be nearby so I could watch her grow and give her HUGE ((HUGS)) all the time. Thank you so much for sending this & I will check it often.

Your daughter is absolutely adorable. Love the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. Just so cute. It is obvious the reasons she is a blessing to you.
