Hannah missed a week of gymnastics due to having the chiclen pox, but the next week was "watch week". This means I can go upstairs and take pictures!!! Hannah is in a bluish leotard in the bottom (3rd) row behind the girl in the green/black leotard.
A new family picture is taken!!! All the adoption families know what this means-HOMESTUDY UPDATE. Our 1 year update for Emily's adoption. WOW-where did that year go? Since our 6 month homestudy update, Emily (3 yrs old) has grown 2 inches (35inches), but appears to have not gained any weight (26.5). We had a family picture taken for the 6 month report, however, they were asking for a new and different photo. So thanks to one of our wonderful neighbors who was able to get a decent family photo the day before the homestudy appointment!!! Here is our "new" family picture.
When Hannah had the chicken pox, everyone was telling us that she had them light because she had the vaccine. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Guess what? The second week starts off and Emily REALLY broke out with the chicken pox. Vaccine, hmmmmm. She actually had to have the vaccine in China before we could take her out of the country to return home (thanks to the Hague Treaty) She had a fever for days and the spots just multiplied every day. I took several pictures of her skin. Here is one of her face when they jsut started to show up. As of today they are pretty well done and scabbed over. During the "high-itch" period she was so cute. We told her to try not to scratch herself with her nails so she moved around the house leaning on the furniture and walls.
Due to the chicken pox, her follow-up appt for her tongue surgery has been changed to February 25.
Oh my! How awful! We are dealing with something similar with Julianne - a virus with sores in the mouth and high fever. We are on day seven of it and she is miserable!
