Why the little things matter.

We've been working on two things for the last few weeks....having Kara say "Please" when she wants something and "No thank you" when she doesn't. Last night she did both!! I wish I had a video of how excited I was and in turn how excited she was when I praised her and told her how awesome she is doing!!

These little things might seem so silly to celebrate, but all these little things add up to a bigger picture!! All these little things I am sharing with you show us that she is capable of bonding and intigrating into a family, they show us that she is mentally capable of learning a new language and more, they show us that she has so much potential with the love of a family!

Her world is so different, we really have no grasp of what it has been like for her and we probably never will. All these amazing victories show us that love is the ultimate language. When we focus on loving one another we can do so much, not only for the one we are showing love to, but for ourselves.

She is literally growing EVERYDAY, she has come so far in a month, can you imagine what 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or a lifetime with a loving family could do for this girl!

We are doing our best to advocate for Kara. Together with the help of our family, friends, donors and strangers who have shared our story we can help, we can make a difference. Everytime you share her story you are potentially leading her to her forever family. Please keep sharing...

We are looking for someone to take professional pictures of Kara. My camera (phone) picture taking skills are not the best, we want to highlight her personality! If you know of someone that does mini sessions (soon) or someone willing to donate some time to take pictures please reach out to us. You guys are AMAZING. We have someone willing to donate her time next week!!

Here are some pictures from Burger King last night. We found out that Kara doesn't like cheese on her burger. She also loves ice cream cones, but not the actual cone part. I had to show her how to lick the ice cream so that it didn't drip on her :)

Thank you for all your support, please don't stop sharing our story, and following along!!
