Double Digits

Reese has been home for 10 weeks now, almost 11. She has been such a trooper with all this change in her life. We've got one surgery down and another to go (this year), a new country, new home, new way of life, new language, she's gained 3 brothers, a new mom and dad as well as other family - I could go on and on. She can say "eye", "nose" (no), "hi", "all done", "mama" and "bye". She's constantly busy just like the boys. The boys love her - Blake and Truitt are constantly asking for hugs :) She loves her brothers, shoes, hats, purses, blankets (anything soft), play food but she'll also play with cars, trucks and legos too.
