Our THIRD grader




Tatiana, my princess, is about to be EIGHT years OLD!!! It is hard to believe in JUST 16 days...I will have an 8 year old, again! Tear drop!

It's been just over five years since we've been united as family. It's crazy how fast the time flies. Life is an amazing journey of ups and downs, and we are so very blessed to have been able to and continue to have the privilege to share this with them. We are so blessed for ALL OF YOU as well that have joined us on this journey and have been a part in our life. Thank you!

The pics are some of the first in manual mode I've taken. I know a little dark. I am learning all about the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, DOFE, and flash exposure. Jacqueline from GA introduced me to this neat organization called Creative Live that offer photography workshops online. This weekend they featured two guys who described themselves as "two gringo photographers" who moved to--guess where-- COLOMBIA, to take pictures! They live in the Medellin area! What a qa-winky-dink! It was a really great workshop. I listened in when I could. It was three 8-hr days with tons of information! Hopefully, I will grow as a photographer and I can take pics to help orphans by contributing to others who are adopting after we finish our adoption...which at this point, still no word from CHI. (dislike!!!)
