vivi cakes

Hard to believe it’s been two months since Vivi officially joined our family.


I think she’s found her niche in our family.

And, probably against her better judgment, she is beginning to feel “at home” here. With us.


I can hear it in her laugh.


I can feel it in her hugs.


And I can see it in her smile.


Attachment, bonding… it’s all a journey.

But I think we’re on our way.


Happy two months with your lovin’ forever family, Vivi Cakes.

    Happy 2 months!! BTW, you're torturing me! My husband says, "We are done adopting." Then I come to your blog and see Vivi and wonder, "how in the world can we be done?" I think it has something to do with being 50-ish with 4 children (ages 18,11, 5, and 4). Where I see an age gap to be filled, my husband sees "enough." I guess I can at least live vicariously through y'all.

    She DOES look happy! Her eyes don't look quite so hesitant anymore. Someday you and she will look back on her "gotcha" photos and you won't even recognize the child in the photos… 😉
