Okay, before anyone gets excited we are not pregnant. We have been blessed once again as we have found another of Elspeth’s foster sisters!! That makes 2 of the four, so two more to go. Keep your fingers crossed for us. This is huge news. Katrine is really close to her “sisters” and I think that the importance of that relationship will continue to grow with time. I mean, they have walked in each others shoes. To be able to ensure that Elspeth has that connection to both her three travel group siblings but also the four girls who she shared her foster parents with for almost two years is wonderful.
Now on to the more traditional update:
If you read my previous post about our visit to my brother in Glencoe, you would have seen the photo where Elspeth is sitting on her cousin’s new 4 wheeler looking mighty proud of herself. Well, she has a new toy…a three wheel scooter. She can’t really steer yet and tends to simply go around in small circles but she looks mighty cute doing it. We were really surprised when she stopped just sitting on it and tried to copy her sister and stand on one foot while pushing. She doesn’t go fast but she does move like the big kids and that’s what counts.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner I thought that I would share some fall fun with you. We went to the Wild West Fall Fest put on by a local church this past weekend. Katrine had a blast. She saw some of her friends there, got her face painted, played games, won candy, did crafts and jumped in bouncy castles. I mean, what is not to enjoy. Elspeth was a little more overwhelmed. As long as I was carrying her or sitting beside her, all was good. She did seem to like colouring with markers though. Before coming home we chose a pumpkin (the money went to local school breakfast programs). Enjoy!
