Yes, Lizzie recen...I LOVE the cat voice - awesome!!<br />Yes, Lizzie recently passed the point where she has now spent more time with her second family than her first, though her time in the orphanage between is not accounted for in this. We love her so much that we can't imagine how it would have been for her first family to do what they had to do after loving her for as long. The kids and I were talking just yesterday about how complicated feelings are...for example, how blessed and grateful Geoff and I are that S&L are in our family and how we can't imagine our family without them, but how we would still wish with everything in us (BECAUSE we love them so much) that they never had to endure the pain of losing their first family in order to become part of ours, that their first family never had to go through such pain. Such huge, complicated, uncontrollable emotions about it all.<br /><br />ANyway, thanks! And I'll tell Lizzie that she received birthday wishes from a friend she hasn't yet met!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-54093693447089810162014-08-01T06:58:30.108-05:002014-08-01T06:58:30.108-05:00Hard to believe that "Little Lizzie" is ...Hard to believe that "Little Lizzie" is already 7.<br />She sounds like an absolutely charming young girl. I love that she has a special void for Geoff. Alexander has special voices for difference situations or moods. One is a cat meow (with expression of course) if he's tired. <br />There is a special feeling that comes as you start to approach the point where your child has been with you either longer than with anyone else and/or longer than they were not with you. It is a really mixed emotion feeling, but unique to these situations.<br />Happy birthday to Lizzie!<br />Ellen<br />Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687908042404975928noreply@blogger.com
