A New School Year Begins

They had to have the "posed" picture

Kenley

Ready to get busy

First day of first grade was an exciting day.  The girls have the same teacher this year and they are both very excited about being together.  Right now they are sitting next to each other in class, this may not last :).  They love each other so much.  It amazes me, not that they love each other but, that the love came so quickly and it is so real.
It has been 7 months since we brought Kenley home.  It seems like she has been with us always, yet the time together seems so short.  She is such a fit for our family, her siblings are in love with her and she loves having a family.  She has come so far.  Her English is improving.  She understands most things unless it is something she has never heard in English. She did call a carrot at dinner a rabbit, then laughed at herself.  She is growing in strength and understanding.  She has a great personality and she is a little mischievous.  With her English improving, she has begun to talk about her life in China.  We are thankful God brought Kenley to us.  What a true miracle, His will for our family and His power can not be denied.
