Hi there!  I don’t know if anyone is still checking in here but if so I thought I would post some great videos of Karina that I have finally had a chance to download.  Hope you enjoy them.

Also, last year about a month after Karina and I got home from Kazakhstan we visited our first carnival.  The first ride we went on was the carousel.  This year, the same carnival set up in the same mall parking lot and of course we had to go again.  I have posted some videos of Karina riding the rides this year and last year.  My girl is growing up so fast.

She’s beautiful Karina. All your hard work and love is paying off. I’m also in awe of you; it’s not easy parenting an older child especially when doing it on your own. Keep up the great work Amy.

Wow, you are making me blush!! Yes, parenting an older child has been challenging for sure at times but I always say that these children that come at an older age are remarkable people. There is nothing subtle about them. Just from their experiences they have a wealth and depth of character that I sometimes don’t notice in adults ten times their age. I just remind myself that it is my job to mine my little diamond in the rough…and to be honest at this point in the game a lot of the rough is gone now – and there is mostly just shiny diamond!!! Of course, everyone keeps telling me it only gets harder as they get older….great. : )
