THE KURTZ FAMILY........OUR ADOPTION JOURNEY

Maya is 6 years old today. She is a beautiful little girl with a huge smile. I prayed for that smile. She loved every minute of her birthday....she changed 3 times and wore her birthday hat plus a crown. She took in every minute and I could tell she felt special. This morning she saw a birthday present and asked what it was.....I told her it was a present for her. She didn't even know what it was or really cared, she jumped into my arms and covered my face with kisses. She kept saying thank you over and over. Good friends Mark and Colleen and their family joined us as well as my mom and my sister and her family. When Maya first arrived home she had no use for sweets....well let me tell you that has changed. She ate all of the icing off of the cake and then licked the icing off of her princess figures that were on top of her cake. After we had lunch, ate birthday cake, opened presents, we went and saw the movie Enchanted. The girls had never been to a theatre before. They were a bit frightened at first, but then Maya looked back and saw where the movie was coming from and decided it was a really big T.V. It was a fun day and I asked Maya if she enjoyed her birthday and she grinned and said yes. I am thankful for friends and family who could celebrate it with us.
