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

It has been so long since I have posted anything. It's not that nothing has happened it's just we are busy being busy. Maya is in grade 1 and loving it. She is actually learning to read the English language....that amazes me because a year ago she could hardly speak it. Denaye is growing so fast and becoming quite a lovely young lady. She loves her grandma....the other day she told her that she was the most perfect grandma ever!!! How Sweet is that. Sam is the proud big brother. He would be lost without his sisters. He is very protective of Denaye and Maya and sam have become playmates. They fight like crazy, but he wouldn't know what to do without them. We tried to get some good pictures to send out with christmas cards this year, but Maya has lost both of her front teeth and she is not willing to smile her big smile......I have to try and be sneaky. Christmas is fast approaching and I hardly feel ready for it. The girls have christmas lists this year.....last year they had no idea what it was all about. This year they get it!! I am looking forward to the holidays...this year will be the last year that all of my children will be with us for chjristmas. It makes me sad to think about it, but I know it's part of life......kids grow up and start to have a life of their own. This year will be special and I want to create lots of great memories for them to take with them....maybe they will want to come back!!!

If there is anything I have learned in the this life, it is to enjoy the moment that you are in because the moments are what create great memories.

Merry christmas
