I've had SO many thoughts for blog posts marinating in my head and no time to really flesh them out in the way that they deserve.
I don't know how long I'll keep doing this, but ever since 2006, at this time of year, I think a lot about the month we spent visiting Ellie in her orphanage. Especially now that we are in this midst of this comprehensive evaluation at CCH and going through the Empowered to Connect materials, I'm forced to remember and consider what her life was like "before us" as we plow through understanding the way she interacts with her world and how the trauma of that experience has impacted even the chemistry of her brain.
Today I read a blog post that echoed many of my feelings but also reminded me that God is not unaware. I hope you'll take the time to go over and read it. It's not long:

It's amazing to see what God has done through your family and Ellie's early years. Your family is truly blessed. May He continue to bless all of you during this Christmas season.
Seems like yesterday when you were traveling to Albania to see Ellie for the first time.
May you & your family have a very blessed Christmas.
Love reading how your family continues to grow both physically, mentally and spiritually. God Bless. Sharon
