Head coverings

Josanna loves to cover her head with blankets and make kind of a hood with it.  She loves to sit and watch TV that way, or she will walk around the house with a head covering, and a train behind her.  It is really funny and strange because we’ve never taught her this.  She just seems to naturally like to do it.

Josanna freaked out about frog noises

Tonight, Josanna heard some frogs croaking outside.  She freaked out and was scared hysterically.  We think because she didn’t know what it was, and it was making strange sounds outside.  She was clinging to us and wouldn’t let go.

We showed her some youtube videos of frogs, and explained that frogs are nice.  That seemed to help a little, but she was still very scared.

Happy Gotcha Day Josanna!!

It has been one year today that we signed Josanna out of Toukoul Orphanage. The year has gone by so quickly! Josanna is such a happy girl with a big loud personality. She loves her big brother and sister so much and gets so excited when her daddy comes home from work. I have been thinking the pregnancy’s and deliveries of Mekiah and Abrielle. Their deliveries did not go as planned with both of them being c-sections after long labors. I have wondered why it could not have gone smoother and I think I now know. Had my deliveries gone smooth and as planned, I most likely would have had more biological children and may have never been as open to adopting as I am now. I think God had other plans for me and Josanna was meant to be in our family. I am thankful that God has shown this to me and I am trusting him to continue to guide our family. Josanna has added so much fun and life and has brought many new friends our way. We are so thankful for our precious baby girl!!!! We love you Josanna!
