The Ocean!


The end of last week was so busy that I haven't had time to post anything.  Fatima continues do go with the flow with our crazy routines.  I had to help with several school events on Thursday and Friday and she came along for most and did just fine.  She did get to visit with Sonya and Somiaya during a couple of my activities and she loved that!  Her birthday was on Friday and we greeted her in bed with a big "Happy Birthday!" and gave her a few little gifts.  She loves her doll Jennifer, so we gave her a carrying bag for her.  She also has pierced ears so we got her some earrings too.  That afternoon when we picked up Rebekah and Grace, we headed to Jekyll Island for a Girl Scout trip to Summer Waves.  Bekah's troop had earned this trip and I went as a chaperon and brought Grace and Fatima.  We went to the park that afternoon, spent the night at a hotel, and went to the park again the next day.  Everyone had a blast!  Fatima would be shivering and her lips blue, but she had a big smile and kept up with all of the girls!  This was also her first visit to the ocean.  She was so excited!  She let the waves hit her legs and wanted to go deeper with the rest of the girls, but I was a nervous wreck and had to make her come out! 

 Today was the first day we all got to sleep in and I know Fatima was probably so glad.  She hates to be woken up!  Like me, she likes her sleep!  Today we have just been hanging out around the house and tonight they are going to watch Kung Fu Panda at church for family night.  She will eat pizza AGAIN.  I think we have had that everyday since she's been here.  But she does like it so that's good!

Tomorrow is a girls' hair day at MAC.  I am anxious to see what they can do with her short locks!
