Wow I really need to post more often a lot has happend since my last post
Easter was so exciting. It was our first holiday as a family of three. It was great to watch Kanya hunt for easter eggs with her cousins and sing and laugh with the aunts uncles and grandparents. On the Saturday of Easter weekend we went to the Herns to celebrate and Sunday we went to my Mom and Bobs. It was her first time at the Grandparents homes so there was lots to explore.
Kanya has been doing so well lately. She had a little rough patch where she wasn't sleeping very well but that seems to have passed. She is certainly hit the terrible twos and is testing her limits. Sometimes when you say "no" she give you a little look to see if you really mean it. I take her swimming at the athletic club about once a week which she loves. She behaves those days b/c I tell her if she doesn't we won't go swimming. We are going to start a mom and tots dance class next week which I am really looking forward to. Her favourite movie currently seems to be sharktales which I have watched several times. She likes to do the actions while watching movies, she is quite a little actress.
Yesterday we took her for her Doctors appt. We have been preparing for this moment for a while as she has a fear of Doctors. When we were in Chiang Mai she would not even stand on the scale or let the Dr. check her ears. To try to help her with this fear we bought her a little play Dr. toyset and have been showing her what the Dr. does to make sure she is healthy and strong. Last week we also took her to the Drs. office just to meet the Dr. and the nurses. I am happy to report yesterday Kanya was soooo good at the Doctors. She stepped on the scale by herself, let the Dr. check her heart, eyes ears, tummy etc. She let our a little cry when she was getting her needles, I told her not to worry we will get ice cream after and that cheered her up. I must say ice cream is a miracle invention.

Hi Teri & Craig,
You don't know me, but I'm Becka, Courtney's "lil sis" (long story! *L*) from Australia.
I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think your journey was to bring your daughter home. Reading backwards through your blog, I got teary as you reflected on the phone call & email you received telling you a little princess was waiting for you.
Congratulations on your forever family. :)
Becka & family xxx
