March is the second busiest month for celebrations at our house.  It's the month Sienna became part of our family in China, the month we received our referral for Ruby, and it's my Dad's birthday!  We celebrate all of these within 5 days of each other!!

March kicks off with the anniversary of meeting Sienna Grace on March 1, 2010.  Every year I feel like I celebrate how well she is doing.  Her health continues to be a miracle for our beautiful girl..  She has remained transfusion free since September 2010!  It's really amazing!  Other than a quick flu bug this winter, she has been so healthy!  We are grateful!  Second grade has been the year of confidence for Sienna.  I feel like she is really blossoming.  Ruby continues to provide a degree of comfort for her at school.  It's a remarkable relationship!  She's swimming and dancing this year.  I love watching her do both!  We are thankful for the most patient and loving teacher a child could ever have. With Mrs. Gullman's help, Sienna's reading has improved dramatically.  We are so thankful for this special teacher!  We are seeing our girl shine in art..  She definitely has a gift here...  Overall, I have seen our "Spicy Girl" from Hunan thrive.  It's a blessing to be a part of her story.  When I really think of the magnitude of what she has accomplished in four years, it's astounding!  Our tough and tender girl is a sweet and spicy blessing!
