Logan and Mom Bond...

Yesterday was another super day in the Knight house! We had Mema and Papa over for a day of summer fun...homemade guacamole, swinging, swimming in the little pool, grilling and chasing girls!!! It was fun!!!! And Logan brought up a "Big Girl" topic...being born in Guatemala!!! It's so awesome to hear her talk about her birth country and have that knowledge, "I was born in 'Glatamlala', and now I live in Michigan!" We're proud of this and so is she!!!

So last night I pulled out her Life Book, something I made just weeks after we brought them home on their Gotcha Days. I read this to her and she was intrigued with her baby pictures from Guatemala, more details of her birth story and information on her birth mother! Yesterday was the first time that we talked about her birth mother! We've always talked about Mama Karla and Papa Isai, their foster parents, but their birth mother was not appropriate to talk about yet! But last night Logan and Mommy really talked about her birth story! It was an emotional moment for me...but Logan was elated!!!! I will now teach her and talk to her, and Leah when she's ready, more and more!!!

***I posted this so all of you adoptive moms and dads know that it was a 'moment'!!! Haha!!!
