The children and I are reading Anne Of Green Gables. We are at the very beginning and we have just been introduced to the little orphan girl that is to reside with the Cuthbert family. Colin said, "Hey, she is like an eleven year old Mason-Kate." Not really understanding if he was referring to MK once being an orphan or exactly what he meant, I asked, "What do you mean?" He smiled and said, "You know how MK talks ALL the time? Well, it seems that little girl has the same problem!"

And moving on through the chapter, it speaks of how Anne can imagine away most anything - her eyes, her freckles, her living circumstances - anything except her red hair! She states that she cannot imagine away her red hair no matter how hard she tries. The boys and I were discussing this and P chimed in and said, "Well, she should just try adding a little food coloring to her hair then. That would make it a different color!" Yes, indeed, it would.

In other news, we came home yesterday to an update on little Maddox! She is so precious and I cannot wait to share photos of her on our blog! The update states that she is taking a few steps on her own, she is standing alone, she likes to eat "biscuits" to which I noted that in the pics she is holding this round, putrid green looking cracker/cookie thing and she has clearly taken a bite of it, and her lip was repaired on September 3 - the very day that our paperwork was sent to China! We were so thankful to receive the update and photos - mainly the photos! She has changed so much and her eyes are beautiful, her hair is no longer a fuzz - it is actually hair that will look so precious in a big, big, BOW, LOL! She is currently 14 months old, the same age MK was when we brought her home!
