Kate and AJ , our foster daughter is doing well, awfully lean tho so I am filling her up with some good nourishing food. The girls enjoyed taking her shopping to find some more girly clothes for her birthday present yesterday and she was so excited about it. She has slipped back into our family as though she never even left so it is great to have her stay. it is very hard letting someone go that you have raised for 14 years and there are things I would like to change, like the clothing, the non-femine hair and the far to light weight but I also know that she is flourishing in other ways. I have only seen slight hints of her really obstinate ways and long may it continue for the nearly three weeks

In reality there will be a few outbursts but still it is great to spend this time with her.
