Tea for Two

The little ones above are Hudson and Amyra, my niece (6) and nephew (2). My sister and brother-in-law came up here (they live 3 hrs. away) a few weeks ago for their vacation. It was such a treat. Most of you know my niece & nephew are both adopted, and some may remember Hudson has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (caused by birth mom being an alcoholic). He has come so far. It's such a terrible thing to have, but he's made a lot of progress. He can say a few sentences now, and he pulls himself up, and moves himself around grabbing surface to surface. The physical therapist taught him sign language so he can communicate better. Amyra learned it too because she said Hudson was her best friend, and they had to talk. We were at a restaurant having dinner, when two older couples walked by to tell us how wonderful it was to see two children love on each other so much. That made everyone feel good. Amyra turns seven in July, and I cannot believe we've had her for six years. She's grown so much! She had so many health problems too, being so premature. She had a hole in her heart, her lungs were underdeveloped so she was on oxygen for two years, plus she frequently had pneumonia. She's a little miracle.
