Knowing me, Knowing you... Adoption & our Happy Family.

Mia went to church this past Sunday, she has been very interested in praying before dinner and now saying a prayer at bedtime.  This is all her idea.  She decided one night that we should pray before we eat.  She was exposed to this ritual at my Mom's and we are not opposed to it, just not very consistent... till now.  Mia needs to pray.  She gets a little confused on the sign of the cross and the other day it was "The Father, Holy Spirit, now I know my ABC's". :) 
At church she was very well behaved.  She was quiet and knew she had to whisper while the priest, "king" was talking.  She tried to get out of the pew (for a little hall dancing I'm sure) and was NOT HAPPY to be taken into the crying room.  A short lecture from Mommy about staying in the pew was all it took to get out of there.  For communion, Mia walked proudly in front of me to receive her blessing.  She watched as Mike and I received communion and, as we crossed in front of the alter, exclaimed "hey, where's my sticker, I didn't get a sticker".  I think mass was a success and Mia is ready.
