Today is another PROUD momma day!

Luke came home with his report card today and this momma is THRILLED!!! I cant beleive how far Luke has come in such a short time! It truly is mind blowing! He has become an amazing son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and in such a short time. He is an amazing student and his character in school is incredible! I love his work ethic and self motivation. Those qualities are qualities I would love to see more of in myself! :) He got 9 (yes I said NINE!!!) A's and 1 B.... WAHHOOOOO! How about them apples for a child that just one year ago and 10 1/2 had no language or education! Take that research that says the window of language learning is hard to open after 5 years old. HA we ripped the window right off the sill baby!!!!!!  My boy is learning and learning well! He was literally adding single digits in September and now just yesterday came home multiplying fractions and doing perimeter and such! The boy knocks my socks off!  He came home the other day with a Science test that he got a 21 out of 22 on and it was all about Conducters and Insulators  and Magnets and such and I was like.. '"ummm you dont really get this stuff you have 1 year of language under your belt.... " Well needless to say I was schooled by my boy as he gave me a huge lesson on how those worked! HA I love his brain! I love his heart and I love that boy!  Just wanted to give a shout of praise for my boy!!!!!! GO LUKE!!!


                                                 Here is the precious report card!!!!!!!!!

                              Paige and Luke at the park yesterday! We had a ton of fun!

                      I want to kiss those cheeks so bad! Cant wait to get him home!

 Through that gate and those bars is where my Elias is.. His school for the Deaf is in there somewhere........... Cant wait until he is safely home and in school with Luke, with his family, together forever!

Some sign language videos of Luke to share!

I am uploading two recent videos I took of Luke. I am trying to document his signing progression. I did voice his signing so those who do not know sign language can watch too!

The first video is one of Luke signing some of his sight words. These are old sight words that he has not practiced in a long time but he knows them and he wanted to document them on video. We will do some newer words soon. He is signing so well and learning so fast that he is quite an impressive young man!

The next video is one of Luke and his 5 year old sister, Paige. Every night for at least a month now the two of them meet in either Paige's room or Luke's with me and they read stories to me and each other. Paige signs her story and then Luke signs his. It is so cute and precious to watch that I had to share. They are normally much more animated but they also knew mom was recording and I think it added some pressure and stress so they are not animated, but they are signing well. Luke's story is below his reading level now but I was trying to keep it short so that I could upload it. We will try a longer one later! Enjoy, I know I do!!! Plus I just love the special bond that Luke and Paige have, they are ALWAYS together and such amazing brother and sister together.

Hope you enjoy the videos and we will be posting more soon!!!

Fundraiser for my brother, Elias!

• THE WORRELL FAMILY THIRTY ONE FUNDRAISER

• Where:ONLINE!!!

• When: March 1st through March 26th 5:00 pm   We are in the process of adopting 8 year old Elias from Southern China. Elias is Profoundly Deaf , and one handsome little boy. We are more then anxious to bring him home to our family. As some of you know the cost of adoption is pretty darn expensive, but we cannot put a price tag on someones life. Every child deserves to know the love of a family. We scraped and saved and scrimped and fund-raised and applied for grants to bring Luke home and now we are again saving, scrimping, scrapping and praying and praying and praying for the funds to bring our precious son home to his family that cannot wait to welcome him with loving arms! From this fundraiser: 100% of the commission from all sales goes to the Worrell Family Adoption Fund to bring home precious Elias!
