Happy St. Patrick's Day and last homestudy visit

今天是St. Patrick 日，安娜穿了绿衣服去上学。昨天我去接她时她就告诉我要穿绿衣服。姐姐昨天晚上帮她找到了以前穿的绿短袖衫，可是太大了，我于是给缝小了。

另外社会工作者劳瑞到我们家做了领养后12个月的家访，也是最后一次。以前一个月，六个月时也作了家访。劳瑞很高兴看到安娜适应得这么好，临走时给了安娜一个大拥抱。
Anna wore a green T shirt to school today. She told me about it yesterday when I picked her up from school and Leah found her a green shirt. But it was too big and I had to sewe it to make it fit.

We had Anna's 12 months post adoption homestudy which should be the final one. We have had 3 homestudies since Anna came home, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months. Our social worker was very happy to see Anna adjusted to us so well. She gave Anna a big hug.
