This is our sweet Alysha shortly after turning 4 this year. She is very excited about turning 5 eventhough it is still over 6 months away. I personally was not ready for her to turn 4! Her favorite movies are Mulan and Mulan II. While watching she will ride her faithful stead, Twinkle the hobby horse, back and forth across the family room. She is a joy and always has a smile on her face.

Alysha's adoption process took 23 months from the very first piece of paperwork to the wonderful, tearful moment we held her in our arms.
