This is her hair before. Uneven and a little stringy.
The haircut
Is this cute or what?
This is a face Tess makes often. She does this when we don't understand her or she doesn't understand us. It always feel like the scene in Finding Nemo where Marlin is with the sea turtles. The tiny, darling baby turtle explains how to exit the Current. He has that happy, squeeky voice. But, Marlin says, "You're really cute, but I don't understand a word you're saying." Poor Tess.

Love that little haircut! Very cute. I thought her birthday was next week, darn it. Very fun, very fun. I'm so glad everything is working out. I wonder if she feels like a princess. Going from the orphanage to toys, and swings, and family. I check your blog daily, so I love reading the updates! I take it she stays home mostly. Blessings! Michelle
Happy Birthday Tess!
You are such a beautiful girl and I really love your new haircut. You are so precious.

Hello to you all from the UK. I have just spent the last hour working back through your blog - I cannot remember when I was last so moved by so many wonderful postings and such a story. And I also can't recall how I found your blog -threads weaving into other threads. I haven't yet gotten back to the beginning of your story,but send much love from our own little space in this wonderful world; if you go seek it.
Thankyou, too, Angela, for your comment on my blog. You are now added to my list. I admire all that you are doing - I was back in the classroom from so many years ago, teaching the lost as well as the happy small children. Hugs to you all; what a journey.
She is adorable and I love her new haircut (and stylish clothes)! That last picture is both cute and sad. My nephew speaks Russian. Wish he was there to help translate! Sarah gave me this link and I spent a long time reading backwards too. So happy for you guys!
I love the hair cut!! She looks adorable and soo sooo much like you guys. She is definitely a Knight :-)
Thank you for taking time to write and allowing us to peak into your world with her.
I loved to read you say that Tess is a love bug and I also found it interesting that you said that it is all on her terms though. I remember feeling that with our Emma even though she was younger than Tess when we got her. You are doing a great job!
Love you much,
Ana
