  I want to take a minute to remember precious Marcus Fiesel. I have been haunted by this local story over the past few months. I have cried so many tears for this little boy and what happened to him.
  
  Today, the jury returned it's verdict. Liz Carroll was found guilty of all 7 charges - including Murder. I thought a guilty verdict would make me feel better... somehow bring closure to all this. But it doesn't. I still find myself crying every single time I think of that sweet little boy's face and the way they (the Carrolls & Amy Baker) murdered him. I heard on the local news that people were dancing for joy in fountain square are the verdict. I can't. I just can't stop thinking of the way they killed Marcus. What person on earth can bind a 3 year old little boy who has Autism with a blanket and duct tape, toss him in a play pen in a dark closet and LEAVE him for the weekend to go to a family reunion? What sort of monster does something like this?
  
  I read the other day that Amy Baker's testimony said Marcus' toes were rubbed raw and cracked from him kicking. I sobbed at work when I read that story. Somehow, I had hoped that God had spared Marcus the suffering. That God came and took him away before all that. But no, he actually suffered and was tortured during that weekend, and then died. When will I ever be able to forget his sweet face all over the news? People searching for him as the Carrolls lied and said he was missing. The entire community combing that area of Cincinnati in search for a little boy with special needs wandering around? He was never found.
  
  Why did we fail him? How could someone NOT have seen he was being tortured and abused by his family? How could his foster mother, the very person entrusted to love and comfort him, murder him that way? My heart is broken. I look at my Evan and Aidan and simply cannot imagine taking a child's life - not in that way, not in ANY way.
  
  Marcus, I am so sorry. I am sorry everyone failed you. I only wish I could have done something, saved you. Rest in peace, sweet little boy.

  Update: Everything is going great for us. The kids are doing absolutely fabulous.
  
  Evan and Aidan are talking up a storm. They are absolutely amazing! They both sing their ABCs, count their numbers, sing songs, and talk in small sentences all day long. Evan & Aidan both know several Polish words & phrases! They both say: Co widzisz? (What do you see?), Widzisz! (You see?!), and Chodz tu (Come here). They amaze me with their speech every single day. They have also mastered a few puzzles we have for them, reciting their shapes and colors as they do the puzzle. It's so sweet to watch. They are growing up so fast.
  
  Izabella is also doing great. She's my little sweetie. She loves her mommy, that's for sure. Slawek calls her my little "satellite." She is attached to me (I figure it's due to the nursing). She cries for me a lot, and if I am anywhere in the room and she sees me, she will cry and hold her arms out until I go pick her up. She smiles constantly, my little princess. Izabella has her 6 month portraits scheduled on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2007. I can't believe she is going on 6 months. And I am proud to say, she has had no formula since the very day my milk came in. She gets 100% breastmilk. WOO HOO! Good job Mommy!!! I just started (a few days ago) to introduce her to solids. She has eaten oatmeal cereal (mixed with breastmilk), green beans (which she LOVES), sweet potatoes, and apple sauce. She seems to be doing great with her solids. And her poops are more explosive than ever.
  
  We are trying to keep warm in this FRIGID weather we have been having. You all do the same!!!
