2 Years Ago today

Two years ago SJ was placed in our arms. A few tears shed at first but later a smile. These 2 years have flown by. Today SJ is a loving and lively little girl. One that is now reminding us that she is a big girl with her own room. A girl who definately has a mind of her own and the will to go with it, constantly pushing the limits and takes everything to new heights. She loves music and dance and seems to constantly be on the move. Also loves book and wants to be read to every possible moment. It is so amazing how this little girl fits so well with our family. It was truely a match made in heaven.

Two Yrs ago - Leaving for China

Wow. Two years ago we were sitting in the airport preparing to leave for China to become a family of four. So many things were going through our minds at that time. What will our little one look like, what will she be like, will she cry when we get her, will she bond quickly, etc. So many unknown anwers to our many questions. There was so much excitement and anticipation with all the families we were traveling with from our agency. These families who started out as friends have become family.

Finishing Touches

Art work has been placed (at least most of it) and furniture moved in. Sarah is loving her new room. I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband who loves to do the work to make the girls a room of their dreams.

Almost there

SJ's room is almost finished. Eric has worked very hard and created a one of a kind room once again. More photos will be posted showing but for now here's a taste.

K's turn

School has ended for the school year. KG finished the school year with 3 "A's" and 1 "B". We are so proud of her. She is still into pole vaulting and is attending some summer training sessions in an AAU league. She still hasn't cleared but about 6 feet but her technique is getting better. She competed already at one meet and placed 2nd. So she got a metal for placing. She also helped at a birthday party with the temporary tatoos. I'm not sure who had more fun. SJ or KG.

SJ received some wonderful bows from a friend whose mom makes them. They are from Madi's bows. SJ really loves to wear them. Also a little girl who thinks she is cool in her sunglasses.
