So often I get ready to sit down to blog and before I know it there are a million other things to be done or just need to sleep! LOL! So I am going to try to make a point to at least throw an update out here every week. This past weekend we went to Sea World and had a great time....nothing else too exciting for the week. The princess has competition on Saturday so we are getting ready for that! Enjoy the pics!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When a child is born, an invisible red thread reaches out from the child’s spirit and connects to all important people who will enter the child’s life.  As the child grows, the threads shorten, bringing closer those people who are destined to be together.  ~Chinese Proverb~

So we are steadily moving along in the quest for baby sister! This is the last thing needed before a referral can happen! Happy Monday everyone!!!

2012....the year of the dragon!

Today we had our own little Chinese New Year celebration with good friends that we have made in the adoption community! We try in out own little way to keep their Chinese heritage in their lives. So today we headed out to a local restaurant with our kids dressed in traditional outfits and as always, talked and just enjoyed each others company! The kids play so well together and they share a special bond that I hope we are always able to maintain. As they grow older it will be nice for them to have each other when they need to talk about being adopted, ect. Anyways enjoy the pics!!!
