| I love VBS it is amazing and fun! |
 |
| Backward day! |
 |
| I made this cross for my mom. She really liked it and thinks it is beautiful! It has John 3:16 on the back For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son. That who ever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. |
 |
| My little sister Chloe wanted to go. She has to wait until next year. |
 |
| Her reaction surprised us! I wish we had the video camera going. The pictures really don't capture her excitement. She actually started jumping up and down with excitement squealing and chattering away in Chinese and a few English words. |
 |
| LOOK Sarah.....Can you believe it!?! |
 |
| Giggles! |
 |
| "Look Momma!!" Daddy stepped out of the room not realizing she was going to open another gift. "Daddy, Daddy come!!" |
 |
| I need to sit! (Couldn't get these 3 pics in the correct order. GRRRR) |
 |
| She couldn't get them out of the box fast enough! |
 |
| Putting them on right away! |
 |
| Then she became shy. |
 |
| Happy 5th Birthday!!! |
 |
 |
| Waiting in anticipation. |
 |
| Excited to see her plasma car! |
 |
| I think she likes it! More to come later. :) |
 |
| The other night I bought Chloe a new bathing suit, flip flops and swimming vest. Chloe had to try everything on and once she had it on she did NOT want to take it off. She finally gave in and put her pajamas on. In the morning a naked little girl woke me up holding her new bathing suit, flip flops and vest. She wanted them on right away. |
 |
| No more holding mommy! |
 |
| "Look what I can do Daddy!" |
 |
| Soooooo........... |
 |
| very excited!!!! A month ago this little sweetheart hated to get in any kind of water. |
 |
| A month ago not to sure or happy about what is going on. |
 |
| Now! |
 |
| God turned this frown to a ............ |
 |
| Beautiful smile. |
 |
| If I don't look maybe she will go away or I can escape her tight hold on me. |
 |
| Only God!!! |
 |
| Since we have come home the little princess loves taking a bath. Still not so thrilled with getting her hair washed. After her bath I wrapped her in this princess towel and ever time I would try to remove it to comb her hair she would put the crown right back on her head. |
 |
| She was willing to get in the strange big bathtub. |
 |
| Today she was trying to follow Sarah kicking and moving her arms as fast as she could trying to catch up with her. She didn't get very far with me holding her tummy to help her keep balanced and until she learns to keep her head up a little better. |
 |
Later as I was holding her in the shallow end of the pool I noticed she had become sooooo relaxed I lifted her sunglasses and she was sound asleep in my arms. Makes me think of a verse in the song by Steven Curtis Chapman When Love Takes You In When love takes you home and says you belong here. The loneliness ends and a new life begins. When love takes you in. |
  |
| Still tired after our nap on the last flight. She fell asleep before the plane even started to move. |
 |
| Checking out her bedroom she is sharing with Jaden. |
 |
| Not sure what all of this stuff is. |
 |
| Rides Flintstone style. Legs are a little short, can't quite reach the pedals yet. |
 |
| Not sure what this thing is. I will just copy sissy. |
 |
| Loving playing in the sand! |
 |
| Making sand cakes and even had a sample. I do think she thought it was a little gritty. |
 |
| She is a wonderful little mommy. |
 |
| Loves her sisters wild and crazy driving! |
 |
| Playing dress up is fun! |
