HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

AVA'S FIRST EASTER EGG HUNT

DANCING TO MULAN

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY....

One year ago today....We received the call we had been waiting over 3 years to receive...Congratulations, it's a GIRL!! It was on that day we saw our beautiful Fu Yan La's (our Ava) face for the first time. I knew from the moment I saw her how blessed we were to be her parents.

OUR BABY GIRL TURNS TWO

As our baby girl turns two today....I wish that there was some way that I could let Ava's birth family know that our baby girl is happy, healthy, beautiful, funny, smart, strong-willed, loves her family, loves cookies, loves music, loves her blankie and is loved more than anything in this world. We will forever be grateful for the gift we have been given in raising this amazing child.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter. I'm truly the luckiest mommy in the world.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

ENJOYING THE HOLIDAY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

AVA'S WINTER FUN?

We're going outside in that white stuff??

Okay, I'm up for anything.....

This isn't so bad, but it sure is cold here.

Hmmm, what do we do now??

I've fallen and I can't get up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are you supposed to walk in this crap?

I thought I said in my paperwork that I wanted to live in a warm climate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter really lasts THAT long??!!

You can eat this stuff?

Okay, I'll bite.

I hope you realize, I'm NOT having fun with this.
