Fall is Here!!

Happy Adoption Day

2 years ago today we were in Chongqing City, China nervously waiting in the lobby of the hotel.  I held a small stuffed bee in my hand and Vanous had the video camera.   The babies came in through the lobby doors and I saw my ER for the first time.  She was quiet and subdued.  Not the ER that we all know and love.  It did not take long for her to shine.  And she has been shining ever since.  Happy Adoption Day my princess.  We love you sooooo much!!!!!!

Loving her Dolly!!!!

Green beans

ER got to plant her own bean seeds back in May at my parents house. Believe it or not- her plants came up and had lots of beans on them. She got to pick them herself and we put them in with my canning batch. We love green beans around here.

1st day of School and Swim Party

We, and I do mean all of us started back to school on Wednesday. Hubby and I to our teaching jobs, and ER to daycare for the first time. She is staying with a woman I go to church with who keeps 9 other kids. She LOVES it!!!!! Friday night we attended a swim party for the "Families with Children from China". ER had a great time.

The many faces of ER!!

Summer Update

We have been having a great time this summer. We have taken ER to the Nashville Zoo, participated in Bible School, and took a trip to the Smokey Mts. She loves being with us everyday and wears me out pretty quickly. But I love every minute!!!
