It is so hard to find time to sit down and blog!!!! Little miss is always busy and trying to get on the right schedule has been a challenge. She is doing great!!! Funny, smart, funny, happy, no fear, funny, busy, adventurous!!! She loves to climb on things and jump off, or stand on things and jump at me (thank God I have been paying attention and caught her each time). I just can not help but stare at her and watch everything she does!!! God is amazing he put us together as a family!!! It is so amazing to watch her do things because she is so small. We had her first doctors appointment today and she said she looks great! Her heart sounded good!!!! We have her cardiologist appointment in about 3 weeks so we will see what he says. They took 10 viles of blood = ( She cryed but did great!!!
I will try to post tomorrow about the boys I have too they are so great!!!

We will be going to Washington DC for 5 days for nationals!!! I am so proud of him and Thad they have worked so hard!!!! and it sure paid off!!! I will try to post a u tube of it so you can check it out!!!

WE are home!!!

Got home on Thursday at 8am. We are now trying to change to Ohio time. It is going ok but we are all waking up at different times during the night. Hope by Monday we will be back to normal!!!! Lily is doing GREAT!!!! she is such a blessing!!! I just can not believe I would have a second adoption go so smooth as far as her blending with the family so well. She is super tiny and I am a bit concerned but other than being the size of an 18month old. She seems to be just fine she She keeps up with all the bigger kids and the Heart issue does not seem to be a problem. She has her pediatrician appointment on Thursday and her heart appointment on May 21. We are so in love with her and Thank the Lord for allowing us to be her family!!!! I will try to start posting more often as soon as I can adjust to this time thing!!!! More pictures on the way soon!!!! A post about the people we met and spent time with during our trip. And a post coming soon about these boys of mine... They have been amazing!!!!
I am so blessed!!!

This is what you see every day every where apartment after apartment. I miss my grass soooo much!!!!!!

Heading to the final appointment for the adoption the Visa appointment!!

Had to put a good one of Jack just wait to see the hair one!!

Oh she LOVES the water!!! Her only fear is when cars are coming towards us on the street and when anyone from our family is walking to far ahead or to far behind she panics.

Tea ummm

This is the best tea I have ever tasted!!! It was very expensive but I did buy a little! It is flower tea it is a ball and when you put it in the water it opens up. sooooo good!!

Hanging out! this is a typical seen in China people spent most of their day out and spent time with friends.

Miao miao has the cutest belly button I have ever seen. it is perfect!!

It is so cute to watch her eat. She works the chop sticks in one hand and a small spoon in the other. I got it on video!
