We've been MIA




Wow time sure has flown by in the past 6 weeks since my last post. Yes...6 weeks....I am such a slacker. I sat down to post numerous times but just got off track and never did update during the holiday season. Anyway, we celebrated Abby Grace's first Christmas with our family and this past weekend celebrated her first Chinese New Year in the US. She is just so amazing to watch. She takes everything in. She doesn't know a stranger. That could be a good or bad thing depending on the situation. She started speech with the school district after Christmas break and seems to be doing great. She loves going to see "Miss Kelly" at big school. She walks her out and meets Jacob at the end of school. Last week she said "Well hey there Miss Abby Grace." Abby Grace just lit up and went running to her. I think she is really enjoying that 30 minutes of 1:1 time twice a week.

She is really enjoying our new found tradition of S'mores on Friday nights. No, not every Friday night, just the one's when Daddy is home to help corral the crew:) She loves to sit with me and watch the fire and eat her chocolate minus the cracker and marshmallow. Just the chocolate, she's my kind of girl. She is still eating very well. Veggies and fruits are her favorites, but we are trying to get some meat in her too.

Her Ox Sats are doing great, holding in the low 80's. She is very active but still get's winded from time to time. I am thinking about enrolling her in some gynastics classes this spring. She just loves to tumble all over the floor.

Well that is about all of the time I have for an update now. Enjoy the pics:)




Yes it snowed and V had school. Actually Jacob had school too but he skipped.

Giving her the gift of "tradition" is such a beautiful thing to pass onto her. She is just precious.

What a beautiful little girl. I can not believe it has been so long since I have seen you and Sean. Deanna forwarded me your email and I can not believe what you guys have been up to. This is an amazing story. I literally cried reading all about Abby Grace. You guys look great together as a family and make the rest of us wish we were better people. We have to catch up and get together sometime. Take care.

Your daughter is beautiful! I'm enjoying visiting your blog. I'm also the mom of a cl/cp Chinese daughter.
