Home Study Scheduled

We scheduled our Home Study! We are on our way! Things are moving pretty quickly. We still have not chosen an agency for sure, but should be submitting an application this week.

Sara is getting used to the idea of having a new sister. We are thinking it would be a good idea for them to share a room, at least in the beginning. I will try to keep this updated the best I can.

Here we go again?

So, 3 1/2 years after bringing home our precious angel Sara, who by the way is doing so incredibly well, we have decided to dive back into adoption! We are looking into an Ethiopia adoption this time, a toddler girl between 2 and 3. It is going to be another long road, but I think we are ready! We are very excited.

Hi! It's been a while! Just a quick note to let anyone interested know that we got to go to the Ellen show yesterday and it will air today. I'm not sure if you will be able to see us or not. More pictures soon!

Happy TET!

TET is the big celebration for the Chinese New Year in Vietnam. Sara doesn't understand it yet, but we plan on teaching her the tradition when she gets older. Next weekend, I am working, but Sara and Gary are going to a celebration for Families with Children from Vietnam. We went last year and had a really nice time. Other than that, we don't have much going on here.

We had A LOT of snow and ice last week and luckily, I was off and not feeling well, so Sara and I were cooped up in the house for 2 days! She was very happy to go to day care on Thurs!!!

Feeling Better

Sara is feeling much better. She had a tough weekend last weekend and it lasted through mid-week, then I got sick. We are doing fine now, though. There is not much going on with us. We are back to normal after the holidays. Here are some cute pictures from New Year's.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had an awesome New Years. Ours was good. We went to some friend's who have a daughter Sara's age. The 2 of them had a BLAST! They were partners in crime and played so well together. Sara was up until 12:30 which is 4 hrs later than normal!

Today we took her to an indoor water park. She was a little scared at first, but caught on to the fun pretty quickly. Sara vomited before we left and was acting normal without a fever, so we went. She has never been sick before, so I didn't think she was. On the car on the way there, after eating some goldfish, she got sick again (we were 5 mins from the place). She was still acting completely normal, so we decided to try to stay. She was her normal self until we ate. She wolfed down chicken nuggets and then she got sick all over me! Then, she fell asleep on me and said "go play" when she woke up. She was fine the rest of the afternoon, although she fell asleep in the car, but that was expected. When we got home, it was coming out both ends!!! She is STILL acting normal! She wants to eat and then she gets sick and she wants MORE. Poor little thing. Hopefully, she will sleep tonight and be better tomorrow!

Does she look SICK?

Holiday Fun!

We are having a very fun holiday season! Sara had fun with all of her Hanukkah presents and understands the concept of presents. Next year we will have to explain to her that Santa doesn't come to our house, which seems like a very difficult task. We spent Christmas day with Grandma and Papa and some other family for our traditional Christmas Chinese lunch, then we went my best friend Suzanne's house and Sara had a blast with her kids.

Developmentally, Sara is doing so well. She knows her ABCs and can spell her name! She is saying things she couldn't say before, which is kinda sad because our baby is really growing up!!! She is so much fun!!!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday!!!!!!!!!!!
