I've been tagged by Dusty over at Our Family's Voyage. And this ones is different. I have to look at my photo files and then pick the fourth file and then the fourth picture out of that file. Make sense?

So here is my photo.....

This is a picture of Charlie when he was 14 months old. It was taken in our back yard on Memorial Day. Isn't he a cutie pie. And so chunky. Just look at those legs!!!

Anyway I am tagging Aimee over at Mrs. Chief.

Two Friends in China

I have two friends over in China right now geting their daughters. Just thought I'd post their websites so you all could follow along. Emily and her family live here in Albany and are geting Ashley. And Karen and her family live in Sylvester and are getting Kaelie.
Bothj of these families have been an encouragement to Mike and I at some point in our journey with Mei. Please lift them up these next few weeks as they bond with their long awaited daughters.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!!!!

One Year Ago........

We got our sweet girl's referral. I'll always remember driving in the car after picking up the boys when I got the call. Mike happened to be with me, so the whole family was together. Barbara from the agency called my cell and I honestly thought she was calling for something else( getting our paperwork in order or something). So I was really shocked to find out that our referral had arrived. And so I bagan screaming and laughing and crying all at the same time. And Mike was just trying to get me to pull the car over and smiling form ear to ear. That day we found out that Feng, Yun Man was in Jiangxi Province in Fengxin County SWI. Her birthday was March 18, 2007. And that she had lots of hair.

On December 6, 2007 we all gathered around our computer to get our first look at our Mei Mei. My sister was there and recorded the whole thing. It was just as special as giving birth to my other children. I just couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was just breathtaking.

I love you so much baby girl. I can't imagine our family with out you. You are one amazing daughter and your daddy and I treasure you from the bottom of our hearts.

Tinkerbell

Madi and the boys went to see Peter Pan in Columbus this past Sunday. I taked Madi into dressing up, but failed to fully explain that she was going to watch the play not be in it. So when the program started Madi was very upset and confused as to why she wasn't on stage. Then she wanted to know why no one else was dressed up. Oh well...I thought she looked too cute for words.

I'm in love with this picture

Just......beautiful.
