Covered in red icing! Celebrating C...

Music From Guangzhou *. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Gotcha Day".Two Years Later! Two years ago, Gary and I realized our dream. We became parents to the most amazing child! Mandy Rose stole our hearts in an instant. Each and every day since we have been awe-struck by the incredible blessing we were given when we were given this little girl. This year, I must admit, I planned the pose on purpose. I decided I had a nice tradition going! We found some great "treasure" according to little Miss Mandy Rose! Mandy...

Music From Guangzhou *. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Riding a Horse for the First Time! To round out Jamen's birthday weekend, we took the kids for horseback rides on Sunday! The little ones rode a pony named Zeus! Although, he seemed a bit tame and tired for that particular moniker! They were both pumped about riding! All loaded up complete with helmets! Mandy Rose chose the blue helmet and Jamen chose the pink one with flowers! We got our exercise by walking around and around and around the arena! Campi...

Music From Guangzhou *. Monday, March 22, 2010. Mandy Rose got to spend the morning with her cousin, Olivia, today! Olivia is 5 years old. Even though she is only 9 months older than Mandy Rose, she towers over her! They had not seen each other in quite some time, but dove right in to playing like they were the best of old friends! They spent alot of time playing "Big Sister/Little Sister"! They are both only kids.suppose they are hinting? It was fun to see the girls play together! It was so precious!

Music From Guangzhou *. Monday, November 30, 2009. As soon as we got home from Greenleaf, we started preparing to put up our tree. It was quite nippy in our house because our heater went out Thanksgiving morning. Since we were headed out the door for 4 days, we decided to deal with it when we got home (or rather on Monday). We set up our space heaters, vacuumed the floor, and brought all the Christmas boxes in! She will have a nice collection to start her own tree with! The First Ornament of 2009! We spe...

Music From Guangzhou *. Sunday, June 13, 2010. Okay, so we are indulgent parents! Do I think that is a bad thing? Mandy Rose is an incredibly wonderful blessing in our lives and any. Way we can make her life special, day-to-day, is worth it. We don't know if her life was ever celebrated in the first two and half years she lived. So, we make it a point to celebrate it now! Tomorrow Mandy Rose will be exactly 4 1/2 years old so we had an impromptu "half" birthday party for her today. Yea, I did it! Last su...

Music From Guangzhou *. Sunday, February 28, 2010. Mandy Rose and I went down to Attica today to help celebrate her cousin's birthday! Carlene is turning one year old and lots of family and friends gathered for the shindig! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so I have no pictures :(. Mandy Rose's hair has gotten long enough that I pull it up into pony tails on each side, braid them, and then twist them into buns with scrunchies. I think she looks absolutely adorable! What a wild hair do! This is the last ...

Music From Guangzhou *. Thursday, May 20, 2010. Mandy Rose See, Mandy Rose Do! Mandy Rose is becoming very interested in imaginative play lately! She is constantly acting out the events she is witnessing in her day-to-day life. For example, shopping is a favorite game at our house now! She loads a basket with her "items" and comes to me to check her out. Then, I have to hand her a slip of paper that is her receipt. She says "thank you" and I say "thanks for shopping"! It cracked us up! She definitely kee...
