It's amazing to me watching this little personality unfold. Baylon is all about the clothes, shoes, and accessories. As soon as she is dressed in the morning, she yells out "MIRROR", and runs to check out how she looks...... and usually, she will laugh and get this enormous smile on her face....... here she is all set to bounce around town :) My little girl.... she's such a GIRLIE GIRL !!!! I love it !!!
We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09
10/13/10 ONE YEAR AGO TODAY !!! My Life Was Reborn..........
It's hard to fathom that one year ago, this day...... our lives were eternally blessed. Our wait, an excruciating wait, that lasted FOREVER............. suddenly melted away..... we learned that we had a daughter...... In an instant, all the pain and longing, all of the anticipation, desire, anger, the frenzy, was completely swept away....... all I had to do was gaze into the eyes of a tiny stranger, ...... but strangely familiar.......
I stared and stared at this little face..... I can still stare at her face, and only now do I know a little bit about whats behins those eyes..... that smile, that expression......
Fast forward to present day................ wow......... the past year has been the most amazing journey, and my life has been so fulfilled, way beyond comprehension !
Getting ready for Halloween 2010 ............ the Wicked Witch, doesn't stand a chance !

July 23, 2010 Just some random photos............
Haven't posted much lately so just thought that I'd throw in a few random photos of part of my crew......
Life here has been grand...... we've gelled as a family, and it seems as though we've been this complete unit for EVER.......... still mastering our sleep issues, but we've pretty much worked them out. Baylon falls asleep anywhere between 8 and 9 and will sleep till at least 11, and can wake up anywhere till 3 A.M. I believe that there were exactly 2 nights in which she slept through till the next morning.
I wouldn't trade a thing.......'cept maybe tweak the sleeping issues, but Baylon couldn't be more of my own, than had she been carried in my womb and birthed as my own...... and with every beat of my heart, my love for her grows exponentially.
Just another lovely day...........

June 6th, 2010
Our little girl communing with Mother Nature......... she is an animal lover, which warms my heart, having been one my entire life. How this child was matched with our family brings to light the many forces at work...... forces that are beyond explanatory reasoning or coincidence.
The horses and ponies here are rescues..... the horse below is a Grandson of Secretariat, and wound up on its way to the Slaughterhouse...... We are at Baiting Hollow Farm and Vineyards on Long Island, I recommend this place to everyone......
It's amazing the changes that have taken place in our little girl. She grows up everyday........ she's such an adorable, sweet and funny child. We are so blessed !!!
