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

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...........

Hi,

Your post really touched me today!We seem to be going through the same experiences-she's mine-I couldn't love her more if I had carried her or birthed her. Our sleep issues are so much like yours-bed by 8-will wake up somewhere between then and 11-most night will also wake up between 3 and 4. Do you think they were on some sort of sleep/eat pattern in Poyang? Isn't it strange that both our girls are waking up at the same time periods? Hmm...food for thought.

Like ou-I wouldn't trade this love for anything in the world. I noticed you had Baylon's ears pierced. I'm debating whether to have Lily's ears pierced also-was it terrible? Baylon looks so cute! Would love to hear how it went for you.

Sending good thoughts from Sunny (very hot) So. Florida,
