6 months ago...

6 months ago, Crystina was placed in our arms. We cannot believe it's been 6 months. To think back...of a scared little girl that had such a serious face when first placed in our arms and the way she is NOW.......it's SO unbelievable! She has blossomed in so many ways. That beautiful day in September, in that small Civil Affairs office in Kunming, Yunnan, China...is a place that we will NEVER forget. That was our "Labor & Delivery Room." ; ) And to remember what a "trooper" she was, didn't even shed a tear. Yes, we 3 have had our "moments," but it all comes along with "parenthood." She has made our lives more complete. And we wouldn't change a thing!! She is usually a happy and outgoing child but...she does have an attitude! And boy, do we see it! Maybe it's the "terrible two's," or maybe not...who knows. Either way, that's the way GOD made her and that's the way we LOVE her!!!! She was most certainly made and created for us! And we thank GOD everyday for her.

Today...

Another "anniversary"...one year ago today, our "furry" daughter, Lola, came to live with us. Yes, we had a very rough start but now...she is SO loving with us and is protective of her sister, Crystina. Lola is our "guard" dog, all 8.5 pounds of her. She truly is a great dog, and she is really good with Crystina...since day one! About 3 weeks after she came home with us, we found out she was pregnant (she was preggy before we got her). And on April 24th, she had 5 puppies, she did SO good and was a very loving, protective mother. We did keep one of the pups, the biggest one...Bertha. Who is just as loving and playful!


Here are a few pictures of Lola when she came home with us. Enjoy!!!

Well, another month has passed by and we can't believe how quickly it has gone by. But then again, it feels like just yesterday that Crystina was placed in our arms. It's weird and crazy how quickly time goes by.

Thank you for checking up on us. GOD bless!!!
