Welcome...

Hello... Welcome family and friends. This blog was started so you could follow our adoption journey to our daughter in China...Crystina Luz ChenLi. Now, it's to follow our everyday adventures with 2 active young children, who are growing SO fast, Crystina & Ethan and 2 playful Yorkies, Lola and Bertha.

Going solo...

So, this is the first time that I've been alone with the kids since Ethan was born. Yes, it's a bit scary but I'm still hanging on. I'm aware that Ethan was born over 3 weeks ago but I've had either Edgar or my mom with me...until today. Edgar had to go into the office today. : ( I've already called him and my mom several times. What can I say? This is all new to me. It was scary the first time I was alone with Crystina...and then I got used to it. So, with time (lots of it), I will get used to it...maybe Ethan will be 1 by then but...

Anyhow, I was checking up on the kids and dogs just a short while ago and this is what I found...
Crystina...
Ethan...
Lola...Bertha...

Yes, everyone is sleeping but ME! And I know as soon as I try to lay down, Ethan will wake up. Oh well, hopefully tonight I will be able to sleep for more than 3 hours.

GOD bless!

Take a nap girlfriend! Yes, they do out number you, but you are older and wiser! Don't let them forget that:) I remember when the boys were little and both of them were in diapers and I was a mess. There were days when I didn't remember my name. It gets better.

Your kiddos are beautiful. Take care.
