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.

9 months ago...

Nine months ago today, Crystina was placed in our arms. WOW...sometimes I still can't believe she is here with us. I just stare at her and thank GOD for my little girl. She is speaking more and more clearer and putting 2-3 words together. She often surprises us with new words that she knows. For example...the other day, this was one of our (many) conversations:

Crystina: Oh oh, I made mess.
me: You did? Where?
Crystina: Right there. (and she pointed to her mess)

She had never said "right there" before. Where does she learn this stuff? I know she mimics us ALOT and we do try to teach her new words but there are times that she just surprises us. She is really one smart cookie.

Today...

She just gets more beautiful every day...not only on the outside but the inside. She will give me hugs and kisses, just out of the blue...LOVE those moments! And she just loves her baby brother...she gives him kisses all the time...just because. I can't wait until he interacts with her...that is going to be just priceless moments.

GOD bless!
