Field Day

Well, I have been remiss in posting pictures from E and O's field day at school. They had a wonderful time. Yes, E's lips and teeth were blue thanks to the pixie stix and ring pops! O's hair (and clothes) were soaked from the sponge relay. Oh to be young again!

Celebrations

This past week has been a whirlwind of big days. Saturday, May 9, marked 5 years since O was placed in my arms. Oh how's she grown and changed. She is a joyful little girl who fills my life with much needed sunshine. It was Mother's Day the day I received O in a hot and steamy unairconditioned room at the Civil Affairs Building in Wuhan. She was bundled in several layers of clothing including a new polar fleece outfit to cover it all. Her shoes were way too big and I lost one on the way back to the hotel in all of the commotion. Here are a few pics of O when we were in China to get her in May of 2004. (E was just 3 years old at the time!)

On Saturday, the social worker came to conduct our 6 month post placement visit for C. Hard to believe it has been almost 6 months!

Then Sunday was Mother's Day. Where better to celebrate such a day than home with 3 generations of women!

Cinco de Mayo

Tonight we went up to school to watch E and O perform in the Cinco de Mayo program. Here are a few pics of the 2 most beautiful girls in the program (and their baby sister, too!)
