Sassy girl!!

Yes it is true, Lili runs the house now.

First Halloween

Lili is gearing up for Halloween. She is a pro at saying trick or treat and loves pumpkins.....

Well we have been home almost 4 weeks now and Lili is adjusting very well. We are still having trouble with finding food she likes but it is getting better. She is sleeping at night now, most the time going to bed around midnight and sleeps until 10 am. She is having nightmares now but we are dealing with them and they could be a lot worse. When she wakes from them she wants her mama and holds on for dear life. She loves her daddy and he loves her, they spend a lot of time in her bedroom, which she loves. When people come to visit she grabs their hand and tells them to come on and takes them to her room. Her english is coming out now, she is catching on amazingly well, so much that you have to be carefull what you say because she will repeat it, lol. I know enough, here's some pics!!

HOME AT LAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sonja, Liliana and Uncle Joe arrived home without incident on Friday September 4, 2009. Matt and I are very happy they are finally home. Lili is very busy getting acquainted with her new home and surroundings. I know all three of them need some time to get their sleeping schedules back on track. I am sure that Sonja will update the blog as soon as she finds the time.... be patient. I thought I would post a couple of pictures for her that were taken their first night home. Lili LOVES her new room!!!

The countdown to HOME has begun..... 3 DAYS!!!!

Everything is moving along in China. Sonja will take the ACS Oath tomorrow, they will get Lili"s Visa on Thursday and they will be on the plane Friday!!! It seems like they have been gone for months! The following pictures were taken during a Skype video call. You will see Lili looking for the ice in Mommy's mouth (they think this may have been her first experience with ice), you will also see Lili modeling her new red dress while wearing Uncle Joe's shoes. And yes...... Uncle Joe has already taught Lili the "fist pound with explosion". Too cute! Enjoy!
