Jet lag's a Bitch!





Still too tired to write much. Chloe is doing great and loves her new big brother, and the feeling is mutual. It is wonderful to have both of my babies together. I still plan to post more pictures and to talk more about our China trip, but that will have to wait. Joe is gone for his two weeks annual training with the LA National Guard, so I am playing single mommy for awhile. My sister is still here, and I don't think I could do any of this without her. Don't tell her though, I don't want her to know how much I need her and appreciate her ;)

We're Home!!!

After about 30+ hours of traveling, we made it home. Chloe was a trooper, and slept for most of the flights. We will update soon with pictures and such, but right now we are just enjoying being home with both of our kids. Thanks for all of the prayers, well wishes and comments. It's great to be home!

Pictures and Stuff










Too tired to write. Baby girl is keeping us busy. She is so much fun, and keeps us laughing. Her singing is getting more frequent and louder. It is on key and everything, we just don't know what she is singing. She acts shy when she is around others. She is not shy around us. English words so far, hello, bye bye, baby doll, mama, dada, no, no, no, no, look, shoes. She likes to give and receive hugs and kisses from us. She yells at us in Chinese. Every other word out of her mouth is "Ai Ya" She loves to eat noodles and dumplings for every meal. She LOVES Yogurt drinks. She loves to put things in her mouth. She loves to hit, pinch, scratch and sometimes bite me, only me, but not out of anger, she thinks it's a game? She has to have her hands clean all of the time. She likes to organize her toys and shoes. She cleans up her place after every meal with a wet wipe. We are with a great travel group. All of the families are really nice and we all hope to stay in touch to see how the kids progress. Joe is ready to adopt number 3. Joe hated the Lasagna at La Dolce Vita and talked about how bad it was all the way back to the hotel. The White Swan is nice. The shopping is great. I am the only one in the travel group who can access Blogger. We think it is because we use AOL. We are ready to go home. Happy Birthday Blaine! We love you! Again no spell check and I am not going back to check, too tired. The end!

The White Swan




We finally made it to the White Swan Hotel, and it is a million times better than the last one. It is actually one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in, and the service has been wonderful, and the staff has been very friendly.
Chloe has been testing her limits and keeping us on our toes. I forgot how hard taking care of a two year old was. She is so cute and so funny that it is hard to discipline her with a straight face. Anyway, it is time for her to go to bed, so I will leave you with some photos of our day and our new hotel.
