Family Day - Two Years!

Today is an important day in our family. Two years ago yesterday we boarded a flight from Beijing to Nanchang, in anticipation of meeting our little girl. In the end, due to flooding in the area, we had to wait until the next morning before we would meet. It was worth the wait.

I will forever remember the first time I held her in my arms. We had waited such a long time to become a family of three and on that day, our dreams became a reality.

In many ways, it is hard to believe that it has only been two years since she has been in our family -- it feels like she has always been here. On the other hand, I cannot believe how quickly two years have gone by -- and the growing, both physically and emotionally, that Maelyn has done.

Our little one is a happy, confident, curious little girl who loves to learn new things every day. We are having a blast together -- she keeps us smiling and laughing every single day.  

We love you so much, Maelyn!

Maelyn had to wear her princess dress in order to watch and dance to Glee songs...too cute!

One of her favourite passtimes this month -- singing!

Long weekend fun...Part 2

The long weekend was such a relaxing time. It was also the perfect time to catch up with friends!

Maelyn and Jennie haven't been able to see each other in quite awhile as Jennie and her family recently moved homes and were busy with the craziness of packing.

The girls were SO excited to see one another! These girls are true China sisters -- they have such a strong bond.

We are looking forward to the many plans our families have together this summer!
