It's Been One Month Since...



Becoming a family of four! Where has the time gone?!? Yesterday was actually our 1 month family of four anniversary. Is there such a thing? Anyway it's hard to believe that it's been one month since...being on the Great Wall of China, seeing the Forbidden City, meeting our daughter, and of course discovering love balls. 
Above are some pics of what we've been up to lately. Alissa was able to experience the  Manheim Farm Show with all kinds of fun animals. The cows along with the baby chicks seemed to be her favorite. Of course she had to experience one of our church youth group's milkshakes. Vanilla...yummy!
Alissa's English continues to amaze us. She is a little sponge. Needless to say we have to be careful what we say and do! 
Sleeping is an issue again this week. The one night she was up after 2 hours. She was ready for a snack and to play. Mommy and Daddy weren't! It seems as if around 5:30 each morning she is ready for her day. Mommy is still working on that one! 
This week was Alissa's first check-up. She is 37 1/2 inches and weighs 28.8 lbs. She is in the 50th % for height and 10 % for her weight. 
Other than that there isn't much else new. We continue to love and enjoy our larger family! It's so much fun to see Alissa experience all these firsts!

Raegan is loving the new pictures of Alissa! Looks like you're having so much fun. We're a little sad we can't be there to do the Farm Show like we did 2 years ago. Raegan remembered it when she saw the pictures! Hard to believe.
We miss you guys and are counting down the days until Christmas!!
