6 months!!!

Wow! It's hard to believe that 6 months ago today we met Alissa in China! How time flies by! These past 6 months have been ones filled with tears and much laughter. Tears for all that was left behind in China. Laughter for all the fun times and memories that have been made. Alissa went from knowing no English to calling us by our names, singing her abcs, counting, knowing her colors, and letting us know what is on her little mind. Her little personality is so sweet! She loves her big brother, mommy, daddy, grandparents, cousins (aunts & uncles too) , and her friends. She gets so excited on Sunday mornings to go to Sunday School. Where she will tell you she was nice and "no hit my friends" (that one is always nice to hear!) Some of her favorite things to do... gymnastics class, playing in her kitchen where there is always hot chocolate and coffee ready to serve, playing with her "didi" (baby doll), playing outside no matter the weather, and helping mommy in the kitchen. Once again on this day we are reminded how blessed we are to be a family of FOUR and how worth it the long wait was!!! Happy 6 months to all our other fellow Nanning travelers out there! We are thinking of you and your families on this day too!!!
