Happy New Year and Many Many More…

We had a wonderful and fun but very very busy holiday. We were so happy to see uncles, aunts and cousins who made it to Houston from those much colder places :-). Everyone enjoyed the exceptional warm weather in Houston. Anna got tons of Christmas gifts that made her seemed get lost in the gift pile. She is a very happy child most of the time – at home or at the daycare. She loves playing with other kids, going out, partying, signing and dancing along with music. Grandma made a couple of pink tutu dresses for her and Cousin Emily. They both had fun with those tutus. Everyone just loved to meet, hold and play with her. We cannot believe she has been with us for six months already. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She just had her 18 months checkup/shots and everything was right on target. We received her new birth certificate from Bexar County, Texas after Christmas. She is now officially and irrevocably here, and unmistakably a part of our family. Anna, our dear dear daughter, you are HOME!

We created this Blog to chronicle our journey to bring our Anna home from the land of her birth, The People's Republic of China to the land of dreams, The United States of America. Now we declare this Blog complete. We love you all and God bless you!

We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life
But those who make their journey home across time & miles
growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them
are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us
