Where does the time go?

Rachel and Taylor with my their soon to be 83 year old Grandmother.

Well I can see I might get this thing updated once a month. Having 2 kids has given me alot more to do. Things are going great here. Miss Rachel is adjusting well and her and Taylor's relationship seems to be getting better and better every day. We have met with early intervention and our local family doctor has seen Rachel. Our family doc doesn't believe she has mild cp. She may be a little delayed just from being in the orphanage but she is catching up quickly. It is amazing what she can do today that she couldn't when we got her. She walks, run, climbs and has taught herself to use her spoon. She is trying new words and sounds all the time. We had an appointment scheduled for Vanderbilt for next week, but I canceled it. Our local doc and I agree that for now there seems to be no need. Of course we can always reschedule if needed. We may utilize Early Intervention to help her with catching up developmentally. So she might be getting PT starting really soon. So, here are a couple of pics, which I know is what you really want to see.

Bow Bows 1

Two friends of mine that are sisters made Miss Rachel lots of bows and a bow holder. Aren't they precious!! In this picture can you spot the cupcake bow, the ladybug, flower, dragon fly, or butterfly? Check the posting below for close-ups....and a cute ladybug dress they made!!

Bow Bows 2

In this first picture you can see the cupcake (which is upside down), the ladybug, flower, and dragonfly.

In this one you can see the butterfly bow.

They also made several head bands that you can attach bows to....isn't she adorable!! No more calling her a boy!!

And lastly, I don't even think they knew the significance of ladybugs and adoption, but they made this little lady bug dress with matching bow. I think she may have to get a picture made in this one!!

Easter Bunny

I work at the local hospital and every year they do a Easter Egg Hunt for the kids of employees. It's hard to believe this was Taylor's 3rd year attending and just like Rachel, he was also scared of the bunny his first year.

Rachel with our niece Hunter. Rachel got 18 eggs and Hunter said she would pick one up check it out then put it in her basket and go to the next.

Rachel was not wanting to be near Bunny!

Tee Ball

We had missed Taylor's first two practices due to being in China but we got to be here for his first game and it was sooooo cute. They just cracked me up!! I definitely had to say a prayer of thanks that night for Tee Ball!!

The night before Taylor's game we went and picked up his uniform, which he asked to try on, then wear, then pwease sleep in!!

Look at my lil' slugger!! I was definitely a dorky mom in the stands!

Taylor on first getting some advice from coach Ronald.
