Halloween Fun

Michelle had a very fun weekend. We went to a Halloween party at her gym Saturday and then she had a playdate with a friend from our travel group yesterday. I love seeing her have so much fun. Her smile lights up the whole room.

Fall Fun

I guess it's been awhile since I've posted. It's so hard to find time to do a long post. I've also been posting most of my pictures on Facebook. Here are a few pictures of Michelle for those of you who aren't on Facebook. Michelle has had a good time this fall going apple picking and taking a weekend trip to New Hampshire.

Birthday Princess

Michelle had a wonderful birthday. She had a party at school with her friends, then dinner at her favorite Chinese restaurant and another party at home with us. She had so much fun. We love seeing our princess so happy.

Happy Birthday Michelle!

It's hard to believe that my "baby" is three today. Where is the time going? It seems like just yesterday she was a tiny baby who could only walk if we were holding her hands. How did she suddenly become such a big girl? She's grown and changed so much in the past year and a half. Below I've posted a recent picture and a picture from a year and a half ago to show how much she's grown.

As always on her birthday I have to stop for a moment and think of Michelle's birthmother. I always wonder if she's thinking about Michelle and wondering where she is. I wonder if she could ever have imagined that her little girl would be living in America and have a family who absolutely adores her. I always say a special prayer for her.

Michelle's Fun Day

This is the second time in a row my long post has disappeared. I'm getting very frustrated with Blogger.

Anyway, yesterday we had a mini-reunion with a couple of other families from our travel group. We all had a lot of fun and really enjoyed catching up. We were lucky to have one day with no rain so the girls were able to play outside and go swimming. They all enjoyed that a lot. Afterward, when we were changing the girls out of their swimsuits, they all decided it would be fun to run around nekkid. They ran around like that for a good half hour and it was absolutely hysterical. Finally they were ready to put some clothes back on to eat and play some more. The girls were all very sweet and played well together. Michelle had a great time and drove us home afterward (just kidding).
