3 years ago!!!!!

What a difference 3 years makes!!! We just celebrated 3 years from the day that we recieved our call!!! On April 18, 2005 we got a phone call that would change our life forever!!!!!! Then on April 20, 2005, we got the first pictures that would totally melt our hearts!!!
3 years ago, we had never heard of Fuling, China! Now it is a place that we hold very dear in our hearts! It is now a place that holds a lot of history and questions for our family!
We love our Fuling SPICY girl with all of our hearts and are truly honored that God would bring her into our family to make it complete! She has gone from a small little girl that was quiet and who couldn't walk to a beautiful girl who is very rarely quiet and if you can't skip or run...it's just not worth going! I enjoy watching her so full of life everyday!
As I write this post, she is outside in the backyard swinging (where I can see her) with a handful of dandelion flowers! She enjoys being outside and playing full on all of the time! She loves being from China! She will proudly tell everyone that she is from China, but now she lives here with her Mom and dad and brudders! She has her mama's love for reading!!! We read every afternoon before nap and we read every night before bed! It may be the same book over and over, but then it is great to listen to her say...Mom...I'm reading tonight...and she will go get Green Eggs and Ham! Or Ameila Bedilia and the Surprise Shower!!! Those are the favorites right now!!!!
She loves taking care of her baby dolls! She makes sure that they are wrapped in blankets and in buckled in the stroller!!! She loved to cook!!! She loves to clean!!! She just LOVES LIFE!!!! And we love having her in our life!
The first picture you see is the first picture that we ever saw!!! The picture at the bottom was taken just a few weeks ago!!! Enjoy!!!
