Coming home

Time continues to zoom on by. There never seems to be enough time to post. Abby and I have been sick with the crud. She missed 2 days of school and I missed 2 days of work last week. Thanks to antibiotics were both on the mend now. Here is a belated post that I meant to post on January 16Th. That was the day Abby became an American citizen. First I wanted to show the wonderful Gotcha Day gift given to Abby and I by Da. He surprised us last weekend with these to boxes.


Matching jade necklaces. He bought these and a third for my Mom's birthday while in China at one of the shops in the White Swan. I can't remember exactly what he said their meaning was but it was something about Abby and I and the love that goes round and round through eternity. Anyhoo they are very special to us and we will treasure them forever. Thank you DA we love you :)




Back to citizen day for Abby. I don't have many pictures of Abby and I in the airports but here are a few. Sorry they are out of focus. Don't think any of were even able to see straight by that time.



Making It official :) First touch down at Chicago Ohare. Not sure why little Missie is barefoot there???? Chalk it up to being delirious I guess.

And last of all. A look back to around this time last year. Check out little miss in her nightie then

And now :) She has grown. She is up to 25.6 pounds as of last week when we were at the doctors office. The love I have for her is just so enormous. I can't explain it. My heart is full and it's like the love keeps coming and brimming over. I just love my little girl. Sorry to be away so long. I will post a 411 on Abby soon!
