Time flies

when you are having fun!! Two years ago today we were boarding a plane for Beijing. We were so excited and nervous. We were spending our last nights as a couple and looking forward to becoming a familiy of three....



Today we were at the park playing!!! Wow, what a difference two years makes. People continually told us "your lives are about to change forever" and they were so right. Now we get to swing, jump, run, play with dolls, sing, dance and act like a kid again!!






We are so proud of our sweet daughter. She is doing so great in her speech therapy!! Her newest words are more, bye, baa, and Zoe. I know for a three year old this is not impressive to most..but for us it is huge!! She also did her first "without Mommy" gymnastics class today. She has graduated to the next class and is on her own now and did great!

I can't believe she has been home almost two years..we can't imagine our lives any other way!

That is so great that she is doing well in speech therapy!!!! 2 years already. We are rapidly approaching our 1 year since G&R date and I just can't believe it. Time has absolutely flown.

It's so interesting to see Annslee finally dressed for fall in a coat! I'll bet the cool weather is a nice change!

This wait has been so long that I sometimes I wonder if we will ever get there. Sometimes I feel like I am getting cold feet. But then I look at blogs like yours and they really renew my drive to keep waiting the wait... so thanks for the inspiration! Congratulations on your two years together.

You know what a huge fan I am of the "joy of swinging" pictures. Love that one of Annslee! Also, I really like the one where she in focus through the boat porthole. Very creative and cool!

It's amazing how fast two years speeds by...

I remember going through speech with JiaLi and how psyched we were with each development--it is a big deal!! Time does go by so fast--I'll never forget two years ago:)
Annslee is adorable in all the pictures!!

She has so enriched your lives & it shows. It is so amazing! I can't wait to see her with your newest addition:)

Wow... time is sure going quickly! (well, your time w/ Annslee...waiting for mei mei probably doesn't feel like it is going quickly!)

LOVE that first pic! It looks so beautiful...the edges are a little blurry but the image of Anns is just perfect...and she has such a cute expression!!!

Looking forward to hearing what you do for your 2nd Family Day!!!

JEff said...

We know exactly what you mean...and Reed's only been home for almost 2 months. How much richer our lives are now with our precious babies!

Unknown said...

Happy Anniversary! Too bad we can't pick when to slow the clock down and when to speed it up.

Saint Louis Family Robinson said...

I'm with Magi on this one... I wish I could slow down (or even stop) the Josie clock, but at the same time I want to speed up the Eloise clock!

Love the 'fancy' coat!

Stacie said...

Love the outfit, I know, I cannot believe we went to China 2 years ago to get our girls. :)

asiangard said...

She is so sweet, I love her outfit too! Isn't being a Mom like the best job on earth?

Nikki said...

I agree, the time does just FLY by! Your Annslee is just such a sweetie-pie...I am glad that the chances are good that we'll meet someday...our next reunion?

Glad you had a nice day at the park with your girl.

BIG congrats to her on the wonderful progress in her speech therapy - that is very exciting for all of you!

Hi, I found you through Classy Mommy's baby shower. Great pictures!!! I hope we'll be able to adopt in the future. And we'll have to decide where to adopt from. I'm partial to China because I'm chinese but my husband may have a different idea (he's Bahamian).
Congrats on your new adoption. =)
