So sorry everyone! It's been a crazy summer. Andrew's into everything and keeps me really busy. We've had a number of milestones to occur in our lives since we last updated you. June 27th was my 48th b-day! Sometimes I feel all of 48 and more and other days I feel like I'm 20 something! Just depends on how the days gone and how much sleep Andrew has allowed me! LOL! We celebrated at PF Chang's for my birthday. (Picture of me and Andrew outside). Andrew enjoyed his lo mein and me the marinated lamb. We all had a enjoyable time with our friends and family!
On July 9th we all had a surprise b-day party for our friend Teresa for her 50th! We met a Yancey House and did it up right! Happy Birthday Tree!( She's the one with the tiara and sceptor!)
The end of July we went to my parents and celebrated my sister Nora's birthday and Andrew being part of our family for 4 months!. We are so blessed! It's now almost 5 months! We got a picture of my Dad and Andrew, the 2 Carolina fans! Dad graduated from Carolina. (That's the picture with the proud Papa holding the "kid" in the Tarheel outfit).
Andrew now even enjoys brushing his teeth! He's learned to climb the ladder at McDonald's so he can go down the slide. He's even climbed all the way up one of them to go down the really big slide! He's becoming quite the daredevil! He started turning somersaults while we were at Mom and Dad's.
He started play and speech therapies this week and did really well. My little one graduates and moves up to the 2 yr old class this Sunday. He's been having a really good time in the toddler room. He was even starting to join in at circle time. He had really good teachers and we really appreciate all they did.
I'm going to be joining the MOPS program at church this fall We had orientation Tuesday night. My good friend Karen is my table leader. We're going for a play group this Monday to get to know the rest of the Moms at our table and let the children get to know each other before they start Moppets.
Andrew's been learning a lot of new signs lately and is starting to enjoy the DVDs of Baby Einstein and Veggie Tales more. We've also enjoyed watching the Olympics in Beijing! It has brought back a lot of memories for me. Some day I hope to return to China and show him the country he was born in and that gave us the joy of our heart! We have definitely seen more of the Great Wall than we did the day we were there. No snow and fog to block the view! Definitely looks warmer. We remember T. square, the Forbidden City also on that cold drizzly day. It was warmer the day we went to the Summer Palace. The whole city looks beautiful and I remember it fondly. Wish we could go back and be with all our dear friends and share it all over again with our new children! I miss you all dearly! We continue to pray for you all.
We will be dedicating Andrew at church on September 14 before he has surgery on the 24th. We'll have family and friends here for a big get together. We're hoping Kevin's folks will be able to be here from Nebraska! That's plenty for now, Andrew will be waking up soon and I still have a lot to do. Will try to update more regularly.
Love to you all!
Lisa
