Finally ... An update!

Well, we've been home for about 10 days now... and I have some *bug* again -- yuck!!

I'm just hoping that I don't give this to Anne Marie! Mike is doing well -- and taking care of both of us - quite well might I add!!

Anne is doing great ! She's playing with lots of new toys -- seems to love the puzzle and Noah's ark that we got @ the shower the best at this point.

She's sleeping great! She's mostly sleeping through the night -- she occasionally gets up once in the night, but a quick bottle and she's back asleep. She's sleeping in her own room in her own crib even.

She's trying all kinds of new foods -- is eating most everything - but hates strawberries!

The cats are doing really great with her and she really likes them. Charlie tries to stay away from her when possible, but Elizabeth lets her pet her and sits by her, until she's had enough anyway -- but it's much better than we expected -- so we're happy!

Enjoy a few of the updated pictures. We'll try to send more out when I have time!

We're Back!!

Finally -- we're home!!

I'm so sorry we were not able to update the blog from China. I think a lot of you all were able to get the e-mails we sent, but for those of you who were not, we're sorry! We will update our blog in the next few days with some pictures so you can see what we sent out with e-mails.

We're so glad to be home -- We were not able to access our blog the 1st two places we were, then by the time we were able to get to the 3rd city and were able to access the blog, we were sooooooo busy with Anne, paperwork and our nasty *flu-bug* we got , that I was not able to get time to get to the computer to update the blog!!

What an amazing trip we had!! WOW!! Talk about life changing!!

Anne Marie is going great! She's trying to get back on an *eastern time zone* sleep schedule, and dealing with all the new things, new pets, new people, but we think she's going good! She can get a little overwhelmed sometimes, but we're trying to take things slow for the first couple of weeks home! It's great because Mike doesn't have to go back to work until March 5th, so we have some great family time here at home.

Well, it's time for me to get breakfast ready before everyone wakes up, so I will try to take some time to post pictures very soon!

Thanks to you all who prayed for us while we were gone! We are very blessed and things went well, and we know that God has even more wonderful things in store for us!!
