We are a family that have been expecting our second child for over four years now. We started the adoption process in the spring of 2006, submitted our paperwork to China in September of 2006 and have been waiting patiently for a child since. We finally we got our referral and plan to have the process completed and travel to China this coming spring!

First Christmas





Our first Christmas with Bea was great. Although she decided to sleep in and O was not happy about having to wait to run down to open presents. As O was up at 2, and 2:30, then 4 and 4:30, then 5 and then 6 and 6:30, we finally woke Bea up at 7 to open presents. She was not as excited as O, but she got into the spirit after her second pack of Sixlets that was in her stocking.

Present unwrapping took quite a while as she would open one present and then want to play with that present instead of doing it the "right" way and just tear through all the presents fast as possible.

This is the favorite present. She likes to both sit and watch the trains and make fiery crashes.


Another favorite that quickly becomes annoying.


The background sound to my life is now those trains that are always on and running. Bea likes to make sure they are always on, even if they are not always on the track.
