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!

Compare and contrast



As a quick look back, there have been a lot of changes over the past 7 months. Bea has gotten a lot bigger and has an ever increasing comfort level with us. Her language is really developing now and some words you can even understand without an interpreter. Things that haven't changed: she is incredibly strong, she eats a lot, she has an enormous amount of energy and she is stubborn. Things she loves: animals, cars and trucks, stuffed animals, blocks, airplanes, yogurt and random acts of destruction.


I think this was the first trip to the zoo.

The Ca-roo- sel

Because I haven't posted in a while, I am making one quick post. It's not new material, but I was going back through some videos and found what I believe is B's first ride on a Carousel. Note the look of confusion and fear on her face when the horse starts to move.

Birthday Part Un

B was born on Bastille Day. However, we like to keep the party going as long as possible. So here is her first birthday celebration along with one for O who's bday is just a few days later.


What she is thinking, "you crazy Americans. What are you up to now? You lit a cake on fire? Why? why do you do this? It's funny, but really weird."

It's not your size, but how low you can get

For no apparent reason, B started using our living room for NFL training camp tonight.

Sunday Ride

This was Jennifer's tricycle when she was little. Olivia had it and now it is being used by Beatrix.

Just don't make em like they used to.
