Today we celebrate one month as a family of three. It is so hard to believe that it has already been one month! I feel like it has been quite a bit longer than that. When we think about how far she has progressed..just in one month...we are amazed! She is doing so well. Trust me, we have our days....good and not so good..but all in all...its been pretty stinkin' good! :)

We are truly grateful to our God and King. This season just brings a smile to my face. Even more so this year when we reflect on God's goodness and His provision.

ALL PRAISE TO OUR GOD AND KING!

For wonders He has done!

Sippy Cup and McDonalds

I think I like the ketchup more than I like the french fries!

Yummy ketchup
Lydia was sucking the ketchup off the french fries...too cute

"Oh, yea, I am going to need a bath after this!"

I couldn't resist...introducing "Princess Harlow"

Loving this sippy cup!

How do I get liquids out of this one?

Cool..haven't seen this one before.

Today was a busy day. We went to Wal-Mart to find some gloves (we lost our previous pair) and a winter coat. Then we headed off to see our friends at Prospect Latin School. Lydia had so much fun playing on the "castle" and she even had to go up and down some stairs. I think that may have been the first time for stairs. She did okay going up the stairs, but we really need to practice going down the stairs. The kids in my old class loved her. Especially the boys! They were sweet to share with her and show her some games. They were also excited to show Lydia their Christmas tree and some neat books. Thank you PLS for such a fun trip!

After our fun time at PLS, we headed home for lunch. For some odd reason, I was craving a Quarter Pounder from McDonald's. I have no idea why. We hardly ever eat any fast food. Oh, well! I thought, I am going to try getting her a Happy Meal and see if she will eat the food. Well, the chicken nuggets were pretty nasty...but I put a bunch of ketchup in her box and gave her a french fry. She loved the ketchup! She kept on sucking the ketchup off the fry! It was too cute. I am not sure if she liked the french fries or not. Either way...it was a fun experience.

Then, after naptime, our friend Vanessa came over and brought a yummy pizza for dinner and hung out with Lydia and I. We had fun, talking about China, sharing our China video, and a bunch more! Lydia liked giving (we like to call her Auntie Nessa) her hugs!

When all was said and done...Baba came home and Lydia was so happy! We miss him during the day! Lydia finally went to sleep around 9:45pm. She was exhausted.

Tomorrow is a stay at home day. Did I say that I love being a mom??????

New discoveries and pictures!

Whoa! Do I look good or what?

Possibly the first time with play dough

She was kind of scared at first...then she saw Momma play with the play dough...then she picked some up!

Yesterday we had a great day exploring new things..puzzles, play dough, dress up, music..it was fun! She did great! She is growing more and more each day!

Today, we head out for some errands. She likes going out. :)

Have a super day...from the Super family!

I apologize for not posting until now. Life has been a lot busier around the Super household! :)

Tomorrow John's parents are coming in from Ohio for our Thanksgiving meal and on Sunday, Lydia gets baptized! We are so excited! Lydia has been doing so well. We thank the Lord for His abundant grace and mercy towards us! It has been challenging..but so good! We truly have much to be thankful for...truly.

All who are local and would like to come to Lydia's baptism, it will be this Sunday (11/30) at our church. The address, time of service is located on their site...which is posted on our blog homepage. All are welcome! Hope to see you there...it will be a very special day.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and we look forward to SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!

Grateful for God's goodness...and love.....John, Claudine and Lydia Super

What a great day!

Who you lookin' at?

Seriously, is she not the cutest?

Pastor's sons made this for Lydia...I think she likes it!

Checking out the textures!

Today was an awesome day! We didn't get much sleep last night, but that is okay. Little Lydia is still trying to get on EST. :)

We just had a wonderful day. Lydia tried eggs and actually liked them! She also had some organic apple cinnamon oatmeal and loved it too.

Later in the day, we stopped by our favorite Italian deli to pick up some yummy Italian food. John and I were totally craving it! We stopped by the bank and said hello to everyone, then stopped by the Pastor's home for a quick visit. Lydia was having too much fun! On our way home she fell asleep..too cute!

When we got home to eat, Lydia woke up and was ready for some grub. We had some Italian soup for Lydia...she LOVED it! Then she had some leftover mashed potatoes and corn...couldn't stop eating it. I then put the bowl of mashed potatoes and corn on her highchair with her spoon. I was teaching her to feed herself. After several tries...she was doing it herself...she was a pro!

She is adjusting so quickly. Much quicker than we expected!

Baba and Momma are getting along fine...we love being parents!
