Happy Gotcha Day...One Year Ago!!

"Happy Gotcha Day!!!"

Lydia at 2 1/2 years old...cute as a button in her Chinese outfit.

One year ago today...our family of 3 began.

To God be the Glory for the things He has done.

Fall 2009

Outside our front yard. The sky was awesome looking.

We dressed Lydia up with her Ladybug costume, but didn't go out for trick or treats. We stayed inside and hung out and played. It was fun!
(Lydia can't eat candy anyway--and we didn't want to eat any candy) :)

This is one of my favorites..the sun was shining in softly on her face.

Need I say more...she is sooooo cute!

Tree in our yard..Fall 2009

We love the Fall season!!!

Everyone..don't forget to change your clocks back ONE hour this weekend! Enjoy!

Thank you Shayla!!!

Lydia loves her new coloring book! She loves to color!!

Cheeeeese!

Lydia's scary teeth! They kept on popping out of her mouth..we were all cracking up!

Her new ghostly headband!

We received a surprise package from one of Lydia's buddies from China.

Lydia was in the store one day and saw a halloween card that she wanted to get for Shayla and we sent it to her along with some cute halloween stickers..well..a couple of weeks later Lydia received a package from Shayla! She was so happy! Lydia put Shayla's picture on the fridge and points to it all the time.

Thank you Shayla!

Hope everyone has a safe and happy halloween.

Weekend Fun!

Lydia getting ready for the Ohio State game.

Go Buckeyes!

This Ohio State outfit came from NiNi and Papaw. It finally fits her!

Here is Lydia taking our picture...

Here is Lydia taking my picture. By the way, I have pig-tails because Lydia had pig-tails..so we had some fun!

Cheeeeeeeeeessssseeee!

Lydia wanted a picture with Dadda too. She also wanted him to wear pig-tails so we had to explain that Dadda's don't wear pig-tails. :)

Having fun with lots of bling-bling!
