Spring Weather

The weather has been so nice. Sofia loves to be outside. Hope everyone is outside enjoying the weather.

Love without Boundaries

I found a photo on the LWB Blog tonight. I tried to copy and paste it on the blog but it would not let me. The photo has Steve and Sofia in it. (Well part of them) I guess the orphanage puts the family photo's on the wall. I have emailed LWB to see if they would send me the photo's they took at Qingliu. You can see that Steve has his bears shirt on. http://lwbchinablog.blogspot.com/search/label/qingliu

New outfit

Sofia got a new outfit on Sunday. She wanted to show off her new purse, shirt and shorts. Grandma and Grandpa came over yesterday. Sofia was trying to put her shoes on Grandma's feet.

Quilt Photo's

Grandpa kept Sofia busy while grandma and mama shopped. Did you see her new purse?

Sofia's first Quilt Show

Sofia went to her first quilt show today. We took lots of photo's but they are on grandma's camera. So when we get the photo's we will post them. I bet grandma will want to take Brody to his first quilt show when we are in Florida. We also went shopping. I bought Sofia another purse. I was told a girl can never have too many.

Play Date

Sofia had another play date. We all met at Dani and Vince's house on Saturday. We played, then we went out for dinner. The girls did really well at the steakhouse. Then back to Dani and Vince's house to play some more. We all enjoyed the play date.

Sofia's Swimsuit

Sofia, grandma and mama are going to Florida. We are going to see Brody, Aunt Leigh and Uncle Nick. Brody will turn 1 while we are down there. Sofia got a new swimsuit for the trip. She wanted to show off her new suit.

Surprise Visit

Today Sofia had a visitor. Alyssa stopped by. I just wanted to let everyone who has and still is posting comments on the blog that we are going to print the blog out. We thought Sofia would love to have a book made from the blog. Thank you, to all that have posted comments. Please keep them coming I enjoy reading them and I know Sofia will too some day.

It's been 5 mos.

Sofia has been home for 5 months. It does not seem that long ago we were getting off the plane in Chicago. A lot has happen in the 5 months since Sofia's been home. I took some pictures yesterday to mark the 5mos. Sofia got her first coloring book and color crayons. Daddy showed her how to color in the lines. (Ha Ha) I think she is going to be right handed. I thought for sure she would be left handed when we first came home.

The Easter Bunny

Our first Easter together. Today was a very busy day, just look at the last photo of Sofia. You can't see it but her hair is all over the place. We started the day off with Sofia finding her Easter basket. Then it was off to church. After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa T's house. They bought Sofia a Easter basket and a Big pink bunny. After Grandma's and Grandpa's house we came home. (Daddy had to work today.) Sofia and I went to my sister house and ate lunch. Sofia got more Easter presents. The Easter bunny was sure good to Sofia and the boys this year.

The purse

SAMMY

We suffered a great lost yesterday. Our Sammy (bunny) is in heaven. It's been one of the hardest day's. Sammy touched so many of us. With his cute flops and running around with stuff in his mouth. Sammy will always be with us in our hearts forever. As Sofia gets older we will tell her the great joy Sammy brought to us.

Sofia's First Purse

Sofia got a purse today from Grandma Rockton. It's pink with green butterflies on it. It also came with a pink dog. The photo's I took somehow got deleted. So we will have to get some with the new purse later. Sofia also got a new spring jacket. Its a Tommy Jean Jacket. Sofia was modeling her new stuff for mama today.

Easter Egg Hunt

Sofia went to her first Easter Egg Hunt. She had so much fun finding the eggs. The girls all shared with one another. I love the photo of the three girls playing with the plastic Easter eggs. If only they would have looked at me. I tried and tried but they were too busy with the Easter eggs.

Purse snatcher

Sofia stole my purse, so I had to call the police. Lucky for me daddy was in uniform and came to my rescue. As you can see daddy, took care of the situation. Sofia was sentenced to mama home cooking!!!! Sofia was having such a good time dragging it all around the house. I guess she needs her own purse.

Dreaming of Florida

Sofia's Grandma, Aunt Stacy and Brandon came over. Sofia got more summer clothes. Brandon was trying to get Sofia's shoes and she didn't want him touching her. Grandma and Grandpa T are going to Florida. Sofia told mama and daddy she would love to go to Florida. She wants to go play on the beach.

The Park

We took Sofia and the boys to the park. It's been so nice to get out and enjoy the fresh air. When we got home we ate lunch and then it was time for a nap. I was looking in Sofia's closet and had to take pictures of all her shoes. She is taking after her mama. A girl can never have too many shoes (Right)
