I've procrastinated writing this post for some time because I've been at a loss for words (and time). Since I can't seem to get my thoughts together I've decided to let everybody in on the abbreviated, simple version of what we've been up to these last few months. As you have probably guessed if you saw the post a few weeks ago, we have been busily working on our second adoption. Liya is excited to become a little sister! Big sister is five years old and from China. She is described as active, independent, smart, stubborn, and silly. Sounds quite a bit like a certain two year old we know! She enjoys learning to play the piano and loves showing others how to play.
We are adopting through China's special needs program. Our little girl was one child of almost 2000 children on China's waiting child list. I will write about our daughter's special need at a later date. We are so thankful to know that she is living in an amazing medical foster home that looks out for her needs.
I'm sure everybody would love to see a photo and I am sorry to say you are just going to have to wait! Although it is not an official rule, we have been advised to wait on posting any public photos. The pictures we have seen of her are so sweet. She's always smiling for the camera and she has a dimple on her right cheek just like Liya!
We celebrated Liya's second birthday last week. I can't believe our baby is two! We gave her a Dinosaur Train train set in the morning. She had fun with mommy during the day and then we met daddy in town for some birthday frozen yogurt. She had her own cup for the first time and enjoyed every messy bite.
Birthday call from aunt Laura.

Fun with colored water.
Two hours later!
Yogurt with all the fixings: fruit and marshmallows.
