We traveled to China.....





We had great food!!

We saw many sights.

Some brooms for Auntie Caryn, and some skinny chickens for Uncle Chris!



We had a Red Couch photo shoot!



We managed to find our way around - even though we couldn't read the signs.

And, we had many admirers everywhere we went!!

We were blessed by the Monks.



We went to Jordan's.

We went to Lucy's.

We tried to run, however, we couldn't hide from the dreaded Squatty Potty!!

We said goodbye to China, in hope to visit again.

We arrived home.

A new American citizen!

Our Jillian Rose!!

Where did the time go??!! We just don't know!! So many changes. My, how we've grown!!

We've had a first birthday.

We've had a year of holidays, first steps, first words, even surgery!!

We've laughed, we've cried, we've been frustrated, we've been worried, and we've been the happiest we could ever be!!

The world is more colorful, and magic is in the air!!

All because of this beautiful little girl, no longer a baby. Just breaks my heart to have her as a baby for such a short time! Our little girl is already growing up!!

Yes, the word that is most descriptive could only be: MAGIC!!!
