I love this picture..


Sorry that I have not posted an update for awhile. Seems like there is never enough time in a day. The pictures I attached are from Easter. Alyssa could not wait for the easter bunny to come visit. At night prior to falling asleep, she would ask her mom, "Is the easter bunny coming?" Mom would reassure that he was coming but it wouldn't be for awhile. The night before easter, we told Alyssa that the easter bunny would be coming to her house tomorrow to hide easter eggs. She responded only with a warm smile PRICELESS!!!!
On easter sunday we all went to church. My grandparents were here visiting from Orange County and they went with us along with Julie's grandpa. It was nice. We when we got home, we put Alyssa down for her nap and when she woke up the easter bunny had come and left her an easter basket. He also hid a bunch of eggs in the back yard. My brother and his family came over. Alyssa and her cousin Brooke hunted for easter eggs. It was cute watching them. Alyssa would see another egg and scream "ANOTHER ONE!!" She had such fun, it brought so much joy to Julie and I to see her so excited and happy. I often wonder what her life in China would have been like. I thank God everyday that I will never know that answer because she is with us. After the easter egg hunt, Julie and I prepared a nice dinner for our family. It was a great day.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures and leave a post.

I've been blog browsing Steel Magnolia's blog roll. (she has such interesting people on her blog list!!)

I went back to your first postings and discovered that Alyssa is adopted from China.

I have an adopted 6 year old grand daughter...ALISSA (Ali)!! Isn't that coincidental? (not from China,though)

But, my daughter's friend has recently adopted a little girl from China....Olivia Ruth!

I'm glad I clicked your blog! Will visit often and keep up with that sweet little girl!!

Hi guys! Wow, it has been awhile since I have been on, but things look great out your way. Alyssa seems to be very happy with her life here in the states. I'm sure one day she will be able to express her apprecitation to you two! Keep up the good parenting, tell Julie hi for me, and give Alyssa a big hug for me! Love ya guys, Cat
