Welcome...

Hello... Welcome family and friends. This blog was started so you could follow our adoption journey to our daughter in China...Crystina Luz ChenLi. Now, it's to follow our everyday adventures with 2 active young children, who are growing SO fast, Crystina & Ethan and 2 playful Yorkies, Lola and Bertha.

I'm thankful for...

At school Crystina was asked what she is thankful for....
Isn't it sweet?? My thoughtful girl ADORES her brother! And vice-versa...
They play and get along really well...they also love to hug each other, especially before bed time. Don't get me wrong...they FIGHT like cats & dogs. But the way they get along is......well PRICELESS.

It's been 3 years!!!

3 years ago today...Crystina was placed in our arms! I can NOT believe 3 years have passed by! It has been an amazing 3 years, so far... Can't wait to see what GOD has in store for Crystina...and Ethan too!

Crystina is now in Pre-K and she is loving it! She wakes up every morning asking if she is going to school today. And when I tell her "YES!" she gets SO excited!! : )

Crystina...on "Gotcha" day!! She was such a baby!
Crystina...3 years later! She is such a BIG girl!

1st day of school (PreK)

Crystina started Pre-K today! She was SO excited!! I, on the other hand, was SO nervous for her!

When we dropped her off, she did really good! Ethan....not so much. Let's just say that he cried enough for the both of us!! ; )

She had a really wonderful day!! She can't wait until tomorrow.........

Crystina, ready to go!
Here we go.........!!
She is SO ready to learn!!
