Memories

 
 
These pictures are of us and the Passey's at our adoption agency when we received our referral. Thought about them after we had our "your going to be home for 6 months update" last night. Our 6 month mark is actually Sept 22, but our social worker got ahead start. So much has happened since these pictures were taken. It has been an emotional rollercoaster. I think we have experienced every range in emotion. Our biological children really need to be thanked. They have been amamzing. Our follow-up visit went great. I think the social worker was a little dazed at all the commotion. Each child wanted to show him that Maylin liked him/her best. It was a crack up. Maylin kept patting him on the leg and blowing him kisses. She had him wrapped around her finger by the time he left. Today we had her 18 month check up. She will be 18 months on Sept 5. She weighs 21.5 pounds and is 32 inches long. She is in the 50% for her head, 55% for height and 35% for weight. She had 4 shots, total of 7 vaccines. Fevers have started. We won't get much sleep tonight.

Funny how so much can change in such a short amount of time.
I hate shots...they make Eliza and therefore me miserable.

With all that has happened this last year...let us keep a thought in mind that Trent has shared with me on more than one occasion. Sometimes when something happens that we weren't expecting we think it is really terrible...but then we find out that it is not...and in time it turns out to be exactly the thing that we wanted to happen. We need to be open to change, embrace it, and learn to see the possibilities in all things. I'm not good at that, but I am trying.

Did I just hear that?

Today I was at W*lM*rt and I had the WEIRDEST experience. I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it. I was at the self check out and the worker that handles those came over to Nini and put her hands on Nini's cheeks and literally put her nose against Nini's nose. Okay....don't know you, plus it is serious cold and flu season. I pulled the cart back quickly. The lady was talking to Nini and asking her how old she was and telling her how cute she is (she is that). Then she said to me, "where did you get her from?" That question threw me. I have been asked where she is from, what nationality she is, but never, "where did you get her from?" I said China, but was thinking, "does she think I got her from a store or something?" This was just the beginning of what was the MOST outrageous conversation I have ever been apart of. She asked me her name. I told her and she said, "Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that name."...

Maylin's room

Here is an update on painting. The doors continue to be a nightmare. We don''t have doors on the girls bathroom and no doorknobs on any of the other doors. Hopefully next week. I love everything else. Many of you asked about the glaze in the kitchen. It is an oil based glaze that comes in black, white, brown. You roll it on with a small roller and then take it off with a rag, by blotting it. You can make it darker or lighter depending on how much you put on and how much you take off. Here are pictures of Maylin's room. I was scared to make a change with 2 colors, but I think I like it. I don't know if you can tell but on the pink paint it is a wash (first white swirly, then pink) with light white flowers like the top pink ones. I picked words to go around her room that may inspire her. The Chinese translation is underneath. Of course, we used Meng, that was her first name...Meng ni and they called her Nini. The words are in vinyl and the flowers were painted using a pa...

Happily ever after

NieNie Dialogues: April 15, 2019 Christian is the most important person in Stephanie's life. She made this post about him. She wrote about how much she loved him and he loved her. Every year she dedicates a song to him as they enter another year as husband and wife. She said, "Everyday I pray to God, thanking him for Christian. I thank God that he is my husband, my protector, and greatest defender. I thank God that Christian loves and respects me.......And I thank God that I will be with Christian forever and even to infinity and beyond." I am not married, but I related to this post because I love my dad. He is my protector and my provider. He really takes care of our family. He is so great. I can tell my mom loves him too. Even though it embarrasses me, I love to watch my parents hug and kiss. I am glad we are sealed together. After reading this post, I decided I needed to write in my journal characteristics I want in a husband. These are the things I wrote: Must l...
