Wow...it is hard to believe that around this time LAST year, we had our referral from the Adoption agency about Bella......had a couple of photos of her, and were just waiting our travel plans....
A LOT has changed since then.......Bella is a part of the family, and it is like she has ALWAYS been with us.....she just fits right in.......I will Try and update as much as I can about what has transpired since we've been home, including updated photos of Bella....Zachary....our family.....but, for the time being, just wanted to say that all are happy, healthy and well, and we are so glad to have Bella in our lives.
As most of you know, Bella was born May 10th, 2006, so she will be celebrating her 2nd Birthday this year...She is very very VERY active (more so than Zach was at this age) and certainly gives us a run for the money......She eats and sleeps FANTASTIC (she would eat all day long if we gave her the opportunity, so that hasn't changed since China)........She is healthy and happy and is speaking better each day.......
Tina just pointed out to me that she is a budding artist, as she is trying to decorate our hallway and kitchen walls with her 'stenciling' technique....
Zach is doing great as well....He is now in the first grade......He does great in school, has been doing karate for almost a year now (and seems to really enjoy it and does very well with it...very focused).....He also plays soccer in the spring, and basketball in the fall (mmmm possible scholarship would certainly help defray some of the college costs...).....but, like all kids his age, his first love is.......Video games...! Yes, when WE were his age, we'd be outside from sunrise to sunset.....but not this generation of children...they would prefer to defend Earth from attacking alien life forms found on their Playstation 2 or X Box system........Oh well....least it's something that Dad can play with him (although, last tally in the Backyard Football challenge? Zachary 8 Wins; Dad: 1........
We dont know who will be reading this anymore.....yes, i stopped when we got home from China.....and, well, feel like now's a good time to provide updates, one year (or there about) later.....We can use this to provide updated photos...information....milestones....for those interested.......We do feel bad that we've been home for almost a year, and there are a lot of friends that still haven't meet Bella..........We're hoping this spring...summer, that can change.....
Next update will mostly be photos....
