Our Love girls

Our little valentine "love" girls...they were thrilled with their balloons, candy and high school musical plates..spent a few hours with NeiNei so we could go on a date. Saw the movie "Crazy Heart" and out to dinner..

busy week...Jia has not been to school at all-first President's Day and two snow days..about 20 inches of snow the past week.

had our first post adoption follow up visit with social worker today...girls were wound tight but pam won them over. then the girls and i danced to Sweatin with the oldies...they were tired out!

double trouble

So many fun activities in February-Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and Schwen's birthday. I had the girls try on the dresses Adam bought for them in China. Schwen was so happy with her dress and just kept giggling while looking at herself in the mirror.

We are taking the girls to Disney on Ice on Schwen's birthday. She will have a little party at school the day before and is so excited since many of her classmates have already celebrated their birthdays.

the yuk is here

We all have it ..the dreaded YUK...Adam is the sickest...the girls still manage to function. I had a few very restless nights of waking up with a sorethroat every 4 hours to take more ibuprofen. I was supposed to have a "girls weekend" this weekend with friends coming to town and we had hotel reservations...with the big great white blizzard (about 10 inches up here)..and the Radloff YUK it was best to postpone. Adam did not even feel good enough to get in the skidloader to clear out the driveway until close to 4:00 pm. I was forced to stay inside and was able to clean the two downstairs bathrooms (much overdue)...the girls played outside for about 40 minutes until Schwen's hands were too cold (why she took her mittens off I'll never know)...they came inside and took an hour and a half nap...they've been getting along pretty good today and with no prompting Jia said that she loved Schwen and Schwen said she loved Jia...

Happy February

the long month of January is now past and lots of things to look forward to in February...Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, a shower for my future daughter in law, a weekend with some of my best friends and Schwen's birthday!
