Alright, I am not even going to look at this blog to see how long ago I posted (but I’m sure it’s been a LONG while – OK I peeked – it’s been like three months – YIKES)! Lots of stuff have been going on around here and I have been busy with two kids on my heels. I’ve been spending most of my on-line time over at my book blog, now reviewing books sent to me by various publishers and authors. For a bibliophile like myself, it’s a dream!
It will be a year next month that we traveled to China to get Maya – a year filled with wonder, happiness and amazement. My oldest has just about finished Kindergarten and has also learned to read. Maya is a running, jumping, somersaulting twenty month old who is now starting to say more that just Bye Bye and DaDa. It’s also been a time of worry and heartache as my Mother is still very ill.
I’ll be keeping this blog up for a while longer, but feel that having an “adoption” blog is kind of obsolete at this point, so one day good ole F&C will be deleted. In the meantime, let me show you what we will be doing for most of the summer…

Thanks for following along on our journey to becoming a family of four. Have a wonderful, happy and safe summer. Peace.

I’ll follow your blog wherever it may be. LOL Have a great day!
Oh my, they’re getting so big and gorgeous! Can I come by for a little slip and slide?
My goodness they’ve gotten so big! Enjoy your summer with these little darlin’s.
And so sorry to hear your Mom is still sick. Will be sending good thoughts.
The girls look darling… Leah looks so grown up!
Shelley forwarded me your email and I am so very sorry to hear about your mom… I can only begin to imagine how devastated you must be… ((hugs)), Steph and take comfort in those sweet girls of yours.

We will keep her in our prayers. Your family is beautiful and I am so glad to hear that you are doing well. I would love to hear from you and catch up. Sending you love across the miles…..and years!
