2010 was such a whirlwind! We hope to take it a bit slower in 2011 and take the time to enjoy every moment with Maysen! Time goes so fast! My hope is for all of you to enjoy this coming year as well and enjoy your blessings!

I thought I should at least show an updated pic of our cutie--there are more pics at: http://www.aprilshowersbringmayflowers.shutterfly.com

Sorry to all the blog-followers--I had to change to Shutterfly while in China, to make it simple to blog--I had so many issues while in China, that I didn't really get to blog much anyway! All's I have to say is that I'm glad we went and I'm glad we are home w/our daughter Maysen Elle--she's adorable and a bundle of personality!

TWO MORE WEEKS!!! (and THREE more until we meet our baby girl!!) Too exciting!! :)

Well, I'm a great blogger aren't I? It's been very busy (thank goodness!) and I am just in disbelief that we will be leaving in 2 1/2 weeks! I need to practice packing! I can't wait to meet all the other adoptive families as well--I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve! I've been reading up and listening to all the do's and don'ts of what to pack, eat, see...etc, but I'm sure I'll still be unprepared for our first experience in a foreign country (with a little one adding to all the adventure!) Happy travels to all the others who are on their way!

We have our tickets to leave May 4th to Beijing! It seems like a long wait, but we have something going on every weekend until we leave, so that will help. We will meet Liu Dang for the first time on May 10th--we'll have time to see the sights in and around Beijing and Guiyang--we can't wait!

Okay, no more crabbing--it's just going to be what it's going to be! I guess this gives me time to lose those last 10 lbs? Shadow says, "yippee!" This means she gets more walking! I'll have to sit and make some more goals to "busify" myself--yes, I've made a new word-I like it!
