Hello World.... 2008

Tuesday, January 15, 2008
It's been almost a month since I've posted last and a lot has happened!

We had a crazy end to 2007 -

Jaydon's Christmas Program:
Jaydon's birthday:

Natalie's first Christmas and New Years:

but it was great to experience it as a family of four.

January has brought so many new adventures on the horizon. Jaydon and Natalie are doing great. Jaydon is back in school - he loves it. Natalie is doing good too - she is learning new words everyday. She is so happy and loves to explore all around her.

We had the chance to visit with Hao, Connie and Tammy -
one of the other families that adopted with us.
We met up in Orlando and had some Pho at Little Saigon,
one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants.




After lunch we headed over to IKEA and wandered around for a bit.
It was fun to see them again and see how much Tammy has grown.
We made plans to visit them in Tampa in February for the Chinese New Year.

Christopher and I have both made some big leaps for this year - Christopher is taking a night course at DBC (they aren't even a community college anymore - now they are Daytona Beach College!) and I have decided to go back to UCF in the fall to pursue my Master's Degree in Mass Communication. So that makes three members of our family in school this year. It is going to be a challenge but I think we can handle it.

Natalie got a haircut this week and it wasn't by the person that you would think. My dad was watching cartoons with the kids and he decided that Natalie couldn't see the cartoons well enough so - snip, snip, snip - there went her bangs! She has a standard asian haircut now - bangs cut in a straight line across the middle of her forehead. Don't worry though - she still looks so super cute.
