Absolutely adoring Amy's antics

We are in awe with professional photography







A professionally photographed picture is worth a thousand words. We picked photos today for enlargement and framing. These are just some of the DISCARDED PROOFS!!!!!

I'm back to work tomorrow and thankful for the greatest adventure to Shanghai, Beijing, Nanning, Guilin, and Guangzhou. I had lots of time to bond with Amy, learn how to be a mommy, sip expensive coffee drinks at Starbucks, walk the neighborhood, the park, and the beach. I took many regular and hot yoga classes, including an awesome yoga seminar in MD. I visited Mom in MD, and attended my neices' Bat Mitzvahs. We have enjoyed the beach many times. I have read lots of parenting and adoptive parenting literature. I've been to the pediatrician three times, and the lab for blood draws twice. I've had lots of lunches and dinners with friends to show Amy off. We've been to Target ten times and Walmart once. I've received an extraordinary amount of amazing gifts, so much that I've hardly had to buy anything. Amy and I did an 8K, and she has seen 2 IMAX movies. She and I have done baby yoga twice. We have dined as a family at Bella Pasta, One Fish Two Fish, PF Chang's, Sakura, Yamato, Vietnam Gardens, Macaroni Grill, and other eclectic eating establishments. She is at peace at daycare, which gives me great comfort. If we knew then what we know now, we would have half a dozen daughters from China.

Great photos of the entire family. Don, I think you should be a model. I don't remember you being this good looking. When did that happen? All kidding aside, wonderful photos!

These pictures are just beautiful! You were very wise to do them-you should do them every year to see the changes in Amy.
Ron has been at camp also. He was whipped yesterday after shoveling 5 tons of gravel.
We are anxiously awaiting your visit in July.
Love, Ron and Chris

Janet,
What awesome pictures, what a beautiful family you are. Hope all goes well as you go back to work.
Watching your progress over the last several months has meant so much to me, now I believe that I can do it too.!
All the best to you all,

Hi Janet,

Karli,
I wasn't sure if you are reading these comments. Yes I read that you are invited to camp. I'm not sure if you said if you could come. Please remind me. Will you be there? Thanks Pal!

Janet - Don't let all these comments about how beautiful you guys are get to your head. People are mostly just being polite. After all, it's not like you're Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their African kids.

those "African kids"...are HER daughter...how derogatory.
Don't think you'd want your niece referred to as "That chinese kid"

Anonymous - Didn't mean to get your pc hackle up. Sorry about that.

By the way, Amy is my only niece and a blessing to Janet and Don and I'm thrilled that she is now part of our family, and, yep, she's a Chinese kid.
