Holly's adoption was finalized yesterday. When Mike got home at 9 PM we celebrated his 65th Birthday and Holly's adoption with Chinese food, always a big hit,  and Birthday cake from Publix, the best bakery in town.

Lunch in Mexico

I can't believe she ate the whole thing!

WHERE DO I BEGIN?

MERRY

 CHRISTMAS

HAPPY

NEW YEAR!

We have been crazy busy around here the last 8 weeks and I have missed posting. We took the pack to Disney the week before Christmas. Too much, I had to cut our vacation short because I needed more time to finish Christmas shopping.  I'm hoping to be more organized next year, but...I've had decades of practice and still end up shopping the morning of Christmas Eve, what makes me think next year will be any better?  I think I'll start shopping in the summer and wrap as I buy.  It's the wrapping that kills you!

  I got a new laptop a few weeks ago (my first) and can't get used to it. I don;t like the keyboard.  I miss my old dinosaur computer.

HAPPY

 65th

 BIRTHDAY 

to my sweetie

What a great dad he is, he spent his 65th birthday much like his 60th, alone on a plane completing an adoption.

5 years ago today Mike left Vietnam with 15 month old Austin and brought him home while I stayed behind and waited for 3 month old Paisley's paperwork to be completed.  Today he spent his 65th birthday on a plane completing our final adoption. 

WE HAVE A NEW DAUGHTER!

She is 15 yrs old and from China. What a little sweetheart she is. We are all in love with her.
