One year ago today......we were flying from Beijing to Nanchang in preparation for meeting our precious little girl. Emma Kate was placed in our arms and we have never looked back. Can't imagine what life would be like without her! She is a joy to us. I was thinking aobut what she was able to do when we met her. She could not sit up by herself for long, she was very quiet (very little babbling), wanted to eat any thing other than congee (a Chinese dish like rice soup), loved to watch people, was a good sleeper, did not have much of a smile on her face. Today, we have a happy, active (walking and running all over), still a good eater, babbling so much more and saying some words now, still loves to watch people but also wants to interact with them and is still a good sleeper. She gives us kisses and hugs and loves to be snuggled.
Congrats to Brian, Stephanie and Sylvie on their special day too! Thanks to Douglas, Erica and Katie for being there with us to celebrate that special day. The only thing that would make this day more perfect is if I was not sick. We have had a stomach bug going around in our house and it is my turn. Yuck.
Here are two family pictures....the first one from Gotcha Day and the other from our beach trip in May. The difference is amazing to me! We love you Emma Kate!!!

Thanks to everyone who supported us through this journey. It was a long journey which ended with such a sweet ending.
I know I have not done a post for June 2011 yet. I am working on it and hope to post it soon. Love to you all! Calvin, Kathy and Emma Kate (and Cooper too). |
