Summer 2010

Sooo.....Alexis is doing well. About surgeries,basically, we (once again) pushed it back a week to have a nice relaxing 4th of July. It will be the 12th instead of the 5th. Her pre-op visit was as always easy and short. The surgeon is amazed how well things are going with her. After the surgery, we basically visit the surgeon "from time to time". But he told us to just enjoy life and "check in every once in a while" as she grows.

We had a great Memorial day weekend. We stayed at a h.otel and it was sunny and beautiful. We were at a musical festival where John competed in piano and drums. He also was part of the pit at a play and with 2000 students, guess who was the real show of the weekend.... Ms. Alexis Nicole! She really is a people person. Hugs, kisses and smiles to everyone.
The week after Memorial day, John had a Classical Concert and Awards dinner and Alexis missed that one. It was a beautiful night where we enjoyed a nice meal and good music and conversation without running after a 2 1/2 years old. Alexis stayed with her aunt and future God-mother who she adores.

After almost a year with Alexis we still can't believe we have this precious child with us. And after a year I can say I missed China the day after our return and I still miss C.hina today.

Oh Blogger! what a great way to document and remember this wonderful journey. I'm not a scrapbooker! So this is what I'll have to recall these wonderful days. Here are some pictures.
