The perfect place for color recognition practice with Alexis
Too hot! Let's go home!
Like cold water to a weary soul, so is good news from a distant land. Proverbs 25:25

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.

Update
Just some quick updates. It has been very difficult to keep up with this blog. How do people do this on a daily basis!
Anyway...Alexis and John are doing really well. John turned 15 last month and Alexis turned 2 1/2.. No big celebrations just family and few friends close to us.. Easter was celebrated the same way. Alexis got the hang of it and by the fourth egg hunt she was a master in finding those eggs. We are set with plastic eggs for next year that's for sure. It was a looong Easter weekend but we celebrated with everyone.
Alexis was supposed to have her third surgery in March but she was doing so well with her ST that we decided to postpone it until the summer (July 5th.) and concentrate on her speech. Her speech is going well and she really enjoys going every week to the DM center and "play" with J and Ms. S.
Her favorite words are CAR and YELLOW, but when she says Oh com'n! we just laugh. Too cute.
She is still eating very well and we have a 35lb. girl with a lot of energy. Her favorite foods continue to be vegetables. She does not like meat too much. Rice, all kind of beans and yogurt are her favorites and fruits like peaches and mandarin . Loves soups and not a big fan of pizza and fries..yea! We eat pasta.The only thing that she would not eat is mint.
Last weekend we drove up to Jacksonville and she did really well. John F. really helped keep her occupied. She had to sleep with us because she did not like the crib at the hotel. She's such a good sleeper at the house that we let her sleep in the king size bed. The hotel was conveniently located at a big shopping center with restaurants so it was great to just go down and walk everywhere with the stroller without the hassle of the car seat. We were in Jacksonville because John had State piano competitions and won a trophy. I'm going to try to post a video of him playing. but for now, you can view a You Tube video here and here and here from a couple of years ago{Scherzo in E minor by Karp, Tarantella by Pieczonca and Solffeggieto by Bach). Enjoy.
