A Wonderful Grandmother


On August 19 we lost Madison's Great-Grandmother (Nana). Whenever we would visit with Nana or Madison would spend the weekend with her grandparents, Nana would always insist that we leave Madison there for a few more days. She took every opportunity to tell us how much she loved Madison. Madison loved her Nana too. No one could play patty cake like Nana. Madison would always seek Nana out for a round of patty cake and then just laugh. Nana was a wonderfully warm and funny person. These are a few of the photos that we have of Nana and Madioson

I am hoping to get some updated photos of Madison posted soon.

Friends and Fun in Denver.....

Madison and I went to Denver last week to meet friends and go to our adoption agency's annual picnic. We had a great time and were happy to meet face to face many of our friends: Hana (both she and Madison are from Wenzhou), Shayna, Talicee, Sun and Lydia. Madison did quite well traveling, but was not really interested in many of the outings due to being tired or over-stimulated.



I did not get to take alot of pictures. Traveling single with a 2.5 year old does not present much opportunity to take photos. Hopefully I will get some from my friends.

Abby and Madison: Abby was in our travel group to China. She was the youngest in our travel group. We also saw Lily at the picnic, but sadly was unable to get a photo of the three girls together.

Ready for Dinner at the White Fence Farm. Madison was not sure about the animals and insisted they were all "Good Dogs".

How much fun can three girls have with a bucket. Madison with Hana and Talicee.
