Family Day Celebration!!

We had a very weekend celebrating with Jordyn and friends and family. We took the girls on Saturday into NYC to go to the Disney store and to eat dinner at Mars2112. Jordyn and her Dad took the spaceship ride and met me in the restaurant part. The highlight of the weekend was when Jordyn asked how we were going to get home. If only going to Mars was so quick. The girls were a little afraid of the Martians but they had a great time. Today we celebrated with our family and friends. Jordyn was so happy a ll weekend.She loved watching the video of when she was a baby in China and how we became a family. She also really loves the book I made for her. Now I just have to really start Zoe's because she is definitely going to get the short end of the deal and have major 2nd child syndrome.

Family day!!!!

It was 4 years ago tomorrow that we became a family of 3. I remember it like it was yesterday. Dave and I were so excited- the anticipation of holding our baby in our arms was almost indescribable. We took 3 airplanes to get to Kunming and had about 2 hours to pull ourselves together before we were able to meet Jordyn.

Jordyn- you are such a blessing to us!! You were so quiet and scared when we met you, and now you are such a big girl, full of life and fun!! You are such a great big sister and we are always so proud of you. Happy family day!!!!!

4 shots!!

No- not the fun kind. Zoe went to the Pediatrician today and received 4 shots, she was quite the trooper. She is growing very nicely and really has the nicest way about her. Jordyn stepped up to the plate as a big sister and gave her some stickers.

On another note- I saw Angelina Jolie came home with her new son. Knowing all we do about how difficult it is for some children to transition ( especially a 3 year old) to new surroundings, I hope the press respects the fact that this boy has been through enough without them swarming around. Don't get me wrong I would love to be with Brad Pitt as my new surroundings, I just hope this child is not completely traumatized by all of this.

Although my children are not going to be on the cover of People this week- here are a few pictures.

We had such a nice time at the FCC-LI Chinese New Year party- Here are some pics!

Things are better

Ok- Fever has broken -Jordyn has gone back to school and all seems a little better right now. I will keep everyone very low key the next few days. Zoe has been talking so much-today someone on a tv show started to count- one and I heard her say two. Having a big sister is definately a plus.

Things here are pretty crappy

The past few days have sucked because the girls, especially Jordyn have been and continues to be sick. Zoe just seems to have a bad cold. Jordyn is going on her 7th day of fever. We took her to the "urgicenter" last Thursday night when she had 104.3- they told me I don't have to bring her in because they don't consider that to be dangerous-guess what- tough sh**, in our house that's a problem. I love the questions from the people on call, too. "Well, how does she look?" Me- "how do you think she looks with over 104- like crap".

We bring her in - they tell us it's viral - Fine I make them test her for mono and anemia. I'm still waiting for the results. I know it's only Monday and they didn't go out until Friday but I'm a little impatient. Today we had kindergarten registration and you must bring your child with you. So- she was out in the cold- waiting for our number- she was a champ. I bring her to my mom's after where she slept all day. I finally speak to my pediatrician-she wants to see her tomorrow if she still has fever-which she still does. So- that's it- I vented. I'm very upset, Jordyn has been sleeping all day and I just want her to feel better very soon- like tomorrow.
