January 2010

We've come in to the New Year with a positive attitude of gratitude.
The girls are getting along so much better, they even play together.
LuLu has become much more calm with her emotions. No more tantrums! Once in a while a melt down, but the tantrums like in China and for the first six months of being home are no more!! Thank you God.
I have had to stay on top of it, and really have been very stricked with her, which has been exhausting, but she is proving to me that what I have been doing is working!! What more can you ask for.
We as a family are getting more used to each other and falling more and more in love.
I have been waiting a very long time to hear this and last night it happened!!
Regina and LuLu were playing and Regina said from her heart "I love you LuLu" and LuLu said "I love you too Jinga" WOW music to my Mama heart!!
LuLu's English is getting better everyday, but she still has some difficulties so we are taking her to be evaluated.
I'm going to keep up with the blog until we meet our one year anniversary with LuLu. After that a book will be made and no more blogging.......we will see about that!
Enjoy the pictures of some of our outings in January 2010!

LuLu's first boo boo







LuLu first ski experiance




First ski day! LuLu loves it, she laughed all the way down the little hill!! The one of her crying was because she was mad that she didn't get to go on the chair lift like her big sister! LuLu says LuLu mad, no fair! Crosses her arms and shrugs her shoulders with her head down. It's very hard not to laugh when she does this!
