HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY TO OUR COWBOY JIMMY JAMES

Well he is four years old today! I can't believe he is four already. James my little buddy Mommy and Daddy love you with all our hearts. We hope you had a wonderful birthday filled with your favorite people, all of your preschool friend, family etc. Mommy and Daddy had a blast planning your cowboy birthday party. We can't forget to thank your brother Trey for being a Great Helper. We are so proud of you both. I know when we get your sister you both will help us plan the best Princess birthday party ever. I know you both love her already. James, you think she is coming in the mail. You ask the mailman everyday whether he has your sister in there. You are so cute, I get the biggest kick out of you. You are a wild one, but a blessing none the less. Today my wish for you is that you never lose that sweet and fisty personiality. One more thing, thank you Lord for my wonderful little Jimmy James. Good Night Sweetie

WHAT'S UP?

Ok, it has been a whole month since I posted. Where did March go. Well, this is what I have been up to: Our James is turning four this Sunday April 1, 2007. So I am busy planning his COWBOY Celebration. I have invited about 12 preschoolers and all but one is coming. My niece has agreed to help me by telling them a cowboy story by the campfire, which will include all of their names so that they have to listen closely. Then it is off to the indoor play area, which will be turned into a gold rush complete with choclate treasure coins hidden throughout, which they have to find. The menu for the day will be hot dogs, homemade crockpot mac and chesse, and a very tasty receipe of sloopy joes, and of course cake. James and my grandma Betty share the same birthday, difference is that he is four and she is 90 something. She looks awsome! I promise to post pictures of the complete day.

Ok the other things that are taking up alot of my time lately is ME. I love to workout. And require it for my mentel health, however I have in the past only done cardio no strength trainning. So at the begin of March I had a personal trainer develop my very own program. I have to say I am enjoying my workouts even though they are very hard and feel rediculious at times
(lifting such heavy weights) I love seeing the FAT go away (inches) my clothes fitting better etc.

We also only have four more weeks until Disney. So I am getting everyone ready for this vacation. I went through the boys clothes. James has grown like a weed. Trey has gotten taller, but can still get one more season out of his shorts etc. Now that we have completed our family as far as boys go. I am cosignning all James clothes. All of this $$ that I make will go towards redoing Katerina'sroom. Can't wait for that.

Gymnastics and Sparring

Trey is now a purple belt in Karate. We are so proud of him for sticking with his commitment. This has not been easy for him, but we told him you have to stick with it until April when our membership is up. We did think he may change his mind, but he has not, so it is on to Hockey. James takes gymnastics every Wed afternoon, he loves it. We have signed him up for Snow Plow Sam Skating Class. He will also play soccer in the Fall, he is not old enough to play Spring soccer, however he has his shoe and shin guards already and I am sure will go fully dressed to Trey's games.

Put Your Helmet On

Don't these guys look so cute in their helmets. Trey is now taking figure skating lessons and will be going to hockey school at the end of March. Trey just got his helmet today, we have been collecting his necessary equipment, but the helmet is special. Look into his big brown eyes and see the passion and excitement. I love his determination, he knows what he wants to do and has conviced us to permit him to transition from Karate to Hockey. He has been doing karate for the last two years and it was great for him. Time to move on and I have to let go and support him in his new sport. James on the other hand is just getting started, he wants to do everything big brother does, but he is not old enough for much right now. So we wait for the magic age of 4, this April. James helmet is a Chinese fighter polit, which dh had to have. It did come in handy today, when Trey got his new helmet.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL

Ray and I went to dinner last night to celebrate alot of things: First, we were celebrating officially being pregnant again, being logged into China is the equalant to being pregnant, only I am glad I don't have to carry this one for 18 months, which will be our wait time to referral, which is a picture and medical report of our daughter. The second , was Chinese New Year, so in honor of the New Year we remembed last year: It was last March that we started our paperchase to adopt, had our paperwork stolen in July, bought a van in Oct ( getting prepared to have a third child) and we were done with our paperchase in Dec, and are planning a April trip to Disney, and LID ( logged in date) to China, which was Feb 4, 2007. We are so blessed!

OUR MOON

Katerina, our princess, our daughter, We know you are looking at the same moon, so even though we are on the other side of the world I feel very close to you when I look at the moon. This picture was taken outside our bedroom window. I hope to have you here on this side of the world looking at the moon together, but until then thank you God for the blessing of our moon.
