It seems like just yesterday was the first of the new year and here we are celebrating Valentines and Chinese New Year - wow!  Everyday is a new adventure with our girls and such a blessing too.  I must admit that there have been some tough days lately - don't know if it's just that our "honeymoon" phase is over and Megan is feeling much more "stable" at home and therefore acting out or what exactly - but it's been trying to say the least.  I'm learning new parenting skills because like everyone says - your second will be totally different than your first.  I think it's one of God's ways of keeping us on our knees.  :) 

Well, here's a glimpse of the fun stuff we've been up to ....

Making V-day cookies & crayons. 

At a local Chinese New Year celebration this weekend.  It was a wonderful time with many other adoptive families and performances by the local Chinese association.  The girls made CNY crafts and afterward they made their own fireworks - bubblewrap!

Today Nat hosted a Samantha Am*erican Girl mystery party for her friends.  I played Aunt Cornelia & Megan played Bridget.  The girls had a great time solving the mystery and having fun together on their day off from school.
