Busy, Busy, Busy

Just thought I would do a quick update!  We are all doing great.  Spencer continues to amaze us!  He is almost always smiling and laughing.  His favorite food has to be pizza, but hotdogs are a close second.  He cracks me up!!  He is starting to say a few more words and is very good at communicating without words.  We are still waiting for an orthopedic; however, he does not let his knee get in his way. 
Everyone else is doing great, too.  Ethan just finished his Eagle Scout project this last weekend, and Devin had his first job (watching a neighbor's dog).
Chris had a very relaxing Father's Day!  That made him very happy.  The kids are so blessed to have such a wonderful daddy!!!!!
Here are a few photos of the last week.

They are Home!

Chris, Ethan and Spencer arrived home Thursday evening!  It was such a wonderful homecoming, and we are thankful for everyone who shared the special event with us.  My favorite moment was when I picked him up.  He gave me a big hug and kissed me on the cheek!!

Spencer is doing better than I expected.  He has been sleeping through the night and eating most foods.  He acts like he has been home forever!  Seriously, it has been amazing. 

Here are more photos.  I will post more when time permits.

More China Photos

China and the Toothfairy

First of all, Isabelle lost her first tooth...teeth!  She lost her bottom two teeth within an hour of each other.  She was so brave and pulled them out herself!   One was lost in Toys*R*Us and the other in the van.  The toothfairy brought her $5!

The boys are still doing great in China.  They visited Shamian Island yesterday and had a great time.  Also, Spencer lost a tooth a few days ago.  The toothfairy gave him a gold coin.  Please pray that Spencer's passport will arrive on time for the Consulate appointment on Tuesday. It is being expedited from Changchun via Fed*Ex. We really don't want any delays!!! Here are a few more photos....

Visit to the zoo

The boys are still doing great in China.  They visited a palace and the zoo in the last couple of days.   They flew to Guangzhou last night.  I guess Spencer did ok, but he didn't like the seatbelt.  He has his visa medical exam today! 

Photos from day 2!

Spencer is still doing great! He is mimicking Chris and Ethan and being silly. We found out that he got gum in his hair resulting in his bald spot!! He seems very content and happy. 
Enjoy the photos....

They have him!!

Chris and Ethan met Spencer!  Wow!!!
They skyped us around 1:00 am this morning.  Spencer was full of smiles, and he definitely has some personality!  He was blowing kisses and waving.  He also pretended to use a toy car for a phone and talked and talked and talked!  As we were talking, he took an entire Oreo and stuffed it in his mouth.  Yep, he will fit right in!!!
He seems to be very smart and healthy.  Chris said he had a hearty appetite.  He told the translator that he can walk if someone holds his hand.  That is positive news to hear about his knee.  Also, it looks like he tried to give himself a haircut for us - oops!!!
Now the important part...photos!!
