August 2007 Update
Well, another month of our wait for Lexi has inched by. I cannot
believe it’s been over 18 months!
This month we took a trip to Nashville for my 20th high school
reunion. Boy, does that make a girl feel old! Granmommy and
Grandaddy met us there and they were wonderful! They watched Zoe
the entire weekend. She even slept with them at night. What a
treat!!! She was so well behaved for them that Rob and I made a
huge decision. Since he has overcome his fear of flying, he
really wants to go to China this time around. And since Zoe did
so well with her grandparents, we’ve decided to change plans. My
Mom and Dad are now going to come to our house and watch Zoe
while Rob and I travel to China together to adopt Lexi. I’m so
excited about this decision for a number of reasons!!! Zoe won’t
miss any school nor will she run the chance of getting
traveler’s sickness. Rob will have the opportunity to see a bit
of China and its beauty. But most importantly, Rob will be there
with me when Lexi becomes a part of our family!!! This is going
to be so special for all of us! We’ll miss Zoe terribly, but we
know she’ll be in excellent hands and Lexi will have some time
to bond before having to share Mommy’s lap with her big sister.
The highlight of our trip to Nashville came when we met up with
my childhood dance teacher, Miss Ann. I was so excited for her
to meet Zoe. We had such fun catching up and visiting in her new
studio. Miss Ann also bought Zoe her very first pair of ballet
shoes, which she signed on the bottom. That makes those shoes
incredibly special!!!
This month we got Zoe a haircut, went to a baseball game, a
bounce house, and the aquarium. We also spent time enjoying
parks outside, and even went to a fair where Zoe rode her very
first rollercoaster. At the zoo, Zoe had the opportunity to
drive one of those Fisher Price cars. Thank God she won’t be
sixteen for a long, long time as she was a scary driver! It’s
been hot here in the north but I know it won’t last so we’re
making the most of it. |
Still in love!
