It is hard to believe but 3 years ago today we saw this face for the first time...
We fell in love at the first site of our little girl that we had waited so long for! It seems like it was just yesterday but it also seems so long ago! I can't imagine our life without her! I love you so much Jaden!
I don't know who said that summertime was for resting and relaxing because they were wrong! I feel like I am constantly running around and never get to catch my breath! Jaden started her swimming lessons back up and instead of once a week they are now EVERYDAY! So everyday we have been getting up early and running to lessons. Sometimes we stay after to swim and sometimes we are out running errands. Jaden does love swimming though so it is worth it!
When we are not at the pool Jaden is outside playing and having fun with friends!
I am trying not to wish our summer away! You know I really am ready for October and November but that might have something to do with a little trip to China we have planned! For now I will just try to sit back and relax with my girl and let her enjoy her last summer as an only child!
Lord help me next year when I am running two of them around!
Once again we have had a busy busy week! Last weekend Jaden helped me babysit Matthew! She was a big helper and Matthew got a lot of kissing from Jaden!
We had a birthday party last weekend for Ryan. Jaden had to model her new outfit before the party!(this was the same day of the accident and I am happy to say that the puke came out of the outfit, thank goodness!)
Then it was party time!
We also spent some time outside. I am happy to report that Jade got right back up on that swing the next day. Daddy will no longer push her unless she gets in the baby swing!
Jaden also had a play date with Sophie and Hannah!
One night this week Jaden, Andrew and Avery got to play with colored bubbles for the first and last time!!! They decided painting with them was better then blowing them!
This week I also got ready for a garage sell where I was going to sell all of Jaden's old baby clothes. When I took a picture of all the clothes that were laid out I realized that I may have a shopping problem! You see all of these clothes were 9-24 month clothing! I don't think she ever wore anything twice!
Last night we had a cookout at our neighbors house! I am so thankful for all of our wonderful neighbors! The kids are wonderful and I even like their parents! So happy to live in such a wonderful neighborhood!
And FINALLY today Jaden had her first princess birthday party for her good friend Leah! I kept asking her what princess she wanted to be hoping for Mulan or Repunzle but no such luck. She only wanted to be princess Merliah! And who is that you may ask?
Shock, my girl wanted to be a mermaid but not Ariel. I was afraid we would be out of luck but to my surprise they had a outfit and we got it so here is my princess Merliah!
I am a southern girl from Mississippi who married a yankee from Ohio who moved me from MS to Nashville and now Ohio! We finally brought our little girl home from China in August of 2009! Now we are headed back to China to bring home our son!
