Next time, I not telling her.....

Still having trouble posting pictures. I will do it later, just need to dig the USB port out of the camera bag, which is probably buried in the back of my closet somewhere. Anyway, we were so excited to be visiting with our friends today! Let me just say, that Emily has gotten sick probably every time except for once or twice when we were going to this particular friends house. We LOVE her and her daughter and they are a very special part of Emily's adoption story. We travelled inside China together when we received our daughters and we travelled home to America together.

Guess what? At 4am, I hear that all too familiar "Maaaaa." I knew it!! Yup, she has the virus. I kind of thought that it was just an upset tummy from dinner last night, then I thought it was her regular bowel issues (something I am so tired of and ready to go beyond my ped to explore...again), but it is clear to me as she sleeps at my feet, half in the living room, half on the kitchen floor atop towels (just in case) that it IS the virus. Poor little thing has been asleep for about 3 hours only to wake to vomit and take care of some other business ;-) and then go back to sleep. My poor sweetie.....I hope she feels better soon.

Next time we have plans to visit Grace and Aiden (along with Lisa, Jordyn and Zoe), I am NOT telling Emily. Maybe she won't get sick? I think I will tell AFTER we go over the bridge....LOL


Check back for posts about our big night last night (with pictures) of Emily AND Alyssa's haircuts. Yes, Alyssa got her haircut. It was probably the 3rd time we tried and each time she became hysterical. Not last night. She did great!!!! It looks SO CUTE.

Emily's Family Day is on Easter Sunday. How special is that? I CANNOT believe that exactly 5 years ago, this angel was being placed in my arms for the first time. She was always in my heart and the reality of having her in my life has far surpassed anything that I could have imagined!!! I am so lucky!!!!
