Silly Kai and ICE

We went to see ICE at the Gaylord Hotel over the holidays with some GREAT friends of ours. We has a wonderful time! ICE is an indoor ice sculpture show ( duhh we do live in Tx where temps rarely reach freezing for any length of time,lol). It was really neat and the people who carve all of the sculptures are from Harbin China. VERY COOL!

16 months old today

Today Kai turns 16 months old. It is really hard to think that 16 months ago tomorrow she was found at the gate of the orphanage. I think it is harder to think about now than it was when we visited the orphanage and saw the location she was left. Something about having time to get to know her personality and fall even further in love with her makes it seem so tragic for her birth family and the choice they had to make. What a blessing she has been to our family. The pics above were two of three referral pics we received on Aug the 4th. She was 10 months old in the picture. Later today I am going to take a close up so we can all see how much she has changed. I love this sweet girl. Thank you God for bringing us down this road.
