ZOEY AND HER FIRST POOL

WE GOT ZOEY HER FIRST SWIMMING POOL. SHE WAS A LITTLE UNSURE ABOUT
IT AT FIRST AND THEN SHE STARTED ENJOYING IT AFTER DADDY GOT IN WITH HER. SHE WOULD PLAY WITH HER TOYS AND SPLASH THE WATER BUT WOULDN'T SIT DOWN. AT FIRST SHE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATH TUB. WE KEPT TELLING HER IT WAS A SWIMMING POOL, SO NOW SHE WALKS AROUND SAYING "POOL" "POOL" SHE WANTED TO SWING AFTER SHE GOT OUT OF THE POOL, AS YOU CAN SEE SHE WAS OVERDUE FOR HER NAP, AND I GUESS THE POOL MADE HER TIRED.

A LITTLE ANGEL

THIS FRIEND OF A FRIEND MET ME AND ZOEY ONE DAY AND TOOK SOME AWESOME PICTURES OF HER. WE WERE JUST BLOWN AWAY TO SEE HOW WONDERFUL THEY WERE. USUALLY ZOEY DON'T LIKE TAKING PICTURES, BUT
KELLY HAD A WAY ABOUT HER AND ZOEY WARMED RIGHT UP TO HER. KELLY HIGHLIGHTED THIS PICTURE AND EMAILED IT TO ME, SO I JUST HAD TO SHARE IT.
THANKS ALOT KELLY FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL PICTURES OF OUR ANGEL.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU!

LIFELINE ADOPTION AGENCY PICNIC

WE WENT TO THE LIFELINE PICNIC ON SATURDAY. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND IT WAS WONDERFUL SEEING ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND. IT WAS ALSO GOOD TO SEE OUR FRIENDS FROM ATHENS, EMILY WOODALL AND HER BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. TWO OF THE CHINA GUIDES WERE THERE TO SHARE THIS GREAT EVENT, REBECCA & LILLY. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THEM ALSO.

THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH ZOEY HAD CHANGED IN SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME. ZOEY WAS SO BUSY AND EXCITED THAT DAY I DIDN'T GET MANY PICTURES. ZOEY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. THANKS TO ALL THE LIFELINE STAFF FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB FOR THIS EVENT.
EVERYTHING WAS DECORATED SO CUTE AND THERE WAS ALOT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE KIDS TO ENJOY, NOT TO MENTION THE DELICIOUS FOOD.

VISIT WITH FAMILY

MY UNCLE AND AUNT CAME FROM FLORIDA FOR A BRIEF VISIT. WE ALL WENT TO SEE MY MOTHER AT THE ASSITED LIVING FACILITY WHERE SHE NOW LIVES DUE TO HER DEMENTIA. WE HAD A GREAT VISIT AND IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE THEM. ZOEY WAS A LITTLE SHY AND DIDN'T WANT TO SIT IN THEIR LAP FOR PICTURES. HOPEFULLY SHE WILL DO BETTER NEXT TIME. :)

SHE IS STILL REAL CLINGY AND ONLY WANTS ME OR DOUG TO HOLD HER.
ALOT OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT WE KNOW ONE DAY SHE WILL BE READY FOR ANYBODY AND EVERYTHING! :)
SHE IS BLOOMING MORE AND MORE WITH EACH DAY, AND SHE LOVES CHILDREN. I LOVE WATCHING THE INTERACTION WHEN SHE IS AROUND ANY CHILDREN.
