Since We've Been Home

Well, mostly we've been surviving since we've been home. It is a rare moment that Lia Kate does not want to be in my arms and this makes it kind of tricky to post daily to the blog, so please pardon my lack of regular posting. We've been home for a full week now and here are a few things we've been up to.

There has been ...

Lots of learning what it means to have a sister.


Lots of holding and rocking.


Lots of smiles.


Lots of silliness.


Lots of learning how to use a sippy cup.


Lots of playing.


Lots of learning to share toys.


Lots of chaos.


Lots of learning how old we are. (Lia Kate learned this when we were teaching Britton how to hold up two fingers.)


Lots of book-reading.


And lots and lots of totally adorable moments.


More to come...

Oh Em - They look like they are having a BALL together!! So sweet! It appears that you are getting a bit more "arms-free" (maybe just a wee bit more).
Love this post and seeing the kids interacting.

I'm Liz Landgren's sister, Sara, and I've been reading your blog religiously for weeks! It is so touching. My husband and I have been to China and have a big heart for missions there, so it is so sweet to read about your chinese baby being adopted into your family as we are to Christ! Thanks for sharing. It's definitely made us wanna think more about adopting one day!
Lia Kate is so adorable! I love that you incorporated her Chinese name into her new name, by the way.
