Brilliant!

Excuse my bragging and gushing, but I just have to! Cecelia has the most incredible fine motor skills for a two year old..it is just amazing that a baby who was in a crib/walker for the first 22 months of her life can do the things she does...Cecelia's first love at the moment is puzzles...she can do a 48 piece puzzle in no time flat...her second love is drawing...this is a picture she drew for me this morning...of course it is a lady bug...lady bugs are important in Cecelia's life..her favorite doll is even a lady bug...and lady bugs stand for luck in Chinese adoption!

Halloween

Cecelia's sneak preview of her Halloween costume was a bit ago, but here are some pics of the "real" night! This past week here in Central New York has been so COLD... but Halloween day was like a gift...temperatures in the 60's that stayed that way for the evening... Cecelia was curious and excited about her first Halloween...and I do have to say she was also adorable! I also need to add that one should NOT jump to conclusions about who our choice for President is...let's just say that there were several people here, carving pumpkins that night, who are of voting age...the carving came out incredible, regardless of your personal preference for the White House position!

Lantern Festival

Two weeks ago we went to a lantern festival with our local FCC group. The kids decorated lanterns and then had a parade. It was a great time!
