Gotcha day!

Wow ONE year later.....
We just had a grand celebration with our family and ate Chinese with chopsticks.

Funny thing tonight- it was the first time we ever offered chopsticks to Ruth. She picked them up, held them properly, and fed herself rice, lo mein and chicken!!!

A YEAR!

We can't believe tomorrow is Ruth' 1st anniversary of GOTCHA Day!
Where does time go?
It has been an awesome year full of blessings.
We have been watching our home videos from China and enjoying those sweet memories!

How wonderful it is to have Ruth in our family.

The pajama shirt hat

Ruth usually will not let the shirt stay on her head. But tonight, she went with it. Ran all over the house as a pirate.

Potty training

We are trying this week to potty train Ruth. She looks too relaxed to focus on the task at hand, doesn't she?

Vacation bible school

Ruth's 2nd night at VBS has been successful! She sang the songs and raised her hands in praise! She also participated so well.
I'm grateful she is enjoying her class and cheerfully (for the most part) going to it.
