Gotcha Day

Ruth, 

Once again we got to celebrate your Gotcha Day. This year you picked out your clothes and chose to eat at Hing Ta. 

We talked all about that first day we got to meet you. You are growing up fast. You are now about 43" and 40 lbs. You love dolls and stuffed animals. You are reading and writing well. You make us laugh often. You are finally sleeping through the night.. in your own room.. and I am thankful. 

You are kind and so cute!! 

So glad you are in our family!! We love you.

Gotcha day!

Ruth, two years have passed by so quickly! We love the excitement you have brought to our family. We are thankful to God that He placed you into to our family!
It has been challenging, but all outweighed by blessings!
Just in the last couple of months we have seen you grow up as a "big girl" who can communicate with us and who cheerfully goes with the flow.
We love you Ruth Min thompson!!

Happy 4th Birthday Ruth!

Ruth isn't building. She is sorting all the little yellow heads and putting them back in the bin.

Christmas Morning

Christmas was exciting this year! Ruth's gifts centered around cinderella. Chloe got a nook. Timon got a rip rider.
We worshipped our savior in the morning and spent the rest of the day with family.

A WOW moment

We just saw on TV at a restaurant that China is testing a 310 mph train in Qingdao.
Ruth was called "Qing Qing" in china, so I guessed at how to pronounce the city name.
I said the city name, and ruth said, "I Qing Qing".

Amazingly the memories she has stored. It always shocks me. After 15 months of not hearing that name, and she tells me!!
