Making a new blog

I have decided to start a new blog to include the happenings of our family. I enjoyed updating our blog, ourtravelsforlee.blogspot.com, but I really wanted something that didn't only focus on the adoption. More than anything I think I will use this area to share recent pictures of the kids and update all of their super exciting accomplishments.

We have just returned from a few summer trips. Trip stayed behind for most of them since he is limited on vacation time. Poor guy took almost all of his vacation at the beginning of the year for our trip to Vietnam. It makes for a long year for him. We went to Georgia in June with my girlfriends. It was our first time traveling to Elijay, we had a good time. We usually go to North Carolina but decided to mix it up a little this year.

We went to Indiana in early July and spent a week with my parents. The kids had a great time. It was nice for the kids to spend time with my parents. Eva misses having them around very much. Lee is still getting to know all of our family, but he has definitely developed and an attachment to my parents. Family and extended family is still a little tricky for someone in Lee's position. Family is something he has never had before, so we are working daily with him to show him how a family lives.

Ellis is still our little fire cracker. We just adore her little expressions now, however, she is approaching the age of three. In my experience, three is the age when a parent gets pushed to their limits! I'm getting geared up...also she is starting pre-school in August, two days a week. I hope it goes well for all of us.

I will post more later, but for now will just post a few pictures.
