Look who's playing soccer

Lucy has watched her brother and sister play soccer for years and finally....she gets to play!

She was beyond excited last week to have her 1st practice. After, practice she came home and was showing all of us her "mad soccer skills" until it was time for bed.

She played her 1st game on Saturday and loved it! We are excited to have all 3 kids in soccer this season. Saturdays will be fun, but crazy now through October.

Happy Referral Day....6 years!

Six years ago today we got a call from Christine at CCAI...."would you like to see a picture of your daughter?"

It was our referral. We had waited just short of a year to finally see a picture of our daughter and we were overcome with emotion.

I had been following the "rumors" and had an inkling that this was THE DAY. I was having a danish and some tea with a neighbor while pacing the floor, waiting for the phone to ring. Just before 11 am we got the call.

I immediately called Jeff at work and told him to meet me at CCAI as fast as he could.....luckily we only live a short drive away.

Christine told us everything we needed to know about She Ya He and then showed us her photo. I couldn't believe it....finally, our baby girl! I looked at those brown eyes and that sweet little pout and my heart melted. My first thought was, oh my gosh, she looks like my mom. :)

She Ya He ended up being Miss Luciana Yahe and after 6 years she can still get to me with that little pout!!!

My Little Fashionista

This is my Sweet Lucy! Lucy was born in hearts in 2004 and we have been blessed beyond measure. Lucy is sweet, funny, smart and (as you can see) cute as can be! She, unlike her brother and sister will still let me take photos, lots of photos of her. She loves to pose for the camera and loves fashion. She wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up. Every time we're at the mall she will point out clothes for me and say, "mommy, that would be so pretty on you." I love my little fashionista!!!

Beaver Creek 2010

We went to Beaver Creek this past weekend for some fun and relaxation. School has started now, and this week is the start of the soccer season. This year, all 3 kids are playing soccer and we have soccer every night of the week along with Cub Scouts and Chinese School.

Beaver Creek is one of our family favorites. We booked a last minute weekend get-away and I'm so glad we did. We had a great time!

The kids love wearing the hotel robes. We swam and roasted s'mores on Friday night.

Breath-taking views from the top of Beaver Creek

I took this same photo last year. Click here to see it.
