Happy Home Day!!!!!

One year ago today our baby landed on American soil with us. It is unbelievable to me that it's been a year. It has truly been a wonderful journey and I continue to look forward to spending our lives together.

We didn't do anything specifically to celebrate today. Ping had school and I went swimming. After I picked her up from school, we headed to Milford for lunch with Ayi Mindy and Ciara. We got there early, so we hung out and colored. After having lunch we headed to Casa Lordan and let the girls play for the afternoon. They had so much fun. Ciara has a ton of Princess clothes, so Ping stripped within minutes of being in the house. She and Ciara had tea in Ciara's big Barbie house. It was really cool.

Around 4:00 pm, Ciara's brother Connor got off the bus. He is 8 now. I feel like he was a baby 10 minutes ago. How did I turn into that "old" person???? So distressing. Anyway, I talked with Connor for a few, got Ping to change and we headed out the door. Drove home during rush hour traffic, but we really didn't have any issues. Ping passed out within minutes of our journey home. I knew she played hard.

The rest of the night was spent on the phone, on the computer or in front of the TV making some bracelets for friends.

It's late and we have a very busy weekend, so I best be heading to bed.

I hope you have a splendid weekend.
