| Betsy and her Gu Gu |
Yes...we're still here! I really have missed posting. Last week it was just hard to find the time, so here's a little of what has been going on at our house. Last Saturday we took a quick trip to Granny's house (Todd's mother). The week before had been spring break and Granny along with Aunt Dee (Todd's sister) came for a visit. Sam and Hugh went home with them and stayed a couple of days. Saturday morning we all got ready and went to Granny's for the day to pick up Sam and Hugh and also let Betsy meet some more family members. Granny lives in the country a little over an hour from where we live. Betsy had been asking for her Gu Gu, which means brother in Chinese. She was talking about Sam. She really loves Sam and enjoys playing with him. When we arrived at Granny's house and she saw Sam she went right to him and started crying. She held on to him and would not let go!! She really missed him. It was so sweet to see her with her big brother:) While we were at Granny's she met cousin Maddie (Todd's sister's daughter). She had to warm up to Maddie. I think it was just because she was in a new environment. Maddie brought her an American Girl Doll she had won from a fundraising auction at school. Betsy was very interested in the doll and that was Maddie's way in! I never got a good picture of Betsy, Maddie, and the doll. All Betsy wanted to do was dress and undress the doll. She did this several times!! We had a fun visit and Betsy also met Uncle Jim, Aunt Ann, and Aunt Louise. Monday Sam, Ellie, and Hugh went back to school and we were back in full swing. We are all doing well, and Betsy continues to amaze us with what she is learning. She can say hello, good-bye, yes, no, please, thank you, just a minute, how are you, she can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ( half English, half Chinese), she can say her numbers to ten, excuse me, can say all the kids names, calls herself Betsy Miao Miao, says all done when she is finished eating, and has started to call me mommy instead of mama. One more thing...she said I Love You Mama the other day( this one is my favorite, of course!) Literally she says or does something new everyday. We love her so much and are enjoying getting to know more about her. I have posted a few random pictures. Can't believe we have already been home two weeks! Hope you all have a safe and Happy Easter as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ!!
