Yay. I got the adoption books that I ordered.
Had a talk with my family at Chloe’s party about our adoption. It started with me mentioning that I got that Rosetta Stone program to learn Vietnamese. That went into a whole thing of, “you could have asked us to teach you.” And I would have asked [...]
Birthday Party One is officially over. I’m wiped out.
We’re having Chloe’s first of two birthday parties tomorrow (because her birthday gets in the way of the new year celebration stuff and apparently my family wasn’t having that). The second party will be next month, the day before her actual birthday. So my day started with this conversation with my mom when [...]
First off, thank you for your support and comments in my last post. Since then, I have had a meeting with my boss about it and while I don’t really want to reveal all the details since some of it is personal to some coworkers or to the company, I do feel much better about [...]

I realize that I haven’t been showing Chloe’s face around here for quite awhile. So here she is, post mac n cheese lunch. Notice the new do. My mom decided that Chloe needed another haircut, that or she was bored. ;p
The second my dad saw Chloe with her new haircut he said, “Omygod! She [...]

I’ve been reading a lot of blogs written by adoptees. I wanted insight into my child’s potential future feelings. I’ve been thinking a lot about culture and how I will incorporate that into my children’s lives, which led me to reading up on blogs. I like blogs, because, while it shouldn’t represent an entire population [...]
Since Chloe came into our lives I’ve been constantly fascinated with the baby brain and its ability to soak up information. If you know babies, you know that there are times where they will go through an explosion of processing information. Chloe is constantly learning, but there are times, like now, where it’s [...]
For my birthday (it’s next week) my husband got me the Rosetta Stone Vietnamese software. I’ve been wanting to at least try to learn Vietnamese. I can’t wait to try it out.
Hooray for birthdays! Hooray for my husband!
