Three Months!!!

We have been a family for three months now, it's amazing how time flys! It seems like we've been together forever. Scott and I wonder what we ever did before Jadie. In the past three months Jadie has learned to sit up, stand up, roll over, walk with help, clap, eat with a spoon and fork, sing etc. She has grown over 5 inches and has 6 teeth. She is an amazing beauty and a ton of fun!!! Every day is a new adventure!!

First Day Of "School"

OK, so I went back to work yesterday and Jade went to Daycare today. Traumatic? Not for Jade.

This is a picture of Jade ready for her first day of "school" with her Dora The Explorer back pack courtesy of Auntie Suzie. She was all ready to go and I had to fight back the tears.

She did OK, was a bit intimidated by all of the kids and noise (she didnt eat anything - yikes) but Scott and I picked her up at 1:30, took her home and fed her and she was back to her normal chipper self. She is an amazing kid. She goes back to Daycare on Tuesday. I think she will LOVE it!

AHHHH - are kids are totally cool or what?

Love to all!

Got To Love Vermont!

Unfortunately Scott cut off the tip of his finger at work on 3/25 (it's going to be fine), but fortunately for the three of us, we all got to go to Vermont for the past week.

The weather was exceptional the entire time we were there. We spent most of our time outdoors, took road trips and many, many walks. We also scoped out lakes for swimming and parks for swinging. The shots of Jade in the swing and the barn are from the town where our house is (Lunenburg Vt) and the views are all breath taking.

The shots of Jade in the high chair are of her first experience with a marshmallow (sp?). She didnt really like it and ended up spitting it out (yeah Jade!) after it almost completely melted in her mouth.

We went to Ben & Jerry's last Thursday - did the tour and got some ice cream (yum). The really cool thing was this post that was outside of Ben & Jerrys. It is the exact same post we saw in Nanchang China at the Buddist Temple. It says "May Peace Prevail On Earth" . Scott took a picture of Jade and I in front of it at Ben & Jerry's and I included a picture of the three of us at the Buddust Temple in Nanchang. Isnt that cool? From China to Vermont. WOW.

Anyway enjoy the pictures!

Love to all!
