Today was Evas first Christmas in America. Our morning started with Niko puking.. then it moved to poor Eva puking.. Now Daddy is sick....

Eva got a kick out of dancing Mickey.. Eva loved her new table and chairs that Mema got her as well as all of the other tons and tons of goodies.. .Tons and Tons of presents everywhere. Santa was so good to her.. . and Grandma surprised Eva with tickets to see Ernie, Big Bird, Elmo and all their friends in February.

We think all the presents were pretty overwhelming for her.. she had a ball with presents and family. Mema, Grandma and Shannon came over early for Breakfast.. then we started presents.. then lunch.. then Uncle Billy came over... then more presents.. then dinner.. then Papa Mike came over.. then more presents... Fun day.. lots of fun.... and yes.. still more presents to open.. tomorrow is another day!

More pix will be posted soon.

Eva - Day One of Meeting... One Year Ago Today... December 7, 2009

Eva - One Year Later.. December 7, 2010

December 7, 2010

Today is the 1 year anniversary of meeting Eva. (December 7th) – We cannot believe that one year ago today was the day we were able to say the words “we are parents”, “it’s a girl”. We remember walking into the orphanage excited but scared – and it is unbelievable how everything worked out so perfectly.

Eva was so scared – with her beautiful blue eyes wide as can be and her fists clenched so tight. We knew in less than a second that she was our daughter… and here we are a year later – walking, talking, starting to go to the bathroom on the potty, hair growing in, sprouting out, singing, dancing….

We have a nice day planned today. We grabbed a bite to eat, Eva got a new doll – We went to Washington Park for the lights in the park – we had fun.. "awesome" and "wow" were Evas words.. lol. After driving through the park we went to Santas workshop and saw Santa again. Eva sat on his lap and liked him. As we left she was saying "bye santa".. It was so cute. Also, there was a Snowman and Reindeer there.

We are looking forward to many many more fun times..

It's been a while since we posted. We have been busy with work and getting ready for xmas. November was a busy month. Perogie making, shopping trip, Thanksgiving...

Here is a picture of Eva with the Coca Cola Bear - she sunk right in and absolutely loved him.

Today (Dec 1) was a doctor appt for Eva for her 2nd part of her Flu Shot. While in the waiting room a woman asked us how old Eva was. We told her 19 months and she said wow, her vocabulary is amazing - wide range - she speaks so well and all of her words very clear - She was a speach therapist and was amazed by Eva... :)

Today before daycare the pillow pet commercial was on and Eva went nuts - WOW - Oh Boy.. Awesome... were her words... lol.. Hopefully Santa brings one for her.. She said to me in a singing voice "i love you, you love me" - I was amazed.. lol She is so cute.
