a lot of stuff.....

i can't believe it's been two weeks since I've updated this! I'm just so exhausted by the end of the day that I haven't been able to download any pics and everyone knows that you can't blog without pics!! :) So this will be a monster blog post with pics!
I actually have to go back in time to our China trip first. I was finally able to download some pictures from Jeff's camera (since I was banned while in China after the camera meltdown!)

Here is downtown Guangzhou. it reminded us of Times Square in New York!

Here are a few pics of the Chinese Acrobatic Show. It was amazing! If only I wasn't so tired by the time we got there but Jeff took enough pictures to remember every act! :)


Here are some pics from the Olympic Village in Beijing.... this is the "Watercube" where the swimming events took place. (This was Jeff's favorite part of the trip -except getting Aleigha!)
This is the "Bird's Nest" where the Opening Ceremonies took place...


Here we are inside the Bird's Nest...



Here are some pictures we took on the infamous "Red Couch" at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou. Every family who adopts from China knows about this couch and takes pictures of their babies on it. (even if they don't want to!! ) This first picture is with our guide, Zhou...

Aleigha DESPISED the red couch and let everyone know about it! Here she is with Lily - who didn't mind sitting there at all. Lily is also wearing the same dress that Aleigha wore for Easter.


Here's Aleigha two minutes after we took her off of that couch!

Now back to more recent pictures. Here is Grayson decorating Easter Eggs...

This picture is of Grayson and Aleigha with their cousins, Calvin and Kaitlin, after their Easter Egg hunt at Grandma Bittner's house...

I tried getting a good picture of Aleigha with her Easter dress but she wouldn't sit still long enough! She did love her bunny ears though. :)

Grayson had a good time pulling Aleigha around Gma Bittner's house...

Then he wanted her to pull him!! :)

Here's Aleigha with a new bath towel. It's a pink flower! Toooo cute!!

That's all I have for now.... Aleigha is waking up from her nap now! gotta go....
