Lizzie's Birthday: The Day Begins

We decided to go in and take pictures of her as she wakes up on her birthday! She was very pleasant until...I lifted her out of the crib and the screaming began: NOooooo, NOooooo, Nite-Nite, Kitty Cat....She did get pleasant again when we went downstairs for breakfast!!

Today is Lizzie's Birthday!!!

Here are some more pictures from our photo session at Sears!

Lizzie's Two Year Pictures

Well, our little princess will be two years old tomorrow. So, to celebrate, we took her to Sears on Saturday to get her picture taken. The pictures are absolutely amazing. It was so hard to pick just one out. Here are a few for you to look at. I will post more tomorrow!

One Year Ago....

On Friday, September 2, 2005, the phone rang and our lives changed forever. At about 2:30 p.m., Great Wall called and gave us the name of our daughter. Guy and I were off that day from work planning to leave in the morning to go over to my brother's house for my mother surprise brithday party (which was the following day). Everytime we got ready to leave, something held us back. Around 2:00, my friend Kelley called and said that the calls were starting!!!! We got out our laptop and sat in the kitchen... waiting! When the call finally came and we say Great Wall's number on the caller ID, we just started crying.Amanda from Great Wall started reading the information to us over the phone and then the email came. The email with her picture! Cen Xiao Bei (soon to be Elizabeth Grace (Lizzie) was the most beautiful baby we had ever seen! The picture was from when she was six months old and by now she was already almost a year old! Here are the referral pictures:

We fell in love with her immediately! She looked like us too!! Click on the September 2005 link to read more about Referral Day!
