Emma Lin's B-day and easter

Well its been a while, so much has happened these last couple of months. The first big one is Emma Lin turned 2. Wow its still hard to beleive. She is a little person now. Doing so much on her own. She is very independent,but yet still loves for me to hold and cuddle her. We had a great birthday weekend. Her birthday was Friday, April 15. After she went to bed Thurs. night I decorated the whole house with balloons, princess decorations and birthday banners and even had the dining room table all set up for dinner Friday night. She woke up and DAddy brought her downstairs while I filmed. the first thing that caught her eye was all the ballons. She loved waking around the house pointing out all the princess and even put her party hat on and let me take pics. She love blowing her horns, it took her a while to figure it out, but in no time she was a pro at it. We made ham and eggs for breakfest and put a candle in her food and sung Happy birthday. AFter that we went to Music class. Ryan took off from work and was able to spend the whole day with us. My mom even meet up with us for music class. We bought munchkins and gave them out to the class. Emma was so funny she loved giving them out. We then when home for some fun time in the yard and a nap. After nap we had dinner with the family. I found a dress with the disney princesses on it to match all the decorations. Emma favorite part was the singing and blowing out the candles. We really had fun. On Sunday we had a big party for her with all her cousins and friends. It was a cowgirl theme party with a real pony rides and a petting zoo in our backyard. It was so much fun. All the kids and adults loved it. It really turned out to be a great day and all the kids got along great. Emma got some really great gifts and loves playing with her bubble blower the best.
The day was bitter sweet for me. I often thought about her birth parents and wonder what they were doing that day? I never thought before I had Emma that I would wonder about them as much as I do. Its really hard not knowing them. When I look at her and see how beautiful she is I wonder what they look like? I wish I could right a letter to them and tell them about her.
I also got two pictures of Emma from the SWI where she is from. That was such a great gift for me and for Emma when she is older. I love looking at those two pic and seeing her tiny face. I have it saved on my phone to look at everyday and to remind myself how truly blessed I am to be her mom. I remember what she must of went thought those first couple days of her birth with no one ther to hold her or love her and what a little fighter we have. I am forever grateful to all the people in China who kept her alive and brought her to us. I wish China wasn't so far and I could back for the day and just visit the SWI. I wish I understood Chinese so I could call and speak to them. Our little angel is so adjusted that I just would like to tell them thank you. She fits into not just me and ryan lives perfectly, but to our whole family perfetly.
Easter was great she loved the bunny which is funny because she did not like SAnta at all. Loved Loved Loved going on egg hunts. I really hid the eggs at our house and she did a great job finding them.
Well our 1 year home is alomost here, I can't remember life with out her. It amazing me that she is only here with us for a month. Can't wait to celebrate gottcha day on June 13!
