Journey to Ali: February 2006

I am now a stay at home Mom

All has been going well. Ali is thriving. She talks all the time or should I put it like it is and say she never shuts up. We laugh at her all the time. Everytime I dress her or put something in her hair she says "I cute". I guess she has heard that before. Ha! I have now closed the shop and have nothing to do but take care of Ali. This is going to be quite a change for me. I have always worked at something. Never made much money but, I left the house in the morning and called it work. We went to Ali's first Chinese New Year Celebration the other night. Area people that have adopted Chinese Children get together once a year and Celebrate. There were 13 little girls all in there chinese attire. They were so cute. Ali will be 2 the 16th of this month. I always wonder if her mother in China thinks about her and the day she left her in the park. I hope she knows Ali is very well taken care of and loved so much. Robin can't wait to get home from work to see her. He left the other day for the year end meeting with WalMart for a few days and really had a hard time saying goodby to her. I guess I have had My toes stepped on, but that is O.K. We are renting a pool for Ali's birthday and having the kids get together and swim. I will be posting some pictures of her birthday and then that will be my last post.
