Turning Sweet 16 Today!!!

Today's the Day!

WEEK THREE: February 9 - 15 Getting Checked Out by Doctor and the Fam!

Eating Cherios at the pediatrician's at Children's International Adoption Center.  We were told Tesla was the most well-adjusted child they've seen.

Meeting the grandparents for the first time.  Yeh Yeh (Grandpa in Mandarin) and Nana!  

And the cousins.....

Laughing with Yeh Yeh!

WEEK TWO: Feb. 2 - 8, 2011

This week, we learned some things Tesla likes and doesn't like:

She likes wearing mommy's shoes.

She likes My Vintage Baby

She likes strawberries.

She likes spaghetti!

Mmmmmmmmm!

She likes receiving flowers.  Thanks Assaf, Gangadhar, and the Texas Instruments Wireless CTO Team!

She doesn't, however, like snow!

In fact, she hates snow!

WEEK ONE: January 25 - February 1, 2011

`

Welcome Home!   Zsa Zsa picked us up at the airport and had dinner waiting when we arrived.  Our sweet neighbors came by to say hello and brought more gifts.  This week we met the Wurdemans, Andersons, Sparkmans and Zsa Zsa.  We went to Albertsons, Wal-Mart and even Costco.  We introduced Tesla to the dogs and the horse, which she took in stride.  In less than one week, she's sleeping in her  crib, eating in her high chair, riding in her car seat and enjoying bubble baths in her tub!  What an incredible week!

Playing in my playroom. 

My first outing in America.  Hamburgers and fries.  More Ketchup please.  

Loving my high chair. 

Making friends at Wal-Mart.  Love you Mr. Williford!!!

FINALLY HOME

It took 24 hours, but Tesla travels so very well. Other than the egg salad sandwich meltdown, everything went smoothly.

It took us nearly a week to recover!! But what a great week!

DAY 10: 23 hours to home

Up at 5:30 a.m. for the 23 hour trek home. We're now in Tokyo, just 1/3rd of the way home. Two more hours and we board a plane for Dallas.

Only one melt down so far...at the Admirals Club. NEVER NEVER NEVER let your toddler hold her own egg salad sandwich, even if it is a finger sandwich.

DAY 10: Leaving for America

Today, we leave for home. What a magical 10 days!
