Random photos

Momma and Daddy have not been very good about updating the blog. They "claim" that two kids is double the work. Momma keeps talking about "no economies of scale" or something....

Anyway, I convinced them to a least throw some random photos out there.

Kyri had her first haircut a few weeks ago. Her hair was in her eyes and she refused to leave her ponytail in! She looks really cute.



Although I wasn't thrilled to have a sister at first (I kept trying to tell Momma that she would be happier in Taiwan), I am warming up to the idea!

Momma and Daddy call us their monkeys. Kyri eats A LOT of bananas. At least two a day!



Kyri really likes music. I have introduced her to the Imagination Movers!

Being silly....
Here I am, handsome as ever!

Partners in crime!

New Kyri Pictures

Such cute dimples...

 What a happy girl!

 

Enjoying a little lunch...
 

Hanging out with Big Brother!

Kyri and her new horse

Baby Sister doesn't like to ride her new horse, but I do! She does really like the sounds it makes, though!

Christmas Pictures!

Luckily, Baby Sister was home in time for this year's Christmas pictures. Gammy said we are dressed like the bluebirds of happiness (although Momma said Kyri is looking none too happy in the first photo)!


Kyri smiled for this next one! I smiled for all of them...


Speaking of me and my great smile! ...


Baby Kyri has a smile almost as cute as mine!

Mommy and Kyri look pretty happy, too!


Mommy and Daddy said it was tough taking a picture with Kyri and me in it. The only picture the photographer could get was when we were distracted by looking at the Christmas book. In all of the other photos, Kyri was either pulling my hair, my sweater or I was making strange faces...

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and that Santa treated you as well as he did me!

Taiwan - Day Seven

Mr. Yeh took us to the Wulai Aboriginal Village, and this was perhaps our nicest day yet. The mountains outside of the city are simply gorgeous, we had our best meal yet, and we had a truly wonderful day:

 

 

After Mr. Yeh also treated us to dinner later, we capped off the evening with a visit to the night market:

We had a scroll made with Kyri's Chinese Name by a master calligrapher (we are getting one for Kai also)

The finished product - simply beautiful!
 

Taiwan - Day Six

We had our appointments to get her travel visa and that went fine; that was another big milestone. Other than that, it rained moist of the day, so it was a good day to get caught up on sleep (Kyri took a four-hour nap, the little gal was pretty tired.) Mr. Yeh took us to buy her a stroller and some baby food.

We had dinner with our new friends, Beth, Christine, Michael, and Chia-An. Christine and Michael met Chia-An the same day that we met Kyri and are a wonderful couple. Beth is so very kind to volunteer her time to assist families with questions and issues during and after the adoption process.

Gotcha Day!

Finally! Baby Kyri is now with us!

All went quite well and it was a whirlwind day... we're all too exhausted to write much right now, but we wanted to get some pictures posted here as soon as possible...
