Six Months Ago...

Six months ago today, we appeared in court in Chongqing, China and made Mary Kate an official member of the Sigmon family. I can't believe we have been together only 6 months because in so many ways it seems like much longer. I feel like I have known her longer than 6 months and I think the feeling is mutual. Mary Kate or "Mei Mei" as Jack and LIly refer to her, which means little sister in the Chinese language, has fit into our family beautifully. At 21 pounds and almost 23 months of age, she is bright, determined, sweet and playful!

Happy New Year!

We spent the days after Christmas in Taos, New Mexico with the kids and our new puppy, Bella. The kids had a great time playing in the snow, skiing and drinking hot chocolate. Mary Kate played with her toys and snacked as often as she was able to do so. She still loves her cheerios! We went to the Orthopedist today and he said she is healing well from her hip surgery. We will see him again next month for more x-rays, but as for the next four weeks we are BRACE FREE and thrilled about it! Happy New Year to you!
