Well, what can I say!! Alexa continues to do well with each passing day. Her smiles get bigger and bigger and she almost has a little giggle now. Just amazing!! We went to her first doctor's appointment here at home yesterday and it went great. The doctor said she looked real healthy and that she had taken huge strides since we had received her. She is seventeen pounds and twenty-eight inches long. She is in the fourth percentile for her weight and the twenty-second percentile for her height. She said to just keep feeding her which isn't a problem at all. The girl loves to eat. That has never been a problem.!! Alexa has to go back to the doctor in four weeks for another check-up and to receive her first set of shots here in the US. The doctor said based on her immunization records that we received in China that she was all up to date with everything thus far.
Aleia is still doing great and she absolutely loves being the "big sister". We could not have asked for her to have done any better with this whole situation. She loves to give Baby Alexa kisses and really enjoys helping me feed her. I have taken some darling photos of the two of them that I cannot wait to share.
We had some good friends in this weekend from Michigan and had a great time with them. Aleia got to play with someone that talked with her and she was wild. Everyone that has been coming over wants to see the baby and she says they don't talk to me mom. Well, that wasn't the case this weekend. Our friends have a four year old guy that wore Aleia down in a heartbeat. It was good for her.
We also wanted to take a minute to also thank everyone that has come to see us since we have returned home. We have had soooo many people come over and bring stuff. It is very nice to know that so many people care for you. Please continue to come see us and call. We love it. There are so many people who have followed this journey and it is nice to share it with you all. Thanks for everything. Until next time, Lisa

Congratulations Bobby and Lisa. This is such a great thing that you are doing. Your girls are absolutely beautiful and look very happy. Thank goodness for the article in the paper or I may not have found out. Enjoy your family they grow so fast.

I just wanted to congratulate you on your beautiful family! I enjoyed the article in today's TR and will share it with dear friends who have a four-year-old Chinese daughter, whom we consider to be our seventh grandchild.
I have been interested but not surprised in following the career of a former student from New Cumberland, whom everyone knew would do well. My husband once received a plaque from his "boys" reading "Gentleman, athlete, scholar, and friend" That could describe Bob Alsept as well,and obviously, his wife is a woman of equally find character.
The very best wishes to all of you for a successful and happy future.

Bob & Lisa - been keeping up with you through Freida...didn't know you were bloggers as well! So glad you are home with your little one!
I am living in Guatemala at the moment with Sabrina. We are hoping to be home the first week of June. You can see pics of our adventure at www.michellesmiles.com
Enjoy having your family all together!
Congratulations Bob & Lisa on your beautiful family. Doesn't seem that long ago Lisa that you and I were sitting on our deck talking about our adoption and you were asking all kinds of questions - and here you are today with two beautiful daughters!
Our family is so happy for you and can't wait to meet your little treasures.
May God bless your family and give you a lifetime of happiness!
Much love,
Allan, Shelly, Jordan, Cameron & McKenzie Miller
Congratulations on your latest addition. Since Linda is friends with Kari and Erich, I have been able to keep track of all of the adventures in this long quest. The article the T-R did was very nice. Enjoy your girls, since before you know it, you will be greeting their prom dates at the door. Best wishes and take care.
