Gotcha Day Anniversary and Easter!!









Where has this last year gone?! On March 25th, our family celebrated our first one year "gotcha day" anniversary with Miss Alexa Lin. We just cannot get over how fast time has gone and what our family has experienced with these two little girls over this past year. Alexa has come so far in such a short time. It all began with this little angel who couldn't even sit up on her own, to this precious girl who is trying to go "big girl potty" like her sister, whose speaking in complete sentences and cracking us up everyday. We spent "gotcha day" and our Easter holiday in Hilton Head for ten days. We had gorgeous weather and tons of great family time. We drove to Savannah, GA one day, played outside a lot, had some delicious dinners, played at the beach, and looked for Easter eggs after the Easter bunny came to visit. Aleia was really concerned that the bunny wouldn't find us on vacation, but guess what? He did. The girls looked for eggs and of course wanted to eat all of the treats on the first day. Surprise, surprise. Well, just wanted to update everyone on our recent adventures. Being a parent is the most rewarding experience ever!!!!!!!

Fun with the Alsept's





Hi everyone. We haven't posted for awhile, but life at the Alept's is good. We have been playing around inside and out. The girls have decided they like to help mommy cook which is quite the site. They always want to be my helpers. We have been playing outside some since we have not had this much snow in a long time. We are supposed to get almost ten inches with this last storm. It is still snowing as I type this. The girls love to be pulled around outside in the sled. We had our twelve month follow-up with our social worker yesterday which completes the papertrail with Alexa's adoption. Yeh!!! We are finally done with the paperchase. We just cannot believe she has been with us for almost a year already. Boy does time fly when you are having fun!!! That statement is sooooo true. We just cannot imagine our lives being any different. The more hectic and crazy the better. Love, Lisa
