Elijah was given 3 books from a wonderful woman that I work with. She just spent two weeks in China and actually stopped in Wuhan, Elijah's hometown. Eli was so excited to get the books. He read one of the stories in Chinese and then repeated it in English. He is fascinated by the fact that she visitied the town where he came from. He immediately sat down to write a thank you note and draw her a picture. It certainly made his day !
Harrison, Hayden and Mia stayed home to pass out candy. We still had plenty of candy !

Today I looked out the window only to see Eli and Keaton snow-boarding down our hill. We have a ton of leaves in our yard. Dave piled up the leaves and the kids had a blast playing in them. We explained to Eli how much snow we get here in Wisconsin. His eyes were so wide. If he has this much fun with leaves I can't wait until he can actually go sledding and build a fort in the snow. He tells me that in Wuhan they had "little" snow. He has never built a fort or a snowman. He says all he has ever done is walked on the snow.
This Blog is the chronicle of our family's journey through the process of adopting Mia-Faith XinHe and Elijah Russell AiSheng, and any other Waala family news.
We brought our Mia home July, 2006 from Fuzhou, China. She was 21 months old at Gotcha day. Eli joined our family at 6 years old in March 2009 from Wuhan, China. We are now complete- Our family has been blessed beyond measure !!
