6 Month Familiversary

Six months ago today we became a complete family. Alyson was brought to us in that odd little Civil Affairs office in Kunming, China six months ago today. Wow.


She has changed and grown so much.


This was her referral picture from when she was 7 months old.

These pictures are from Gotcha day. May 20, 2007

And this is from a few days ago...


So, in true frugal Hulin family fashion we're taking our priceless kids to IHOP for dinner! (Kids eat free on Tuesdays :-) How's that for a family celebration?! We'll do it up bigger for the 1 year anniversary :-)

Happy Halloween from Tinkerbell and The Pirate! Arrrgh!

You know you're in Texas when you can trick or treat in shorts!
Apparently Tinkerbell wields a sword these days. No wand for this pixie! She was even saying Arrgh! Andrew eventually got his sword back :-)

Alyson was pretty taken with this cat that went to the door with them.
