Playing At Bounce U

Olivia & I met another mom and her daughter for an hour of fun. It is called Bounce U. It is a new place in Tulsa (not far from our house) that kids can bounce, slide and play. Olivia was a little leary at first but once she found the smaller toys she warmed up.

P.S. Olivia woke up this morning with her hair sticking up. I tried to fix it, but nothing would help.

Puzzle

Olivia loves puzzles! We have now moved onto pieces that don't have pegs. She is doing great with the new type of puzzles. She wants to do them over and over.

Chinnese New Year!

Tonight we went to the FCC (Families With Children from China) Chinnese New Year Celebration. It was held at a Chinnese restaurant here in Tulsa. Olivia was pretty shy, not sure why.

2008 is the year of the "Rat". Olivia was born the year of the Dog, sounds much better then the year of the Rat. Guess I need to look and see what my year was.

P.S. Megan wasn't with us. She was at a Girl Scout camp-out. So she missed the celebration.

Olivia checking out her dress that we got in China. She wore this dress in China almos 1 year ago. We took her picture @ the White Swan Hotel on the famous "red couch" in this out-fit.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

We had a quiet Valentine's Day around here. This is the house of the stomach flu. Last Wednesday Megan was the first to get sick. Olivia was next on Friday night. I waited till Tuesday morning. Either I am a baby or I had it worse then everyone else. Bob stayed home and took care of Olivia while I layed in bed and moaned. I was in bed for 2 days. Bob went back to work on Thursday, when he came home from work around 3:00 he didn't feel good, he now had it. It is now late Friday morning and Bob seems to feel better. Gosh, I wish I could bounce back that quick. Lets just hope everyone is now healhy. Colette Thank you Aunt Juju for my Dora movie.... I love it!

Do I have to sit here... I want to play.

What a face?!?!?!

Bath-Time

Megan gave Olivia a bath. Looks like Megan had fun with Olivia's hair!

Olivia & Grandma Diana

Bob's step-mom (Diana) stopped by to see us on her way back home to Tennessee. It was nice seeing her! Thanks Diana for coming to see all of us.

Play-Doh

Olivia's favorite Christmas Gift is her Play-Doh. She loves it! She wants to be playing with it all of the time. It is so cute when Olivia says "Play-Doh"!

Referral One Year Later!

One year ago today I set my eyes on the most beautiful baby girl! Her name then was Xin Min Ya. We later found out she went by Min Ya (pronounced Mia). We were told her birthday, where she was living and a few other items. They emailed us a scanned photo of the baby and my heart melted. After the long wait we were finally matched with a child. It was surreal! It was one of the happiest days of my life. I compare it to the day Megan was born. A wonderful, wonderful day!

Our child was born in our hearts that day, a year ago today. We named her Olivia Xin Walker. She has been a true joy and a blessing to our lives.


This was the first picture we saw of Olivia. It was emailed to us in black and white.

We received all 3 pictures in color the day after we got the phone call with our referral. They were taken when she was 6 months old.
