Last month we went to the zoo for Nadia’s actual birthday. It is our tradition now to have our family birthday celebration at ‘Boo at the Zoo’. Nadia had tons of fun this year and we had such a nice night.

Last month Nadia made her first trip to the dentist. We went to someone recommended by several moms at our church and I loved their office! The doctor and his staff were very friendly and Nadia didn’t have a bit of trouble with him “counting her teeth” or with the cleaning at the end.

The dog in the photo above is what they use to demonstrate what will happen to the kids and Nadia got a kick out of him.

In the photo below she is having her cleaning. They put on sunglasses and turn on a movie above their head and get to work. Clever.

At the end Nadia got a bag of goodies and a stuffed monkey for doing so well during her first cleaning.

I am so thankful that God saw fit to bring sweet Nadia into our lives. I just listened to Mike tell her “the story about Nadia” when we met her in China. It brought a tear to my eye and reminded me once again of how grateful I am for my life.

I am also thankful that my dad and Brooke came to spend Thanksgiving with us. It was a nice, peaceful day.

We made a trip to the pumpkin patch again this year and Nadia had a lot more fun this time because she really knew what was going on. She had to find the ‘perfect pumpkin’ and it is happily sitting in our living room still next to the scarecrows. We met our friends Tricia and Elliott and Chrissie and Thessalie, but none of the kids were in the joint photo mood But at least the Mommies look like we were having fun.

She loved the Wookie.

And 3PPO.
