are a type of narrow streets or alleys, most commonly associated with Beijing, China. In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuan, traditional courtyard residences.[1] Many neighbourhoods were formed by joining one siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another. The word hutong is also used to refer to such neighbourhoods.<br />

She said Yes! That was a shocker since she hasn't been letting me do it lately. I bought some vintage hats at a local antique store about a year ago with the intention of taking some pictures later on. We took these indoors on a very cloudy day and it was almost sunset so I had virtually no natural light. So what I'm trying to say is these aren't that good. lol.<br />

<br />
It started about 4 months after we brought her home. Gary would tell her to take it eeeeeeeeasy and Malia would stop doing whatever she was doing and bust out laughing. No matter what, she thought that word was the funniest thing in the world. So every once in awhile one of us would bust out with eeeeeeeasy and she would lose it. Its the weirdest phenomenon to experience, really.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to about a week ago, Malia is watching the new Dora Christmas movie and on it someone mentions Santa's "Naughty List". This has Malia rolling on the floor. So she is walking around the house just randomly saying "naughty list" and laughing so hard that her legs give out and she sinks to the floor. So Wednesday night she for some reason got up in the middle of the night. Gary took her back to her bed and she started to cry. Gary said she was really crying and upset so he just blurted out "naughty list" and she went from crying big crocodile tears to laughing, instantly.<br />
I just don't get it, but apparently buzz words can come in very handy. :)<br />

Everyday day she says something new that makes me laugh. Yesterday we just got out of the car and she races to the door because for some reason she likes to be the first one in. Well , she couldn't get the door open, so she gives this big sigh and says " this freaking door wont open" except she says "feeking" hahahahaha. I never heard her say that before. Last night on the way to bed she starts gesturing wildly with her hands and shrugging her shoulders while rambling something about Saturday and Sunday. This went on for about 2 minuets. She goes back and forth about Saturday and Sunday, I look at her intensely while shaking my head yes, pretending to understand her.........She was so serious, but the only thing I could understand are the words Saturday and Sunday. <br />

</div>The people who own the campground raise a lot of money every year for St Jude's. They have two big events a year to help raise money. One of the many things they do is raffle off an authentic amish quilt made by a local family. I spent $5.00 for 8 chances on this quilt. Can you guess who won the quilt? Yeah, I know ! I can hardly believe it myself, lol. I have decided that my mama gets first dibs on it and if she doesnt want it maybe I'll try and raffle it off myself. It is pretty stunning to look at it close up because it is all hand sewn and the designs in it are..........Well just put it this way, I could never do something like that by hand.<br />

Here's a little back round on the situation. Malia went to therapy 3 times a week for the past 2 years. A "school bus" which was really a yellow school van picked her up and took her. So she thought she was cool cause she got to ride in a "school bus". While having a discussion with some of her therapist and teachers we decided that she would be better off riding a van to school instead of a regular school bus, we felt that she would have too much of a hard time stepping on and off the high steps to get on and off. So a van was arranged, I thought this would be a big help in her transition because she was used to the van. BUT her van was yellow, the one that pulled in was white along with a strange (new) driver and a totally different set of kids on board. The look on Malia's face was an indicator that this was not a good thing. She does NOT take well to ANY changes. Ugh, I think it was just as hard on me as it was on her. <br />
The look on her face is the attempt at a smile but I'm going to cry look.<br />

It also happens to be the 3 year anniversary of when she put her feet on US soil. We came home from China on her 2nd Birthday. We didn't have a big party for her, just a small one with family. We do plan on having a big one next year because it will be a double one! Malia and her new sisters birthdays are only 7 days apart.<br />

If you are interested in any of the dresses please either leave a comment with your email or email me directly at jd_shannon @ Live.com (remove spaces) All dresses are $18.00 plus shipping cost. Although I can make any one of these dresses in sizes 18 months to 6 yrs, you can always get the size 4 or 5 and have a 6 yr old wear it with leggings. <br />

Size 4<br />

Little did I know but the town of Cooperstown (Baseball Hall of Fame) is only a few miles down the road,<br />
we went and walked around for a bit, its a really cute old fashion town. Everything is about baseball there, we saw this NY Yankee's corvette sitting along the street. We also saw it sitting along side the road broke down on the way home on Monday. <br />

Its kind of a long read, but well worth it.<br />
<br />
A Different Perspective<br />
Imagine for a moment…<br />
You have met the person you’ve dreamed about all your life. He has every quality that you desire in a spouse.<br />
You plan for the wedding, enjoying every free moment with your fiancée. You love his touch, his smell, the way he looks into your eyes. For the first time in your life, you understand what is meant by “soul mate,” for this person understands you in a way that no one else does. Your heart beats in rhythm with his. Your emotions are intimately tied to his every joy, his every sorrow. The wedding comes. It is a happy celebration, but the best part is that you are finally the wife of this wonderful man. You fall asleep that night, exhausted from the day’s events, but relaxed and joyful in the knowledge that you are next to the person who loves you more than anyone in the world…the person who will be with you for the rest of your life.<br />
The next morning you wake up, nestled in your partner’s arms. You open your eyes and immediately look for<br />
his face. But it’s not him! You are in the arms of another man. You recoil in horror. Who is this man? Where is your beloved? You ask questions of the new man, but it quickly becomes apparent that he doesn’t understand you. You search every room in the house, calling and calling for your husband. The new guy follows you around, trying to hug you, pat you on the back. . .even trying to stroke<br />
your arm, acting like everything is okay. But you know that nothing is okay. Your beloved is gone. Where is he? Will he return? When? What has happened to him? Weeks pass. You cry and cry over the loss of your<br />
beloved. Sometimes you ache silently, in shock over what has happened. The new guy tries to comfort you. You appreciate his attempts, but he doesn’t speak your language-either verbally or emotionally. He doesn’t seem to realize the terrible thing that has happened...that your sweetheart is gone.<br />
You find it difficult to sleep. The new guy tries to comfort you at bedtime with soft words and gentle<br />
touches, but you avoid him, preferring to sleep alone, away from him and any intimate words or contact.<br />
Months later, you still ache for your beloved, but gradually you are learning to trust this new guy. He’s finally<br />
learned that you like your coffee black, not doctored up with cream and sugar. Although you still don’t understand his bedtime songs, you like the lilt of his voice and take some comfort in it.<br />
More time passes. One morning, you wake up to find a full suitcase sitting next to the front door. You try to<br />
ask him about it, but he just takes you by the hand and leads you to the car. You drive and drive and drive.<br />
Nothing is familiar. Where are you? Where is he taking you? You pull up to a large building. He leads you to an elevator and up to a room filled with people. Many are crying. Some are ecstatic with joy. You are confused. And worried. The man leads you over to the corner. Another man opens his arms and sweeps you up in an embrace. He rubs your back and kisses your cheeks, obviously thrilled to see you. You are anything but thrilled to see him. Who in the world is he? Where is your beloved? You reach for the man who brought you, but he just smiles (although he seems to be tearing up, which concerns you), pats you on the back, and puts your hand in the hands of the new guy. The new guy picks up your suitcase and leads you to the door. The familiar face starts openly crying, waving and waving as the elevator doors close on you and the new guy.<br />
The new guy drives you to an airport and you follow him, not knowing what else to do. Sometimes you cry, but then the new guy tries to make you smile, so you grin back, wanting to “get along.” You board a plane. The flight is long. You sleep a lot, wanting to mentally escape from the situation. Hours later, the plane touches down. The new guy is very excited and leads you into the airport where dozens of people are there to greet you. Light bulbs flash as your photo is taken again and again. The new guy takes you to another<br />
guy who hugs you. Who is this one? You smile at him. Then you are taken to another man who pats your back and kisses your cheek. Then yet another fellow gives you a big hug and messes your hair. Finally, someone (which guy is this?) pulls you into his arms with the biggest hug you’ve ever had. He kisses you all over your cheeks and croons to you in some language you’ve never heard before.<br />
He leads you to a car and drives you to another location. Everything here looks different. The climate is not what you’re used to. The smells are strange. Nothing tastes familiar, except for the black coffee. You wonder if someone told him that you like your coffee black. You find it nearly impossible to sleep. Sometimes you lie in bed for hours, staring into the blackness, furious with your husband for leaving you, yet aching from the loss. The new guy checks on you. He seems concerned and tries to comfort you with soft words and a mug of warm milk. You turn away, pretending to go to asleep.<br />
People come to the house. You can feel the anxiety start to bubble over as you look into the faces of all the new people. You tightly grasp the new guy’s hand. He pulls you closer. People smile and nudge one other, marveling at how quickly you’ve fallen in love. Strangers reach for you, wanting to be a part of the happiness. Each time a man hugs you, you wonder if he will be the one to take you away. Just in case, you keep your suitcase packed and ready. Although the man at this house is nice and you’re hanging on for dear life, you’ve learned from experience that men come and go, so you just wait in expectation for the next one to come along. Each morning, the new guy hands you a cup of coffee and looks at you expectantly.<br />
A couple of times the pain and anger for your husband is so great that you lash out, sending hot coffee across the room, causing the new guy to yelp in pain. He just looks at you, bewildered. But most of the time you calmly take the cup. You give him a smile. And wait. And wait. And wait. How would each of us handle all these changes?<br />
<br />
How would this impact us for the rest of our lives?<br />

I peeked around the corner of the sun room and this is what I found. <br />
She has only recently gotten "into" playing with dolls. I love the 'deer in the head lights look' lol.<br />

She is 4 yrs old and from Shenyang in Liaoning Providence. She has mild right hemiplegia,(Cerebral Palsy) the same thing that Malia has, but their opposite sides are effected. She has been living with a foster family for the past 2 years. We haven't really decided on a name yet, but were getting close. We hope to travel between September and November. Malia is very excited to be getting a sister, and so are we!!!JShannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08614749650718855387noreply@blogger.com6
