Wow, what a show

I absolutely love going to see Elizabeth perform at school. This year's performance was so cute. They had Hip Hop Chinese dancing, Funny skits with cute kids, sweet little kindergardeners and it was all top notch! I can sure tell the teachers love what they are doing and the kids love them too. I'll put the pictures up later but Elizabeth's class were Kung Fu dancers and they were absolutely amazing!

In two years I'll be there watching both my girls and will probably cry buckets!



I got a little choked up watching the kids and wondering how many were adopted. I get bittersweet feelings at these performances. I am trying to show my girls that I respect their Chinese heritage but wonder if I am doing enough. When they get older will they have hard feelings or will they know they were loved both in China and with me? I work hard at letting them know about the past and hope I show respect. I can't help but think of their birth moms and foster moms on days like today. I can't help but wonder if my girls will also think of them and have regrets that their other moms couldn't be here too.

Elizabeth and Ella, someday in the future you will read this blog and I want you to know I love you and want you to know its ok to talk about your China family. I am thankful to them for giving you both the love that is deep in your soul. I want you to remember them and include them in our family too! I have few memories of my Mom and I want you to have as many memories of all your moms that you can. Please don't lose those memories. I know you won't lose the feelings and I want you to know that is exactly how it should be.
