Our trip to Disney and much more`

Wow! It's been so long since I have updated this blog! Life has been wonderful with Alex the last few months! We took him to Disney in April for Spring Break and he loved EVERY second of it. He also lost a bunch of front teeth. He loved the rides, the warm weather and the swimming pool. He has learned to swim now with his big brother Jake.

In May, he tested out of the ESL/ELL program. He also started working with a Chinese tutor. Now that he is fluent in English, I want him to retain his Chinese. He is working hard with his tutor and it's starting to come back to him when he works with her.

In June, as school ended, we took the entire family to a rented beach house in Outerbanks, NC. Alex loved the beach, the four wheelin' the mini-golf, and spending time with his family!

He is such a joy! He loves new adventures, loves doing new things, and love his family as we love him. People think we have had him since he was a baby, and are always surprised (after hearing him speak or seeing him interact with us) that he only became part of our family less than 11 months ago!!!
