This blog began with our journey to China when we received our adopted daughter and third child, Alexandra. The lady bug is the common symbol, or mascott for adopted Chinese daughters. The blog has since evolved into a journal of our trials, triumphs, joys and complete loss of sanity (that is often restored by copious amounts of chocolate or beer- taken only on an as needed basis, of course), as we embrace daily life with four beautiful little children.

I'm Rooting for This Lady



Check out the story of this German gymnast whose not really a German, Oksana Chusovitina. She is 33 years old (that's thirty-three years old!) and a five-time Olympic gymnast who continues to compete in order to battle her eight year old son's leukemia. She has qualified for the individual event finals in vault. Watching this lady compete in a world full of 16 year old gymnasts makes me feel not quite so old! (Lazy perhaps, but not old).
Check out her bio here
