When Anna gets older we want to teach her about her culture. And visit China so she will learn more of where she come from.
Update: 06/25/08
Normally I update in the journal, but I wanted this info on the front page.
Anna is going to have her tonsels out on July 17th,08'. We are excited and scared at the same time. We thought the grunting and throut cleaning was a habit/tick and it would be just something she would have to live with. She kept saying that it felt like something was stuck in her throut. She has gone through so much for being so young. Thru it all she has never stopped smiling. Even her 2nd grade class voted her the "Happiest". Karate is defintly her nich. Althought she still loves to do ballet, dance, sing - all the princess stuff. There is just a connection she feels with Karate. Well better go, I am no longer working at the school. I had to work fulltime year around to survive these days with GAS and FOOD prices. Hopfully I will update after her operation. God bless you, and keep us in your prayers as well.
Update: 10/22/06 Anna, had gotten better and was able to function almost at a normal level without must difficulties. A few places that we could not eat at the smell would bother her and then she would gag. Until a resent episode at a friend of the families, she over heard an adult conversation about a dead baby and how it was thrown in the trash. They thought she was asleep, but she heard all of the nasty details two weeks ago. With her being only 6 years old she was not able to process it in her child mind, so the trauma begains again. Now she can't even eat in the school cafeteria with out gagging and throwing up. Her doctor said that her copping skills, to seperate things is low, and that she is relating food with her anxitiy. The Eco-scope found an infection called Hyperi pylori, which was treated and we are waiting to ensure that its gone from her stomach. The doctor says that she worries alot, and she has anxitiy attacks, that her mind needs to seperate from real and not real. Yes, her daddy and I are both beside ourselfs, We have placed our home up for sell, due to all of the hosptial bills, we need to sell our home and down size. Ofcourse,Anna doesn't like the thought of selling her home, but we don't have any other opptions. We are Praying to GOD, that a something happens, so we can pay all of the doctor bills. We are now going to weekly visits to Riley's childrens hospital for Anna's anxitiy visits. Helping Anna is our number one priority. help will come, we just hope its soon.

Its been almost a year now since Anna has came into our lives. I have never know so much joy and happiness. She is so beautiful and so, so smart. She just turn two in July and can say all of the ABC's and count to 12. She knows her colors and shapes. She can carry on a conversation, like you would not believe. Oh I can say is ...WOW.. and she's only two, just think what she's going to be like in another year or two.
Update: 12/18/02
Anna now knows her days of the week, can count to 20, and sings Jingle Bells, Felisnividad, Santa's coming to town. I will try and add more pictures, I like the ones I have up now so maybe later you will see some new pictures.
Update: 2/14/03
The doctor has informed us that Anna needs to be using a nebulizer to help her breath. I have decided that I will take a leave from work, due to no daycare facilities will provide this service for her need every 3 -4 hours. The Dr told me to watch what might be causing this problem, since it was not a issue when we got her.
Anna is getting so tall, she is so beautiful, she loves having her nails painted and her favorite cartoon is "Blues Clues", today she has a Valentine Party at her Daycare,

Anna is the most brilliant child I have ever known, I know that sounds so mommy like to say, but she just blows us away with her knowledge. She is like a sponge, she just drinks up all the knowledge she can take in. She is compassionate, expressive, talkative and beautiful. We are having so much fun with our little girl. If you ask her where her daddy is, she's so cute to quickly hold up her little pinkie and say " He's right here", while she wiggles her baby pinkie in the air...Boy does she ever have that daddy wrapped around her little finger.
We went to the ZOO earlier this week, that was tons of fun.
Update 5/2/03
We are still using the nebulizer, she cough a lot at night.
Anna is almost three now, we ( mommy and Anna) took in another show at the Murat' Theater... Dora the Explorer, she just loves live shows. Look out Broadway, my little Anna is ready to preform.
I am loving this stay at home mom stuff, we just got her a new swing set ( it took daddy two days to put together) she also has a new sand box and a pink Barbie corvette and 4-wheeler. Na.. I don't thing she's spoiled, do you? She is still just as cute, if not cuter the day I brought her home.
I have added more pictures, take a look.
Update 06/22/03
Anna and I are in Tenn waiting for my sister to have her baby, Anna can't wait to see a new baby.
Update 07/23/03
Anna and I are back home, Baby Cody arrived home a few weeks ago. Anna thinks he's a cutie.
Anna will start Pre-School on Aug 18th, for a few days a week. She has her Dora back pack and Barbie lunch pail ready to go. Next month we will go see the Wiggles in concert, we can't wait.
Her Uncle Tracy is still over fighting in the war, we hope and pray he will come home soon.
Update 8/24/03
We all just got back from a vacation at Florida, St Petersburg, Anna got to see and play on the beach.
She loved it, playing in the sand, putt putt gulf, she really loved the Pirate Ship that we went on.
Her two big brothers had never been to Florida, but I think she enjoyed it more than they did.
Just Anna and mommy will go back to Florida in Dec. to see Disney World, we both can't wait.
Anna has now started preschool. She is only going two days a week, but she loves it so much, I will start sending her three days a week. Its a wonderful christian preschool, great phonics and bible stories for her to learn, plus playing with kids her age.
Update: 10/01/03
We are still using the nebulizer, seems like she has more problems when I'm cleaning the house and doing laundry, I am doing more research on this.
Here comes fall then winter... Anna's wishing for the Snow and Christmas already.
HEY EVERYONE DON'T FORGET TO SIGN ANNA'S GUEST BOOK
Update: 11/07/03
It will be 2 years to the date on the 22nd of this month that we brought our angel home from China.
Anna has enriched our lives so much, she is a blessing in every way.
Anna and Mommy can't wait, we are going to Disney in Dec. what fun we will have.
Update: 12/02/03
Anna and I leave for Disney in 2 days. We are so excited.
Update: 01/08/04
Disney was the best, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party was wonderful. Christmas this year was even better than last year, and I didn't think that could be possible. Anna and Daddy put out reindeer food for Santa's reindeer and Anna and Mommy made cookie's for Santa. Anna even thought to have Santa sign her autograph book she had taken to Disney for Mickey and Snow White to sign. Anna's Preschool teachers today shared with me that they thought Anna should skip preschool and go on to Pre K next year. They say Anna is so advanced and mature. She writes her own name, counts to 50 with a little help, she knows the street she lives on, and is working on her phone number. WOW... What proud parents we are.
Update: 3/9/04
I FOUND OUT WHAT WAS MAKING ANNA SICK, SHE NOLONGER HAS TO USE THE NEBULIZOR, BUT I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW SO THEY DON'T DO THE SAME.
You will be surprised, I was surprised, mad.. it was a chemical reaction, and I now have the solution to her problem. Plus I'm healthier and my whole family is healthier. If you know someone that has allergies, MS, high LDL, CNS disorders, etc what I now know I can help, but I can't go into it in this matter. Email and I will be happy to share my findings. Plus I am saving so much money as well. kidshoez@yahoo.com
leave your email address and number.

Okay, now update on Anna, we are so excited, Nana is coming to live with us...Yeh!!
She is selling out of Oklahoma and moving to Indiana. Pre-school is almost out, fishing and the zoo here we come....
Update: Aug 3rd, 2004
Wow, summer is just flying by, Anna is now 4 years old and smarter than ever. Her birthday party was a royal ball, even Cinderella showed up to give out glass slippers to all the guest.
Anna had a magic show performed for all of her friends. A castle to jump in and water fun....
Mommy made her cake, 3 layer with all of the princess on it. Maybe next year we will just do Chuckie Cheese or something...whee.. but boy did we have fun, the house was full.
Update: Nov. 10th, 2005
Some of my updates have been in the journal, so I will give an update here on Anna as well. Anna loves Kindergarten so much, I have been subing at her school and we both think its great. Christmas is just around the corner, and tons of things I want to get my princess. She is in to ballet, Disney Princesses, music and so much more. her teacher is just amazed with how smart she is, she said that she was going to have Anna help out in class to teach the other kids how to tied their shoes and count passed a 100... Again, we are so blessed. I pray that I could keep being a stay at home mom, pray with me that this will work out to where I can always be near my "Anna". God bless those who read and care for our Anna.
Update: 3/20/06
Yes its been awhile since I updated Anna's page. A lot has gone on.... After a 15 years with a huge corp company, I have decided that Anna is much more importance to me. I will now have my summers off and and when my angel Anna is out of school so am I. I am working as a teacher now teaching k-5 computer lab....and loving it.
Anna loves coming to my classroom, and riding home with mom from school (my work). It is a dream come true. More time with my Anna and get to mold young peoples minds. God has differently blessed our family. Oh, and Daddy did the same after 16 years with the same company, we are now so over that corp.... hub..bug... No the money is not the same, but its not about the money. Its about family, and enjoying what God has for us to do while we are here on this earth.
