Born on the other side of the world, and placed in our hearts . Now she is home. Before she had a name, our children lovingly referred to her as "the China girl"
What an amazing smile!!! You can tell she is just SOOOOOOO happy about those shoes. I like the sound too!! Is she starting dance lessons? I REALLY need to get my two in something...I just need to find something they both can do!! :) Thanks for sharing this sweet video. I really need to get a good video of all of us to post. I just love getting to see you guys "in person"....sort of!!! Have a great day!!! Buffi
Kimmie is starting dance in a few weeks! Tap shoes have a way of making little girls light up, and Nina certainly shines! LOVE this video! And how cool about the firework convention!
The adventures of our family continue long after this adoption journey has ended. For that purpose we will be starting a new Blogfor friends and family. If you would like access to this new blog, please email us at wyochinagirl@gmail.com
We are an international family with roots in the USA, Switzerland, and China. We have 6 children between the ages of 8 and 14. Our youngest two daughters were adopted from China in 2007 and 2010. We live in the "Forever West" State of Wyoming, USA, where we enjoy living and celebrating our different heritage with its unique traditions.
We're nuts about God, family, Swiss Chocolate, legos, traveling, green smoothies, soccer, video games, gardening, Nutella, laptops, tapioca pudding, princesses, reading, home-made bread, potstickers, friends, and many other things that the Lord has blessed us with.

love will grow
do you trust me
little girl?
when your merry eyes
seemed dimmed with dreaming
do you grieve?
in their troubled depth
lie memories
of other mothers
this I know
do you trust me
little girl
realize that after me
there will be
no other mothers-
that for this human measure
of "forever"
I am yours?
trust me first
my darling...
love will grow

Her smile and happy feet say it all. How cute. I can't wait to see more of Nina and her dancing videos.

From squeaky shoes to tap shoes. What a beautiful little girl Miss Nina has grown into. That smile melts my heart.
