Formerly "To China For Kelly"

When I originally set up this blog, it was to chronicle our trip to China to adopt our daughter, Kelly; thus the title, "To China For Kelly." But now that I've decided to keep it up as my on-line scrapbook/journal, the title needs updating.
Inspired by my girls, who, despite their ten year age difference, both love lollipops and lip gloss; it is now titled, "From Lollipops to Lip Gloss." This is not to leave my son out, who also loves lollipops, but isn't too big on lip gloss, understandably!

Camryn turns 12 in Colorado!


We made it to Colorado just in time for Camryn's 12th birthday! Wow- I don't know how my little peanut got so big on me! One more year and it's the teens! EEK. Seriously, she is growing into such a lovely young lady and I'm so very blessed to be her mom.
The kids have been enjoying every minute of their time with their Grammie, Uncle Joel, Auntie & especially their cousins, as have I.
Auntie made this beautiful butterfly cake for Camryn. She spent so much time on it- Camryn really felt special and so very loved.

Flowers for the birthday girl!

Dear Jennifer,
It was a pure delight and joy to meet you, Camryn and Kelly today!!! Thank you so very much for coming over to see me and my boys! I felt like I already knew you, but it was a treat to meet you in person and such a treat to enjoy bagels together. Thanks again for coming over. Enjoy the rest of your time here in Colorado!
