Is it really September?

Hi to all. I'm having trouble believing it is September! The days are just flying by now. Jordyn celebrated her 5th birthday last Tuesday 8/26 with Mom and Aunt Sherry at Pullen Park. It is so much fun to see her do things for the first time. She loved the train and the carousel - but wanted nothing to do with the boats. We had a picnic and fed the ducks. I received some really good news from China recently. I found out that Jordyn's birth mother left her immunization papers with her. Her name was on the paper and Haoyun is the name her birth mother gave her! Also, the first immunization was given 10/10/03 which means she is 5 or close to it. My guide in China who sent this information (Maggie) said that often these first shots are given at birth so it is possible that she was born on Oct 10, 2003. We will continue to celebrate on 8/26 since that is on her birth certificate but it is great to know that we are close and that the year is correct! Jordyn is doing great and learns news things every day. She received a trike for her birthday and she is trying to figure that out! Each day is a new adventure! She starts preschool tomorrow - she will go for 3 hours on Monday and Wednesday at our church. If anyone is out our way, please come visit! Much love, k
