We started another new tradition, we went tubing with some great pals in the foothills </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the Smokey's on the fourth of July. I didn't get any photos of the tubing part, but we stopped </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for ice cream on the way home and the kids had fun hoolah hooping and corn holing!</div>

Living in East Tennessee we get to enjoy the many lakes in the summer. Fortunately we have pals with boats that take us along often! The kids LOVE the boat and it is such a great time whenever we go!</div>

You'd say "how big is baby? How big.....Sooooooooo Big" and the little dumpling would laugh and giggle and it was all so fun because they really were not that big. They were still your little baby. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, one day they do it to you. They really do get sooooo big. They grow so their head maybe reaches your shoulder, they can reach into the sink to wash their own dishes, they don't even need a booster seat! And turn another year older.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yup, my sweet little "first born" baby is turning nine years old today. Nine! I do not know where the time has flown to with her! But I do know that she is one amazing and wonderful nine year old girl. I am so proud of her and all the accomplishments, big and small, she's had in her 9 years. She is a lovely girl, fun and spunky but serious and sweet. She is my helper and my buddy. </span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And on this day I feel so fortunate to be able to say Happy Birthday my dear daughter, my darling QingLu! My love for you is infinite and always will be!</span></span> </b><br />

Let's just say these kids keep me way too busy! I know you all understand and are probably saying "tell me about it"!<br />
<br />
But we have been quite busy - with school ending and camp beginning. Simone finished 3rd grade with a wonderful straight A's report card - so super proud of her for that. And now I truly cannot believe she'll be going into 4th grade in the fall! The kids started summer camp at their favorite of all places. They have been swimming and gardening and hanging out with old and new friends! Sammy just learned how to swim on his own last week, which is very exciting. He just pushed off the steps and swam to Adam...and then all over the pool! Camp keeps the kids busy and I'm into my 3rd month at my new (old) job and finally feeling like I've got my work brain back!<br />
<br />
Over Mother's day weekend Adam and Simone went on a camping trip with a friend and his daughter to L.E.A.F. Festival in North Carolina. They had a really great time, but that left Sammy and me on our own. So what better way to spend Mother's Day than at the zoo with my little monkey! We were joined by my friend and her little one. I don't have any photos of the boys together....2 boys at the zoo, yep they were off in all directions!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First thing we hit was the Black Bear exhibit. And lucky we did! They were just walking all around </div>

But there is and it is today - the day before Mother's Day. It isn't on any calendars and it's not really a day of "celebration" in my opinion.<br />
But it is a day to honor a life altering act, one that is painful and difficult for most, if not all, women who decide to place their baby for adoption. <br />
<br />
And now that I know of it I'll take this opportunity to say a special prayer of thanks to the three Birth Mothers that have changed my life completely. Through the choice each of them made I have been able to grow up in a loving and amazing family, and I have been able to be Mom to the most incredible little beings in the world. <br />
<br />
I remember how difficult Mother's day was in the years before Simone came home. I remember feeling such pain and anguish once when the clerk at the grocery store unknowingly wished me a Happy Mother Day with a big smile on her face. I remember some of my friends celebrating being new Mom's and their first Mother's Day's, how I really had nothing to do besides calling my own Mother. So even now in my joy of waking up to breakfast in bed, cards and flowers and a day of (somewhat) leisure with my kids I still have the remembrance of that pain. And I often wonder if the three Birth Mothers I am forever indebted to have that very same pain.<br />
<br />
If only I could tell them that on every day they are remembered, thought of, honored and thanked. But for sure on this day I will give an extra prayer and I will give my two blessings an extra hug with their Birth Mothers in my heart.<br />

I really have let myself get behind, so let's just dive in with round 1.<br />
<br />
Back in February we celebrated Chinese New Year with our wonderful FCC friends. It was an incredible day full of laughter and entertainment. <br />

He had a huge birthday bash with lots of great friends. We had/borrowed inflatables and booked the gym at his school. The kids ran, danced, hoola-hooped, bounced and played for 2 straight hours. Even though there were over 20 kids it was a really fun afternoon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course there was a Pinata!</div>

And this next set of photos was really a huge treat for our family. I saw tickets on Groupon for a "drive thru zoo" about an hour from our house. Sure, at first we were all a bit skeptical (especially Simone!). But I tell you what...it was one of THE BEST days our family has spent! It was full of laughs and hugs and just being together! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So you basically stay in your car & roll the windows down and all these animals just come up and eat the food out of your hand! We petted deer, cows, emus (ok...we were scared of the emus and just tossed the food to them) and zebras and piglets and.....oh so many really cool, and some slobbery, animals!</div>

Yep, great animal fun!<br />
<br />
So that is the first round of catching up. <br />
I think I got us to March. Let's see what comes next!!!<br />
JQingLu Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05630636289761855864noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417966621715431111.post-43708626826085124682013-05-01T21:22:00.001-04:002013-05-01T21:22:45.315-04:00Just stuckYes, I hang my head. I admit I've not been on the blog scene for a long time, both writing and reading.<br />
<br />
You see, I just got stuck, a bit frozen inside. <br />
It started with the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary. Suddenly I couldn't drive by Simone's school without bursting into tears. I ached for those families, for those little lives so brutally taken. I cried for the moments those children spent in terror without Mommy or Daddy - for some their last. I felt such anguish on behalf of the brave teachers and the choices they were forced to make to protect those in their care -some with their own lives. I thought constantly about what a waste that coward was - that evil being that committed that crime. It was all just too much, to think some monster could just walk in to the place I thought my kids were safe - I guess we all became "collateral damage" that day. The hurt I felt for the Sandy Hook community mixed with this intense fear for my own children. And my innocent way of thinking was stolen away, causing something in me to just freeze. <br />
<br />
So I had a hard time posting about my joys of parenthood, about being thrilled over the little things we did together and days we spent being a family. There were so many that could never feel that again with their babes, these families grieving the loss of their own children. I posted about our holidays with a heavy heart and just couldn't find it in me anymore. I was literally just stuck, there were no more words to bring out, no photos worth posting.<br />
<br />
And then Boston happened. <br />
I sat glued to the TV, praying for all those killed and those injured - maimed maybe physically and definitely emotionally for life. I watched the victims, the survivors, and the heroes with a new rawness in my soul. I felt that shock, the pain, and the fear that captured a city that I hold near and dear to my heart. I heard the survivors stories with an unexplainable fascination. And then I realized that yes indeed, life is short and the joys of it can be taken away so quickly by something as terrible as a terrorist act, or something less newsworthy but still devastating, like disease or accidents or....anything. But that should not prevent us from still living. <br />
<br />
When I started this blog it was to have a written log of our adoption journey and beyond. I realized as I write each entry and add new photos that I am keeping a journal of sorts. One that I, or the kids, can go back into in years to come and relive these days. I want to continue to document the simple joys and the complex events in years to come. I want to be able to see and remember each moment as it was on that day, at that time. And I also want to share my journey of adoption and life with two amazing kids with anyone who may be interested. So for those very reasons I started this blog I am vowing to keep on with it. My heart will still clench every time I drive by Simone's school, and my mind will always wander to those families, how could it not. <br />
<br />
So in the coming weeks I'll catch myself up, get some photos loaded and events documented. A lot sure has happened - the kids have been growing so much, spring has sprung and life has been as busy as ever.<br />
<br />
And maybe when you read my posts you'll say a little prayer, or send a kind thought for the lives, both little and big, taken too early through big or little tragedies. <br />

<br />
An acquaintance recently said to me " I have wondered why your group (FCC) goes
through so much trouble to keep an identity and culture for your
children. Didn't they all come from a Country that didn't really want them. I mean, what good is it when they are just American now". It really was meant as an honest question and in no way was meant to be negative. Yet, I am saddened to
realize that is a perception some people have and I fear that my children
will one day feel the same - both not knowing what culture they fit into and wondering if their birth county ever really wanted them.<br />
<br />
Well, a few weeks ago I was able to see an amazing documentary with 100+ of my FCC pals that helped to answer that and more.<br />
<br />
But I've got to tell you, I didn't even want go to see it when I first learned of it. I really didn't think I could bear it. One of my dear friends had commented before we went that she was scared to see it, a fear many couldn't understand. But I could, I felt that fear too....<br />
<br />
So you ask why? What could have made you nervous to see a documentary about children just like yours?<br />
<br />
Because I was scared of the truth I may hear, the truth of what we've done. I've always said, and really feel, that in no way did we adopt our children to "save" them. We were purely selfish in our adoptions, we simply wanted babies and could not have them on our own. The person I did save in this adoption process was myself and what I could have become if I remained childless. Did we give them a better life....? Probably, maybe. But my heart secretly fears that we stole them from their birth countries, took away their ethnic identities - made them Americans when inside they are still Chinese. So my fear was in what these girls in the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1581845/" target="_blank">Somewhere Between</a> would have to tell me, what their truth would be? Where we right in getting our babies from elsewhere in the world, bringing them home to a culture so different from their birth. And now, are we right in teaching them about that culture left behind or should they be taught to be "just American"?<br />
<br />
I am still not sure I got all the answers, for I feel like each child brings his/her own fears, truths and emotions with adoption. My adoptive experience is far different from theirs, and each of them have differences in their own adoptive situations. But I do feel I got a better perspective on what our children may go through as they grow and my fears have been met head on.<br />
<br />
The truth is that we will do our best in raising our children in the way we feel is most beneficial for them.<br />
Do I feel that my FCC (Families with Children from China) group is an essential part of my children's life? Oh yes I do. The girls from <u>Somewhere Between</u> showed me how truly important it is to allow them their Asian identities and to give them as much culture as we can until they can make independent decisions about it. The truth is that giving them both a basis of Chinese culture and the circle of friends just like them will help them to navigate the road ahead and make decisions on who they choose to become. I will never know how it feels to be not quite American and not quite Chinese, but I can give them the tools to confidently discover all of it on their own.<br />
<br />
In some ways I feel the "truth" will be ever changing and evolving, differing with each child and each experience. I think the truth will never be able to be completely defined or described. I hope that the adoption, culture and ethnic parts of our families life will be just like all the other parts of parenting....we do what we can and hope our choices are right. My wish is that both my children understand the love I have for them, and the Countries that allowed me to be their Mama. I hope they will know as much about being Asian as a totally non-Asian Mom can offer and I that our FCC group helps to fill in the gaps. I hope that through these choices my children will grow to discover their own truths about their identity and birth culture. And I hope they feel confident enough in me and the foundation I've laid to allow me to come along for all of their journey.<br />
<br />
And that is all I discovered of the truth. For now....<br />

<br />
But we've seriously been recuperating from them for the last few weeks! It was a loooong drive to Vermont for the four of us. We were never so happy to be out of a car as when we arrived at my parents house! What should be a 16 hour drive took over 20, with weather issues and all else that comes with traveling with two kiddos! But we made it safe and sound and had a really great week in the Northeast Kingdom!<br />
