This weekend started off with a bang. Just before we left to go to see Shelby's family in Massachusetts, we got the video and picture CD from our friend Eric who was over in China recently. He and his wife Stacy are adopting a little girl from the same orphanage as Saxton, so he made a visit to the Yiwu Social Welfare Institute. He was able to get some great video of Saxton and his daughter playing with the nannies.
We are proud to say that Saxton is full of energy. He was clapping and dancing with the nannies as they sang songs to the Saxton and Grace. It was very exciting to see him in motion and to hear his little voice say "a-ee." We must have shown the video to different members of Shelby's family at least ten times. But every time we were excited to see Saxton, as if it were the first time we saw him. By the way, my arm is black and blue from where Shelby kept hitting me and saying, "DID YOU SEE HIM!!! HE'S DANCING AND CLAPPING!!!" Oh well, they are great love taps and I couldn't be more excited.
We had a great weekend up in Massachusetts. Sawyer's (and Saxton's) Bupshi and Papa spoiled him with gifts. What else are Grandparents for?
Then we celebrated Shelby's Birthday (which is this Sunday) with a beautiful cake...
...and some fireworks!!!
We hope you all had a great weekend!! I know we did!!!
