Lan's 2nd Adoption Birthday 2006

And further evidence of how she has grown. This was on Adoption Day 2006.

Lan's 4th Adoption Birthday 2008!!

To remind us where the time goes, we have an Ellison family tradition
that on Adoption Birthdays we put the children in the same clothes they
were wearing when we met them. You can see on the home page that in
Lan's case that darned cute jeans dress she came in has become a shirt!
It did go past her knees the first time we saw our darlin' girl. And
those sandals were too big on her then but she's grown right out of them.

Still, I can't help but ask, "Where did the time go?"

A huge Happy Adoption Birthday Miss Alexa Shaolan (LanLan)
