We are leaving tomorrow for Sarah Lu's first vacation. I'm sure I'll have lots of adorable pictures and stories to post once we're back. Both of our dogs are coming with us and Sarah is very happy (as am I) about that too. She packed up her Veggietales rolling suitcase with all of her baby dollies, so she is all ready to go! The ticker above is to countdown the days until more posts of Sarah Lu!

I posted quite a lot tonight, so be sure to scroll down to see everything... Note: There are quite a lot to hold you over for a little while ;) See ya soon!

On another note, this is my 200th post on this blog!

"I love my angel" My angel is a nickname Sarah came up with all on her own for her gou-gou Wesley. Now that's Puppy Love!!

"Look at me. I made the chair into triangle!"

Who is this big girl with a ponytail?

"It's ME, Sarah Lu! And it's not a "ponytail" silly, it is a TONYPAIL!"

"It's so much fun to be a grown up girl with a tonypail!"

"I LOVE my new "Tony-pail"!!!

"Hi everyone! Watch what I'm going to do!!"

"Climbing up..."

"Almost There!"

"I'm up!!"

"Look at me in the van with my Gou-Gou Wesley!!"

Fast asleep on the way home... All that climbing was exhausting!

"I'm filling up the baby bottle so I can feed my baby!"

"Here Baby, you need to drink some "shway" (water)"

"And then baby goes pee-pee"

"Baby needs a bath now!"

"Bathtime is much more fun with TWO babies!"

"Out of the tub and drying off."

"Look! I have a bottle and my babies have a bottle!"

"All ready for bed!"

The other day in the "Nicknames" post I mentioned Sarah Lu's latest self-given nickname, Kitty. Well, here she is, my cute little kitty cat!! She was thrilled when we put lipstick on her nose and drew little whiskers on her cheeks, just like a REAL kitty!"I'm a kitty!""Meow-Meow"

This week's FFFF challenge on Loving Lydia is "Cheesy Grins!"
Sarah Lu definitely has "cheesy grins" in the photos above (click to enlarge)

Sarah Lu is such an absolute sweetie! She is always amazing me with her sweetness and is always thinking about doing things for other people. What just happened a minute ago is an example of this. My older sister Chrissy, Sarah Lu, an I were eating lunch in the kitchen at a small table in there. Both Sarah and Chrissy were sititing down and I was standing up eating as I just didn't feel like getting a chair from the other room. Well, while Sarah is in the middle of eating her lunch, she jumps out of her chair and says, "I be right back!" and then quickly runs out of the room. A minute later we see her coming down the hallway pushing in front of her my computer chair! She pushed it all the way up to the table and said, patting the chair, "There Yashi, you can sit!" My heart just melted! She noticed that I was standing up because there weren't enouhg chairs for all of us to sit down and went all the way to my room to get my computer chair and bring it all the way back so that I could sit down too!! She is such an awesome little girl and I am so blessed to be her big sister!

A huge THANK YOU to Ally of Picture Perfect for making the digital scrapbook page for me! I LOVE it!! I'm absolutely thrilled with it and how it turned out!!!

The photos are of Sarah Lu when she was in China. She was at the Ping An Medical Foster Home when these pictures where taken, April 2006. These have always been some of my favorites!
