The MacDonald Clan!!!
















Lily is having a great time at home. She is settled into her sleep routine(all night!!), loves to play with her brother and sister and enjoys her special time with dad and mom. We have had a quiet week of spending time together and getting into our little routine. I thought I would be blogging earlier, but we are pretty busy with the three kids. Lily is now pulling herself up and cruising all around the furniture. She likes to try new foods and is enjoying her new books and toys. When she wants to play, she will grab your hands, pull herself to stand and throw herself into your arms laughing...It is sooo cute. Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone for following us along our journey to Lily and her journey home. Reading the blog when I woke up in China would give a boost for the day, and often a little cry. I am going to print and bind this blog into a little book for Lily so she will know the incredible trip we had in China and all the love and support that came from family and friends. I am wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Holiday Season.

Hi everyone,

It looks like Lily has two great baby-sitters/brother & sister. Samuel and Isabel, make sure you teach Lily all sorts of things so she can show the rest of the Aucoin Clan in a few weeks.

The pictures are great. Can't wait to see Lily in person.

She's a great girl, welcomed in a great family. She is so lucky and I am sure one day she will come to understand this! Loving all the pictures and always the news... it will be a great souvenir of your journey when it's all bound. Looking forward to spending always more time with the MacDonald clan....watch out Twin Shores we're coming this summer, bigger and better than before!

The Aucoin's are very excited to finally meet Lily in person. Only 4 more sleeps until we get to meet this movie star who has touched all our hearts so very deeply. May your first Christmas together be blessed with lots of love and laughter. We look forward to watching her grow.
