Hard to believe we are getting close

Yes, we are getting close to our First Year Anniversary with our sweet Madison. Hard to believe also I have not posted in months, but then that's motherhood time is of value and whatever little time we have "free" we spend with Maddie. She's fun, loving, funny, disciplined, and very very bossy HA HA.... not kidding, she orders everyone around that is everyone who lets her... well we let her some times but all for fun. I was able to upload a couple of more videos and pictures... the link for the videos is the same...

Our little girl is healthy!!!!

Thank you God and to my Mom special thanks because as usual she's working overtime to make her daughter indefinitely happy! thank thank you... Yesterday we took our little Maddi to get an EEG done by the University of Miami's finest Neurologists and EEG Specialist (she was amazing, thank you Christi!) and it was confirmed, our Madison is officially epilepsy free!!! This was the condition that took us to her and now that no longer exists it's just the plain truth that it was an excuse to find us!!!! we are so happy and moved by our whole journey that guided us to the happiest day of our lives.... HERE'S TO YOU OUR DEAR DAUGHTER YOU WERE MEANT TO BE OURS NO MATTER WHAT LIFE THROW AT US WE'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU!!!!

Our First Xmas together as a family of three!!!!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY LITTLE GIRL!!!

Today we celebrated our little girl's 3rd Birthday, though was a quiet day we'll do a little celebration on Saturday with our closest friends... We love you so much and can't imagine our lives without you.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH ALL OUR LOVE, MOMMY AND DADDY!

Our new lives, more than we could've ever imagined...

I'M LOVING THANKSGIVINGS!!!

Mommy's little helper...

Our love keeps growing stronger, our bonding incredibly smooth and can't be more grateful to Mom, Grandpa Maury and God for I'm sure they've watched over us from day one.... Madison is doing wonderful, every day she develops a new smile, a new look with those dreamy sweet eyes and she seems to accept our love more and more each day... Last night was yet another huge milestone, she finally slept in her bed. Joe laid down with her just to see her reaction since everytime we've tried so far she would cry but this time to our surprise she let him put her down... after just a few minutes she fell asleep and voula!!! that's all it took, she didn't wake up until this morning with a huge smile on her face... of course I hardly slept waiting to hear a cry anytime now, and watching our tv which is hooked up to a monitor in her room to see if I saw any sudden movements... ha ha... the only moving at one point was Ricky, our cat, trying to scratch the barrier we put up so she wouldn't fall out of bed.... ha ha ha... anyhow here are some pictures from Thanksgivings which by the way was uneventful and lots of fun specially because we decided not to cancel it, our family was worried it would be too much for us to handle with Madison's arrival... Boy did she prove everyone wrong, she was a total lady, played with Amber all night and behaved all night to the pride of her wonderful mommy and daddy....

An unforgettable welcome!

Thank you to our family represented by Adam, Joe's brother, our FCC family and our friends the Nevilles, and Kathy, Fred and Eric... all of you are awesome! thank you for being there for us as we touched down at home!!! finally! thought we would never make it after a very very very long trip of close to 24 hours between four cities (Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Newark and Ft. Lauderdale) and their corresponding lay overs grrrr... Thankfully, Madison did great in all the flights except for the Ft. Lauderdale one when she finally realized that enough was enough... but we made it home and that's all it matters now....

THANK YOU CHINA... IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER

It's time to say, see you later. We are leaving in about an hour with mixed emotions, happy to be going back home and start our new life with our little angel but at the same time leaving an amazing county, with amazing people and same amazing culture. The country who saw our baby be born and who selflessly let us take her home with ous and care for her... We will never be thankful enough for this. We had our last dinner at, where else but "Lucy's", there we got together with other couples who felt the same way about our departure. We all agreed on how hard it was to say goodbye for now... Special thanks to Veronica, our guide, now our dear friend who did everything possible to make us feel at home... and thank you to all the families who were with us who were willing to help out with just a kind word of encouragement or a good funny remark.. (Mari, Dawn, Robbie, Ina just to name a few...). Safe trip everyone!!!

More amazing days and more in the future...

It has been a roller coaster of emotions but we have accomplished so much in such a small period of time... from a frightened little girl to a happy (most of the time now) funny incredible little angel... We feel the mutual love constantly, her trust on us is evident she does what she's told and if she doesn't do it she'll think about it and then she'll do it. Tonight we went on a night cruise of Guangzhou which Veronica arranged for us, again Veronica is amazing and will never stop thanking her for everything she's done and is still doing for us. Maddy seemed to enjoy the fresh air on the cruise plus there two other kids who played with her most of the time, there were Brynn and Davis brother and sister to Alexandra and brand new baby brother Henry. Just some of the many wonderful people we've met on this trip and I really really hope we keep in touch with them. I believe our group rocked, we all got along great and spent lots of time together... Ok, it's 11:30PM and my eyes are closing... Enjoy the pictures and videos in our dropshots...

Love

Heidy, Joey and Madison.

Two huge milestones and Videos of the Power of Love.....

Hello everyone... today was yet another incredible day. Madison went to the potty!!! and the most important one, she called Joey "Daddy". I'm not lying!!! we were having lunch and we were playing with her and in between giggles she said "daddy" we both looked at each other and said "nooooo way"... "we are hearing things" and just laughed it off... a couple of minutes later Joey was talking to one of the other fathers and all of a sudden she starts rubbing Joe's arm very gently and says very softly "Daddy".... that was it!!! we were not imagining...this happened while I was talking to Veronica and all three of us heard it!!! What an amazing feeling!!!!!!! Joey was almost in tears and also has not stopped saying he is "The Daddy"!!!! lol.... Also, wanted to let you know we've posted some videos in dropshots.com. Here's the link:

We went to the zoo today and we only came back to the hotel for a nap and out we go again.....

Introducing our Madison Xiao Frost in a good day...

Yes, yes... today she had an amazing day. She laughed, played, put toys away, fed mommy, fed daddy, gave daddy a tin tin (kiss) and danced with her head!!! Oh my God, our girl is okk!!! her head bump is getting better, we took her to the doctor here at the hotel for that, the bronchitis and ear infection and all is good... Would love to post in more details but have no energy at this point, here are some pictures and videos that speak louder than any words could be put together......
