HOLMES PARTY OF FOUR

We are the Holmes Party of Four...waiting impatiently to be the Holmes Party of five!! We live in west Texas and have two wonderful children. Taylor (almost 16) and our newest edition Meisi (almost 4) adopted from China on September 11, 2005. We are currently waiting for our 2nd daughter from China! A long wait it will be, but certainly worth waiting for!!

Silly kids again....Taylor and Amy...such a sweet and loving relationship! They were being goofy as usual, Amy sure can hold her own! Amy and Taylor have been dating since September, Amy will be competing in the Miss Teen Texas Pageant in 2 weeks!! Last night we got a private performance of her talent part of the pageant-she will play the piano and she did quite an outstanding job! Taylor will be flying to Dallas on July 3rd -6th with Amy's family to watch the pageant.





Well school has been out for 2 weeks now and I am just making it to the computer! I am supposed to have more time for this now and it's just not working out that way? Meisi AND Taylor have had a sinus infections for two weeks! There has been so much wind here and NO rain that allergies have run amuck! Meisi's doctor wanted to take out her tonsils also but said we would try this first. After one big shot and 2 weeks of antibiotics she seems to be doing much, much better and even her breathing and her OUT-OF-CONTROL snoring has improved!! Taylor has been running a fever off and on for the past 2 weeks also and after 2 visits to the doctor he now has his own MEGA dose of antibiotics! This could be why I have not gotten much done. In the midst of all this Taylor has not (refused to) missed any baseball games.

Other notes-Meisi finally went to get a haircut, first one except for me trimming her bangs. Though we had her talked into it but then she changed her mind. Told her that Sophia would want to see pictures so she finally let the girl go ahead-that sweet girl cut Meisi's hair on the floor because Meisi refused to get back in te chair! Then there is the failed attemps of getting one very snuggly little girl out of MY bed?????? Any advice!!???? She had always slept in her own bed until we moved tothe new house and I didn't want her to be scared so I let her sleep in our bed.....year and a half later and this is what you have!
