Chelsea's Help International

Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to: CHI PO BOX 2633 Ruston, LA 71272. We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.

More visitors:)

We have just been hanging around the house and exploring the living room. Tonight she ventured into the kitchen and hallway by herself. So glad she is feeling comfortable in her home. She is a complete joy and is so loved, especially by her big brothers. Here are some pics from the past couple of days.

Last night Chelsea had noodles. Graham has taught her a new trick.





I took her by my book club last night to meet the ladies and she had a very good time. No pics though but it was an "outing".

We started the day with a visit from 2 very special girls and their mom. Tatum and Kenley visited with Kim. Kelley's adoption two years ago and Kim's support was the catalyst for our family's desire to bring Chelsea home.





Cousin May Hollis also stopped by for a visit. Chelsea was so excited to see her and ran to her with smiles and hugs.



Chelsea learned to slide today:


Graham taught her all her shapes and she said them all. He is so sweet with her and loves to teach her new things.


Then we went on our first walk around the 'hood. We saw a couple of neighbors and visited. Se loved it.


Then cousins Zoe and Mia came over and helped her with sliding. She really got the hang of it.



Daddy has wanted her to have "horns" so we gave them a try tonight. What a cutie. This is for home only:)


Then she learned to catch falling Cheerios.


Chelsea is also very flexible:



We also had a visit from Cousin-in-law Ginny and her two children,Ginger and Brice. Ginger gladly passed down lots of bows that she "is not into anymore" and they brought this precious bow holder. Cayden took his time to put on the bows on.



Dinner was brought by a friend which included chicken and dumplings and Social Bites cupcakes. They were both yummy and Chelsea can be declared Southern now. Cant wait to see what tomorrow brings. the boys return to school after being out for a month!
