Who's the Cutest

Emma saw these fellows and decided to model along with them.

Our Valentine Progressive Dinner






Larry and Debra James hosted the main course for the progressive dinner at their house. Now you know who came to the James.... I think Bobby tried to leave Larry and Teresa out or he just might need some photography lessons. Sorry Larry & Teresa....

Figure this One Out

Cooper told my mother the other day, He said "I think Emma looks Chinese don't you"... (Wonder where he thought I came from)

Now Look At Me


Today February 19, I have been in America for 6 months. I came to Athens to my Nana and PaPaw's for my 6 months evaluation. (Why I don't Know) because I am having a good time, can't you tell how much I have changed. For some reason they have to check me out and make sure I am being taken care of. I think I am. I have met so many people and have won so many hearts over the last 6 months. See my brother Cooper, he sure does love me ... a little to much sometime. That's my mom and dad in the picture to. They love me too. I am blessed. Thanks to all of you for loving me. Emma

A Red Thread to China

A red thread to China was cast today
From us to a child so far away,
This thread symbolizes an attachment of hearts
That distance alone can't keep us apart.
Her mother and I are caught in a chase
That time alone will bring us to face
This loving young child we want so much to greet
With love in our hearts before we did meet.
This tiny, thin thread may stretch, tangle or fray
But our love for her grows stronger each day,
Through the test of time it won't break or sever
She'll be part of us forever and ever,
With oceans between us, the distance is spanned
By a love that is greater than man could have planned.
For God in His Mercy loved her and us
And decided our family would be a great plus.
So for now we'll just love her and pray every day
That God keeps her and loves her for us till we may
Travel to China, that land of great past,
To the side of our daughter, to hold her at last...

Gotcha Day





So August 27, 2007 Our long awaited journey came to past and our lives were blessed by Emma Lei Long. She was not to fond of us at the time. Her world had been turned upside down. But the world that was going to open to her was just beginning.

Where Did They All Come From


You will never meet none like them. Another family that touched our lives in so many ways..We are blessed...

Some People You Never Forget


Our dearest friends in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. These are people we spent so much time with in Indiana. They adopted us as Family and they will always have a special place in our hearts..They have added one, Justin which is not pictured...

Alabama Here We Come


Take a look at Cooper who is an Alabama Fan all the way and Miss Emma who is right along beside him. One of her first words in English was "Roll Tide"...probably because she got such a response from us....

Bullington's Highlights

Well I have decided to join ranks and have a blog....So our friends and family can journey along with us see what goes on in our lives.

We have 4 Grandchildren. Tyler is 14 going on 15, Cooper is 5 going on 6, Justin is 5 going on 6 and Emma Lei is our latest addition. She is 20 months old and was "Made in China". We waited for over 2 years to get her and she has touched our lives and most of all our hearts..We love our boys but it is nice to have a little Girl so we can have some frills.
