We had Mother's day celebrations at Megan Ling's school and at home with our family, various school field trips for the kids and the general everyday "busyness".
A highlight of the month was the one year anniversary of Megan Ling's adoption and the wonderful celebration that we had with family and friends. We invited folks to stop in anytime during an open house from afternoon to evening and asked guests to bring fabric for her 100 Wishes Quilt that I will be making her. We received so many exciting, beautiful and adorable fabrics. I can't wait to start sewing it. In lieu of gifts we asked for donations to Chaoyang SWI and collected almost $200 which Eric and I will match for a total of $400! The Chaoyang Mission Group will be going to China July 2-13, 2009 and they will take our donation and put it towards washing machines and playground equipment for the children.
Another highlight was our trip to Florida to visit my mom and stepfather.
Guy celebrated his "90 something" birthday last month and I really wanted Megan Ling to meet him. The girls and I went to see them while the boys went camping with Eric's parents. We had a great time in Florida. It was a quick visit, down Friday AM and return late on Sunday PM, but we fit in a lot of quality time, swimming in the pool and even went to the ocean, which both Megan Ling and Mary Alice loved.
The boys discovered a large patch of Lady Slippers, apparently a rare sighting.
And the weekend included a workshop displaying these beautiful birds.
This week was Megan's last dance class. She LOVES her teacher, Miss Elizabeth. She has enjoyed Kinderdance so much. Here is a video of her dance recital.
And this picture was just so darn cute, I had to include it. :)
