I Just Love My Girls

Just sitting here with dinner ready to serve, but delaying it a bit as the girls are in the basement playing dolls. I can hear them laughing and talking, and singing a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday". I just love my girls and can't wait until there is one more.

October Activities

Gosh, things are busy here. We go from one activity to the next, with never a dull moment, and in between it all, I am constantly thinking about Shanna, how she is, what she is doing, what she is thinking, how she would fit in to each and every activity that we do, and of course, when will we meet her! I am pricing tickets to China on a daily basis, praying that the prices will not go up too much, as we cannot purchase our tickets until we have our official Travel Approval from the Chinese Government and our Consulate Appointment date to get her visa.

I am pretty sure that we will get our approval soon, in time for travel right after Thanksgiving.

These are the cutest little pumpkins that Mary Alice made.

This is a recent photo of Sophia (Bao Bao), Megan's dear friend from Chaoyang. Sofia is now 5 years old, and showing off her new room!

Megan & Madeline, her friend from the bus!

I have no idea why this video has music.

Somehow Youtube added it and I don't know how to get rid of it! :)

Happy Birthday, Mary Alice!

Last week we celebrated Mary Alice's 12th birthday. Time flies so fast.

The Beautiful Birthday Girl Now!

She had a small party with a few close friends and had a separate sleepover with her best buddies from church. She had a good time with all. Here are some highlights. Unfortunately, I missed out on taking photos from the sleepover. Too bad, but maybe next time.
