Other March happenings.




What to do on one of our many rainy days...have a floor picnic




Or cuddle with 2 very cute boys.


Okay, so they might look a little alike. I wish the yellow squash on Reagan's face showed up more!




When its nice, play in the dirt with the neighbors!







Just a few pictures to enjoy.

Jack's Gotcha Day




Our new red couch photo! These are some of the kids adopted with Jack.

My cutie. Two years after being home. Isn't he amazing.




Every year around Jack's gotcha day we gather with our China family. This year we gathered in Indiana where we had a blast at a park and then on to an arcade. We always have such an amazing time with this group of people. There's a connection there that is so strong. We feel so incredibly blessed to be a part of this travel group. Everyone is amazing. The adults, the kids adopted with Jack, and all of their siblings. Can't wait to meet up again!




About Jack. I still am so amazed by the progress he has made. When we got him he was 30 inches and 16lbs. He could not walk well, he uttered no words, had not eaten solid foods, had a hole in his mouth, and wore a size 3 shoe! Now he is 28lbs, 37 inches, wears a size 7 shoe, has amazing gross motor skills, has tested out of speech, and has more drama and personality than any of us could ever imagine! Not to mention the incredible amounts of food he still consumes! So amazing!


Happy Gotcha Day Baby!!!


Umm, a bit of catching up!




Green pancakes with shamrocks on them.

My little Irish Cutie!




SO Happy St. Patrick's Day about a month late :) We've been a little busy around here, but I didn't want you to think we completely left! Everything is going well. I'm just trying my best to have fun with all the little ones. Not much free time, but that's okay because these days already fly by so fast! I cannot believe it is already the end of April!

Naked Baby Pictures


Cutest bottom around!

Insert foot in mouth.
Okay I couldn't resist. Who doesn't love a naked baby :) Reagan's 4 month stats are : 13 lbs, 3 oz. 24 inches long. She is at the 25-50% in both. She

is now beginning to eat foods. She likes barley cereal, sweet potatoes and carrots. We get to start some fruit this week!

Happy Valentine's Day!



Reagan liked hers too!

Happy Valentines!


My cuties on their pillow pets


So for Valentines this year we had a special hunt planned for the kids. They followed a trail of heart candies to their prize. Their prize was pillow pets, and they were a huge hit :) We also had pink hear shaped pancakes for breakfast, and a heart shaped pizza for dinner. It really was a fun day.

Everyone's birthday


In China it is a tradition to celebrate every one's birthday 7 days after the New Year. We thought we would do just that. We even found a bright cake like the ones in China (manager's special no less). I can't imagine why :) We sang happy birthday to everyone and blew out the candle. The kids had lots of fun with it!

House of Yick


So everyone in our house looked like this for the first 2 weeks of February. We had colds, coughs, stomach stuff, ear infections. You name it! Good times, good times. Luckily everyone is better now. I hope it stays that way.
