Fun at Aunt Julie's!

All of the kids together...how did I do it?? I told them I was sending this picture to China! It works every time. Too bad Ayden looks like he's stoned. :)

Remmie

Remmie
1999-2008

Last Friday my poor little Remmie died after a bout with congestive heart failure. He lived much longer than expected though
since the vet had only given him a couple of years to live 9 years ago!

Will we be adding any more pets to the family???? Stay tuned....

The Hohman's visit!

Alison Hohman visited with her crew on Wednesday and everyone had a great time!! Some of you might remember that Paul and Jayde are from the same orphanage in Chenzhou, China so it is always good to get them together. I love this picture of them together. Paul is absolutely adorable!!!

Here are three little monkey's on the back of the couch. I was a little worried about Paul falling off but NOTHING stops this kid! He is amazing. And so is little Audrey! She is just as adorable and also from China...I'm just not sure where.

Rita is the newest addition to the family. She is from Armenia and she is something else! She loves pink and anything girly so of course her and Jayde got along just fine. She has been in the country for 4 weeks and already her English is amazing. She has the cutest little accent! And of course that is Alison among the kids!

Jayde's first dance recital

Happy Birthday Cha-cha-cha!

This is a video...not sure if you will be able to view it.

More pictures from the party

This is the "Party Bear" laying down the rules. They are all looking at a couple of girls (his friends) sitting behind them that tried to crash the party.

Jayde's Birthday

Can you believe that Jayde is 6 years old?? We celebrated her birthday at Build a Bear in Ft. Wayne and they had a blast!! This picture is of everyone kissing a heart that goes into Jayde's bunny that she picked out. How cute!

Okay, so I was a little overwhelmed with the 5 children that I forgot to bring the cake in to the mall...so, Casey and Jayde had a little after party-party with Dirk, Drew and Dad. Don't worry...everyone took a cupcake home with them..they weren't going to get out of the car without one!
