Last night was our FCC Chinese New Year celebration. We drove about 2 hours away for it and it was so worth it. It was so much fun to see all of these precious children from China playing and having such a great time. They are all so beautiful and such a blessing!

Bryce was our dragon for the dragon dance. He wasn't really expecting this but did a great job "winging it". Look at Cade peeking out from behind ;)

Wesleigh LOVED these ducks. At one point, I thought she was going to climb completely into this pool! She got her sleeves so wet I had to take her turtleneck off.

What a beautiful lavender little girl! However, my favorite photo is the dragon with Miss W's two magnificent, accomodating brothers!! What they won't do for her, and oh the experiences they are having because of her! Keep enjoying EVERY moment of this journey. We're riding with yall. Lovingly, Lauren McGowan

I am so grateful to have found your precious blog, thank you for sharing your story with us in bloggerland, my heart is so touched and moved by your sweet family.

Ha ha! I have that purple tunic sweater and trust me, nobody thinks you look preggs! I did get a chuckle out of it,though! P.S. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm very frusterated with the sloooooow processing times for I800-A. Just a friendly heads up. :)

Lindy said...

What a fun gathering. Wesleigh looks adorable, as always. I love how affectionate she has become, putting her little hand on her friend's wrist and snuggling up to Cade. Looks like some rubber duckies are in order for her Easter basket.

Debbie said...

Well you don't look pregnant, but in a way you are!! Paper pregnant!! Her outfit is ADORABLE!!!

If I tried to find your blog, I would have never found you. I'm Patricia and my daughter was Emma...I see her and my husband in a few of your pictures. That was a great night. I was the one taking pictures too. It was so nice to meet you and so glad to find your blog.
