Hannah's Grandma took her and her cousin Ava to see the Wiggles concert yesterday. They had so much fun and they looked so cute in their Dorthy the Dinosaur costumes. Two of the girls favorite things..... Grandma and the Wiggles.....what more could you want?

Columbus Clippers baseball game

Last night we watched the Columbus Clippers take on Indiana. It was alot of fun watching the game. Hannah was really getting into the music. She was dancing and clapping when the Clippers were doing good. It was really funny! Noah and Abbey enjoyed cheering for the Clippers, too. I think they enjoyed all the snacks Mommy packed!

"Gotcha Day" anniversary

Happy 4th of July!

Here are some pictures of the kiddos at Jason's parents house a few weeks ago.They had so much fun playing with their cousins. They went to Bible school with them, and were in the pool most of the time. The other pictures are of the 4th of July. We went to a parade, celebrated Uncle Michael's birthday(Julie's sister's husband) and ended the night with fireworks. It was alot of fun!

AHH reunion

This weekend we were in Lexington KY for A Helping Hand's(Our adoption agency) annual reunion picnic. Unfortunately many of the families could not make it from our travel group, but we were very excited when we saw Brianna. She was one of Hannah's friends from China. Her family is from Michigan and they traveled to a northern area of China to get Brianna.(We went very very south to get Hannah) We were on the flight home with Doug,Terrie(her parents) and Brianna.(even stranded at Ohare airport with them!)It was very fun to see them and how their past year had been. Hannah and Brianna had a great time playing together. Noah and Abbey really enjoyed the picnic, too! We stayed with Todd and Korinne, our friends from Lexington, and had such a special time catching up! What a great weekend!

The Missing Tooth......

Fun at Grandpa & Grandpa's

We spent a few days at my dad and mom's house this week. We all had a great time. My grandma was in town from Wisconsin. It was so nice to visit with her. We also got to see aunts, uncles, and cousins that we don't get to see very often. What a special time! We also had another little birthday party for Hannah.

Hannah's "2 year old" pictures

HAPPY 2 YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY HANNAH!!!

On Saturday, we celebrated Hannah's birthday. She had a Wiggles party and Hannah knew that she was the queen of the day. She enjoyed EVERY part of her party. It was so fun to see her enjoying her special day. Thanks to the family for making the trip. Her actual birthday is on Tuesday and we are so thankful to God for her!

Summer Break...Here We Come!!

A few weeks ago Noah and Abbey had their final day of dance and soccer. It happen to fall on the same day, which made a crazy day for the parents. Noah had soccer tournaments all day and Jason was able to stay with him.(He was also the asst. coach) Abbey danced in her recital that afternoon and did a great job. Noah scored a goal in their last game! It was so nice to have the family all there supporting the kids. A few days after that, we got hit with a really bad "flu like" sickness. I can say now that we are all healthy, done with school for the year, and ready for the summer break! Yeah!

Weekend in KY

Last weekend we all headed to Natural Bridge, KY. It was a special time with Julie's side of the family. The kids had so much fun playing and fishing. It rained most of the day Saturday, so our activities were limited. We had a great time anyways!

Easter weekend

HAPPY EASTER!!!

More pics from the weekend

March 2007

The last few weeks we have been traveling. We had such a special time seeing family and friends. Some of the pictures are from our trip to Doylestown. Visiting the grandparents is always a treat for the kids. My friend, Erin, her husband, and their kids came over to see us. Noah and Abbey had a blast! The first picture is from our trip to PA. We went to a basketball game(Hannah loved it!) and a tea party.It was so much fun! The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins.

Snow Day/ Lunch with Ron

Here are a few pictures from a snow day we had a few weeks ago. The kids had a blast!(including the BIG kid) The other picture is from our lunch with Ron, Jason's brother. He is a truck driver and we do not get to see him often. He called the other day and said he'd be coming through Columbus and we were very excited that we could meet up with him. The last time we were able to take him out when he came through Columbus was 6 years ago when Abbey was still in my belly about a week before she was due. We were remembering that we were given a booth to eat at and I could hardly fit in it!
