Peyton's 11th Birthday

Peyton turned 11 on Nov. 30. He wanted to have a skating/slumber party. We had the party at Funtime Skateland and a few of the boys spent the night. I just can't believe that my first baby is 11. It went by way too fast.

Zoo

We celebrated my niece's 8th birthday at the Jackson Zoo. We has SO much fun. The boys

were harder to get photos of than the girls were.

Thanksgiving Feasts

Two Years Ago Today

Two years ago today we were in Hanoi, Vietnam meeting our newest daughter, Ava Rose (Nguyen Thi Ha). She had turned 8 months old two days before. We couldn't believe how tiny she was. Happy Gotcha day Ava! We love you so much!

State Fair

We took the kids to the state fair last week. I am NOT a fan of the fair but the kids like it. Ethan and Ava aren't big fans of rides. Peyton and Olivia did most of the riding.

Pumpkin Patch

The three little kids and I went to the pumpkin patch with our China group. It was cold and windy! This was Ava'a first trip to the patch. She wasn't interested in anything but picking her pumpkin.

Farmer Day

Olivia and Ethan had Farmer Day at school last week. They were both able to dress up like farmers. The PTSO had roasted corn for them to eat.

Lost Tooth

After many months of anticipation, Olivia has lost her first tooth! She has wiggled that tooth every day forever. She was so excited to finally lose it!
