Love you Hannah, my Jiangxi sister!

We are very lucky that Daleea and her family and Debbie and her family came to visit us at the beach.  We had a great time catching up with our friends. Thank you guys for coming to see us again:) I captured the funniest video of Daleea, Kate and Hannah singing.  I just need to figure out how to upload it to my M*c.

  1. Oh, these are stunning!!! What a difference a year makes. Kate looks so beautiful in her little pink swimsuit. I love all the daddy and Kate pictures. Making memories is what it is all about.

    Enjoy!

  19. I love your beach pictures! Kate is such a doll! I can't believe how much she has grown up in just a short year. I love the picture of Kate and her Daddy...too cute! :)

  20. Great beach photos! All of the kids are beautiful!!!

    I cannot believe how much older Kate looks all of a sudden...and soooo tall, too! Wow, they are growing up fast. She really looks like a big kid now. Emma and Kate are losing their "baby" looks and are really sprouting up. When I call Emma "my baby", she now tells me that she's a big girl. Sweet, but kind of bittersweet! Thanks for sharing.

    I can't believe in the midst of moving you fit in a beach weekend. Good for you!!! When do you actually move?

  35. I LOVE the picture of IAN!!!! You must send it to me :D I am still going through all of mine and scrapping a few here and there. We had such a good time and I am so glad the we got this time together! It means so much to me.

    BTW - that thing that Dan had to "do" yesterday went very, very well. He has to "do" another one tomorrow!!! We are excited but our bubble has been burst to many times to get to excited.
    Give our Love to Dave and the kids and if Will has an e-mail - Ian would love to e-mail him. I can't believe how well they hit it off this year!

    Ladybug hugs,
    ;D
