Ladoga 8 and Under League Champs

Reese's team, coached by Jerry, are the champs this year! The boys were so excited. They were jumping and hollering. Very cute! They only lost one game all season. Congrats boys! I'll post pictures later!

2 years today

Two years today, Tara, our social worker, called during KungFu Panda to tell us that ShenMingYing was going to be our daughter and sister! I can't begin to tell you how excited we were and still are. She has definitely come a long way since then. She is absolutely amazing and shows love every day. She enjoys coloring, using my iPod, reading, and doing puzzles. I can't believe how quickly she can put together a puzzle! :) I know we are definitely biased, but she is so darn cute and smart! Like her mother (used to be about 20 pounds ago), she loves to have her picture taken. She can be quite the ham!

This weekend, we are traveling to Milwaukee to have a travel group reunion! We are excited to see how much the kids have changed. We will be going to a Brewers game (Rain stay away!) and just hanging out by pools. It should be a wonderful trip!

SUMMER

Summer is finally here. We've had one week of wonderful weather (although some rain) and no work! It is wonderful not having to get up before 9! The kids have finally begun to sleep in some. I was actually the first one up today. We would love to get a few windows replaced in the house. That is our only big remodel plan for the summer. We've enjoyed the pool, so hopefully the warm weather will stay. We have 2 vacations planned. We are going to Milwaukee to meet up with friends we met in China. We are very excited. Then we are hoping to go to Michigan and stay in a "cabin" on Lake Huron. I'll post a few pictures and perhaps more later. I'm trying to figure out my new iPod for school and finish up a class for my license renewal! Happy Summer
