Flashbacks

Celebrating my friend's 50th birthday party, it was a blast. The first pic is Dominic with a few of his friends, Gabrielle and Aunt Trudy, me and the birthday girl, Frank and me and me. We had an awesome time. It was a 50's-80's party. We danced all night long. I couldn't move the next day but is was well worth it. I felt like I was in my 20's again.

China Sisters (Pictures Added this time LOL)

Mary-Kim, Hope-Elizabeth, and Amelia-Grace. A few pics of Emily-Elizabeth and Vickie. At the picnic we have Karen's daughter, Gracie-Mei, Amelia-Grace and Emily-Elizabeth. Just hanging out at home and at the picnic in October.

America World Reunion and Wedding

We had a wonderful time in October at Amyn and Lineker's wedding in Virgina. Vicki, Hao, Mary Kim (adopted in 2005 with Hope) and Emily Elizabeth (adopted in 2009 with Amelia) came from New Jersey and stayed with us.

They are a wonderful family. We enjoyed remembering both trips to China that we took together and look forward to getting together again soon and returning to China in the future.

Hope and Mary-Kim saw each other for the first time since 2005. Whe we brought them home from China, they were only 1 year old and now they are 5. They had a wonderful time playing together.

We were able to see other friends also, the Huey's, the Marrone's and the Benton's. Even though it was freezing cold, it was great to see everyone.

October/November Happenings

Dominic went to the Homecoming Dance, Frank and Hope went to the Pumpkin Patch. We also celebrated Hunter's 14th birthday. Hope had her cheerleading competition of which I was one of the coaches. We won first place!!!!!! Go Waldorf Wildcats!

Amelia, a cheerleader in the making.

Happy October Birthday's to Frank and Amelia
