Jenna writes her first song!!

Jenna LOVES to sing and perform. She is always making up songs and this is one that I captured on video during her Chinese New Year's concert....Enjoy!!

Happy Chinese New Year!!

We celebrated a little early this year and went out for supper with the Lee's to the local Chinese restaurant, Canton Palace. The owner, Simon was very generous and gave the four kids red envelopes with, as Jenna put it, large paper money in them, WOW mummy!!! We then came back to our house for what else...dessert, yum, yum. Today the girls went upstairs and Jenna decided they needed to celebrate a little more so she dressed them both up again and they came down and put on a concert....PRICELESS!! I have posted a couple of pictures and a short video clip from their "concert".

Christmas Photos!!

I never thought it would take this long to post Christmas but here it is....better late than never!!! The gils enjoyed Santa. He brought them a Jeep, JJ received a Leapster 2 handheld game and SS loves her Little People Town!! It took 3 days for JJ to put down the game and now just asks for it on the weekends, whew, I was worried Santa made a REALLY big mistake!! lol

A new Jeep for Christmas!!! (she didn't see the game yet, lol)

Dad and the girls!! (and the game)

WOW!!! I'm getting the hang of this unwrapping thing!!!

SS can you drive while I play (the game)? Hey can you even reach the peddles????

Hmm, I can't reach....maybe Brandi can drive while I put on my makeup!!!

JJ Ice Fishing with Dad, aren't they cute!!!

Sisterly love!! Blankie, a couch and TV what more could they need...( Mom need that is) Dad was working a four 12 hour day stretch, lol!!

Watch me mum!!! I am Evil Kenevil!!!

As Miss S is famous for saying "all done" translated that means enough pictures already!!!

One year today!!!

Wow it is hard to imagine that one year ago today we were running around with our daughters re feral picture!! Her new "birth" day I guess. We should have guessed from the start that she would be a firecracker as even the referral was not straight forward!!! lol Easy to laugh now but it was not so funny then I guess. Si He has certainly kept us on our toes and we wouldn't want it any other way!! It's been just 10 months that we first held her but it feels like a lifetime ago...strange how that works. She is just the sweetest little pumpkin there ever was, well she and JJ that is *grin* I am doubly blessed these days!! And every day I thank God for the miracle of my two children that I never thought I would have....Ain't life grand!

Hard to believe they are the same girl!
