Happy Halloween from the big kids!!

Usually I am posting pictures of the kids but I couldn't resist posting our Halloween pictures. We were all dressed up and went out for the 1st time since WAY before we travelled to China. It was nice but I missed putting my lil' pumpkins to lala land!!

The Storm Troopers!!

The evil witch and her ghost pirate

Can you say ARRRR!!!! or should it be BOO? Not sure but I know Sophia would say "Daddy Scare"!!

Mr. M. Dracula

The Sweeney's

So you think you can dance!!!

Well this morning Miss Sophia was full of life. I was playing her China music and she just started to dance up a storm...she really is too cute!!!

Wasn't that a Party!!!

The "BEFORE" the party pictures, well before the sugar hit pictures!!!

Well Sophia has survived her second birthday, and third party to boot (she already had one at Grammie and Grampie's and at Nanny and Grampy's)!!! We had a great time and everyone dressed up for Halloween, carved pumpkins and made many arts and crafts! The kids had a blast...not to sure about the parents. Thanks to the Lee's and Ross' who made the day most enjoyable!

Did your mum put silly wings on you too???

The finished pumpkin, great job Jenna

Wow, I'm pooped but look at that cake...wow!!!

Sophia turns TWO!!!

Wow hard to believe our little pumpkin is already two years old today, October 10!!! She is doing so well and is almost trained for potty, well ALMOST means whenever she feels like it, lol, is talking up a storm and holds up two fingers and says two!!! She also decided to try fine cuisine for her birthday supper...a bite of Cuddles food (our cat, YUCK!!!) We have to keep our eyes on her 24/7, lol!! I will post birthday party photos once the celebration is finished!

Time to catch up!!!

Hard to believe that it's been a month since our last post. We have so much to report on. We were camping from July 18 to August 31 and spent just 2 days at home during that time. The girls love to camp and we were very lucky to have spent almost 2 weeks in Sussex and caught up with the Mahoney's and Allen's whom we travelled to China with as well as the Blanchard's and Murray's who also have adopted daughters from China and we met last year. The girls had so much fun, and mom and pops too!! A BIG thank you to Dianne, Joe and Meghan for hosting the Hawaiian soiree and to Sheila and XZ for all their visits, play dates and campfire memories. We miss all of you very, very much!!!

Sophia is doing very well and talking up a storm. She will receive her first needles tomorrow (yuck) and she also had her 1st check up. All is well and she weighed in at 231.8 lbs and is 31 inches tall, not too shabby if I do say so. She eats everything in sight and has had so many cuts and bruises, way too many to count. I think I will be at the hospital at least once a month with stitches and broken bones, lol!!!! She is such a little darling and she and Jenna are inseparable. Sophia mocks everyone all the time especially Jenna.

To Joe, Love Jenna!!!

Dear Joe,

Funny you should be requesting photos of me as mum and I were talking today all about how I was the little boss of you. I was wearing the t-shirt you gave me. I asked mum who was the BIG boss of Joe and she said quickly Dianne but then said hmmmm maybe it's Meaghan....And I said Yup it is Meaghan for sure!!! Enjoy the photos!

Love, Jenna
