FUN at Frannie's

"Hey Danielle, come sit with the rest of us!"



We joined lots of friends at Frannie's house tonight. We finally got to meet FAITH who came home from China about a week before we left to get Alaina! What a cutie! As we looked at all 6 of our "China Girls", we were just amazed. Think about all 6 of these little girls just 2 years ago - wow, so much has changed! Pretty soon there will be another little girl in the group (Frannie's sister Gracie) and the only little man (Danielle's brother Michael)! And we didn't even know any of these families... From L to R: Alaina, Ally, Danielle, Frannie, Faith and Shelby. Thanks Ellen and Frannie for a great time! As usual, Sara was great fun for the little girls to have around - she must have run the little wagon around the front yard 20 times!

Lauren and Daddy stayed for a little while before having to leave for soccer. Lauren (who usually plays defense or goalie) actually scored a goal and they won their game. Daddy is asst coach with Amelia's dad, and Amelia scored too! They are excited about having a good team and being on the same team! Hopefully their dads don't get kicked out of the games. I told them that the only reason they wanted to coach is so they can yell at the girls! Only kidding a little!!!


It was nice to get outside in jeans and T's today after the last cold, rainy and snowy weekend. A and A went a little overboard with Lauren's help. Just wearing panites and rain boots they went running around the front yard while Lauren sprayed them with the hose (they were "helping" Daddy wash the car)! They ended up cold, but had a blast!
