A yoga lesson with Emily


Ally needed a kiss from Daddy after a big wave knocked her down.


One of many trips to the water with this bucket that Ally made.


Neither of their bottoms ever touch the ground - they are still both "squatters"!









Uncle Will found some "special shells" for all of the little kids --

Ally, Alaina, Zane, Madison, Drew

Reading "Brown Bear" with Mema



We returned from our yearly venture to Folly Beach, SC. We had 23 people this year and had a blast! The girls had so much fun in the water and sand! We did our little photo sessions and got some cute shots. Ally's favorite thing was to dig in the sand; Alaina loved the waves with Sara and Lauren!

Alaina lost another tooth.

2 years ago today, we left for China to meet Ally! 2 years... amazing.

Take a moment to jump to Darcy's blog - she is in Beijing and is planning to meet her little boy later today!

Welcome Home! Sounds like y'all had a great time - so very glad! I'm sure Alaina loved it. Popsicle asked today when she could see them again - I told her you were at the beach. She said, "I bet they're going "OHHHHH" when the waves come into their castle!" Um - post the pictures please, honey!!! :) Glad you're home and had fun!
