Our son knows!
A while back we sent our son in China this family photo:
We also sent a little photo album with more pictures, but first I sent just this one. Sunday we found out he got it, and he knows he is being adopted soon! Here he is looking at our picture:

Dreary spring break
It was a very dreary spring break. It rained almost the whole week, and both girls had a cold. Finally we got some good weather on Friday so we went to the zoo.
 |
| Abby & cousin Gavin |
 |
| Ellie & Daddy |
 |
| Ellie wasn't pleased |
Today the girls just HAD to play in a mud puddle. They had a blast for a good 30 minutes. Abby asked me if she could put on her swimsuit, ha! I said no. Might have been better than getting her clothes soaking wet & muddy, but oh well! :)
