Really, I do!!! And Garrett LOVED his first time at the beach! We had a great time with our friends, Niels and Sherry, too. They are so kind to let us all stay with them for long weekends. It gives us a chance to relax and enjoy ourselves. Fishing, crabbing, eating, and relaxing at their beautiful home in North Carolina. The beach is just awesome! 
Beginning the game...
What a ham! (and a GREAT FATHER!)
Daddy LOSES to Gracie! He is NOT a princess anymore.
Doing the "Fancy Pants Dance" and basking in her glory!
Look at the JOY!
Gracie and I wanted to something special for our friends, Grace and Delores, so we organized a Mother's Day Tea Party for them the Friday before Mother's Day. The children dressed up in their fanciest dress up clothes. We also wanted to honor Grace's, and Gracie's and Garrett's birthmothers and foster mother in China at the same time. This was a great occasion for all of us. The children planted flowers in pots to remind them that they started their lives in China with their birthmothers and foster mother. But we are their mothers here on Earth that are here to love them and help them as they grow up. They wore a corsage too. We even said a prayer and lit some candles. It was a wonderful day, and one we will not forget. 
I picked these cars up recently at a yard sale, and the kids love driving them around the house and outside. Here they are in their new cars. Christopher and Nick were hanging out with us that day. They are in one of the pictures too.
