Family weekend

April started out with lots of activity and family stuff. Here are pics:



Melissa's Sister Colette brought her grandson Evan down for a quick visit. So the little 18 month old cute guy in the frog pj's and then hanging out in the rest of the pics is "baby Evan" as the girls call him. This poor little guy is having to play with pretty much all girl stuff so we are sorry Noah for your son being in a whole bunch of pink stuff.

Family got together yesterday for a really good bbq prepared by Melissa's bro Mark who drove up from Austin with his family. So lets see when you look at the pics of the family (four of them so hopefully everyone is looking at the camera in at least one) --- back row, starting from left. Mat, Mark, Jonah, Jeremy, Sean, Melissa, Daniel. Next row... Beth (baby Zoe in her lap), Margie, Baby Evan, Colette, Grandma Patricia, Grandpa Gary, Lucy. Next row... Savannah, Madison, Jill, Hannah, Baby Cristina... last row in the laps and front row is Emma and Lily.

And that wraps it up, I am caught up and now I am gonna go take a nap :)

Takes a sick day to get a post done... sigh

Lots of activities in the family since I have posted anything of substance. Sorry for the lack of updates.

Let me try and get caught up!

Back in Feb we took a day trip to Austin to visit family and friends... So there are pics in the last post where there are just pictures of us spending time with Melissa's brother Mark and family. We went to his grandson's baby dedication service at their church and spend the afternoon with them. On the way home we had dinner with Bob, Teresa and Cari. We met them on our first trip to China when we brought Lily home. Lily and Cari were in the same orphanage and we always consider that they may be related. It was great to catch up and Lily had a blast hanging out with Cari. Usually Lily takes a little time to warm up but not this time! So the pics of the girls in purple hats on the last post is Lily and Cari.

Okay, that brings us to March.

Well, here are the pics and I will explain



We celebrated Melissa's Jan birthday in March by going to Olive Garden together, whole family seems to like the ol' Olive Garden still. I just want to eat authentic greek/med food but oh well, maybe for my birthday.

Jonah took some pics of the girls outside that came out really nice, they include the girls in the jeep, playing with flowers etc. During a trip back to Tally Lily and Emma got to spend some quality time with friends including but not limited to Manna, Lily, Adrianna, Hanna, Kristina. They went downtown, the park, museums and friends houses.

Back in TX a new kids place opened within walking distance called doogoland which is perfect for Lily/Emma age. lots of activities to do inside. Then I think we end March with picture of the girls having a tea party in their room.
