Hannah and her China girlfriends at the Hannah Montana concert movie this winter.
We gave the girls cute tee shirts for Valentines Day (Hannah Montana, Curious George and Tinkerbell).
Rachel's favorite thing to do on a rainy day (or any day, for that matter). Around the holidays, her reading skills really took off, and she reads all the time now! But we knew from the time Ray-Ray was a toddler that she'd be a reader. Instead of filling her crib with stuffed animals like other children, she'd fill it with books to look at before falling asleep. Sometimes there would be no room for Rachel! And she would often follow us around with a stack of books, pleading with us, "Peese wead! Peese wead!"
The girls and I got pretty crafty this winter. Rachel and Abbie made all their Valentines for their classmates - sponge painted hearts sprinkled with glitter. We had quite an assembly line going to make nearly 40 cards!
Hannah used hearts cut from card stock to turn Tootsie Pops into flowers for her classmates.
I made these treats for Rachel's group's Gotcha Day party. They're rice krispie treats cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter. I used icing in a tube to write the Chinese character for "love" on each one (no small feat!).
We celebrated three Gotcha Days over the last six months...
First, three years with Abbie in November...
First, three years with Abbie in November...
Then, five years with Rachel in February.

Then... (that's Rachel, second from left) ...and now!
The cake we served at Rachel's group's party!
Hannah's red couch photo eight years ago... and this April!
And our annual family photo!
Uploading all these photos is taking forever! I'll post more later this weekend! Stay tuned...
