Adoption Awareness Documentary Short

There are several Colombian adoptive families in this video that I recognize and around the 51 second mark you will see my favorite people in the whole wide world. Happy National Adoption Month!!

Kindergarten Pics

These are some pictures that Angelica's teacher sent us from her Kindergarten class. Angelica is doing so much better than we expected and is making HUGE progress. She can now write the letter A, can count to 10 consistently, and most important, she is making lots of new friends! We are so proud of her.

First Day of School

Angelica's first day of kindergarten and Brian's first day of the 4th grade.

Tournament Champs

Congratulations to Brian's team on winning the River City Rumble baseball tournament. They were so excited. Angelica thinks she is a Bulldog..sitting in the dugout, joining in on the championship pic. Brian is #5 (just like Albert Pujols). Way to go BULLDOGS!!

Go Cardinals

These are pics from the Central Elementary School day at the St Louis Cardinals game. The Cards came back to win in the 10th inning thanks to a hit with the bases loaded by Felipe Lopez! The kids had a blast and Angelica got to meet Fredbird!

Brian's 9th Birthday Celebration

Brian turned 9 (still can't believe it) on May 25th. We celebrated with a visit to Nascar Speedway but the go cart track was under repair, so then we went bowling and out for pizza. It was such a fun day! Brian is growing WAY TO FAST!! Happy Birthday...we love you.

Happy Belated Birthday

Angelica turned 5 on Feb. 16 (this post is late because our camera had been misplaced). We celebrated with a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. She had so much fun and we got the party in just before the snowstorm hit. I can't believe she's 5. Happy Birthday my sweet girl...we love you bunches.
