Feeling old...

Yes, Scott and I had our 25th High School reunion this past weekend! Yikes! It also came in handy as a little family reunion, since we graduated with my sister-in-law, and she of course brought my brother with her. We had a smallish turn-out, but a great time was had by all! At the sign-in table, some "kid" who was at the bar where the reunion was held, decided to inform the people at the table that "he was born in 1984!". He was "politely" told to go away!!

Fourth of July fun!

We went to our annual neighborhood Fourth of July party! Lots of fun, food, and kids all over the place! As the first firework was set off, Ellie came screaming into my arms! I sat in the house with Katie, Ellie and a few other kids during the fireworks show. We watch a bit of Happy Feet! Oh well, maybe I'll get to see the show next year!

Katie's Doctor's appointment

We finally got around to Katie's 7 year check-up! She is now in the 5th percentile for height, and the 7th percentile for weight! She's our petite little girl!
She asked me the other day if I thought she would ever be tall like her friends. It seems like most of her friends are taller than most girls their age, and Katie is smaller, so the height difference really shows!

China Group Reunion in Philly!

We had our reunion with the families we traveled to China with when we adopted Katie. It's so great to see how well all of the girls (and one boy!) are doing! Even though they've all grown so much, you can still see the faces of those adorable babies we adopted 6 1/2 years ago! We did some sightseeing in Philadelphia for the weekend. We went to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the "Rocky steps" at the museum, of course. There is a statue of Rocky there, and we saw two wedding parties taking pictures with Rocky. Quite interesting! We had lunch in Chinatown, too! Katie took a special liking to two of the older brothers in the group. Her feet didn't hit the ground too often!
