We have had so much going on recently. Our cousins we here recently from South Carolina. They also have two little "china dolls" and the foursome had lots of fun playing. Their oldest daughter Catie is the little girl who Bob and I fell in love with initially in our adoption process. She is such a beautiful little girl. She is the one who got this whole thing started. Thanks again to the Ellisons. They recently went back to China for their second daughter also. Their youngest daughter and our youngest are one month apart. They are also from the same Jiangxi province. We also went to Aleia's preschool for a pumpkin day. We had so much fun reading books as a group, making our own books, and decorating our own pumpkins. All of the children really seemed to have a ball. And finally, our annual trip to the pumpkin patch with our friends. We did this yesterday and there were about thirty-four of us all together. We went on a hayride, picked out pumpkins in the field, took lots of group photos, and had a big lunch and lots of playtime. This is the third year in a row that we have done this at my parents house. It seems to get bigger and better with each passing year. Most of the kids crashed in the cars on the way home. Enjoy. Lisa
