Happy 10th birthday to our precious Nadia! You are the most fun and we are so proud of all you do. You are such a great big sister and a wonderful helper to me. You love Jesus and learning more about the Bible. You love to read and play with Legos. You have such compassion and a desire to help others. You love taekwondo and have a dream of becoming a Grand Master when you are an adult. We love you!
Visit from the Hatchers
2007 and 2016.
The Hatcher’s were on our first adoption trip to China. They adopted their precious Jaida when we adopted Nadia. Amy and Jaida were coming to Texas for a girls weekend to see Magnolia Market. They stopped to see us on their way in and out of town. It was so wonderful to see them and the girls had such a fun time playing and catching up.

Thanks for coming to see us Amy and Jaida. It was a real blessing to catch up with you and see the girls together again.
Grammie’s Birthday 2016
Roger and Paula hosted a birthday party for Grammie over at their house. They made it a come and go event which made it a little easier on Grammie. I made the Nutella cake that Jessica Peterman makes and got us hooked on.

I love my Grammie so much!
Tahni’s Visit – September 2016
Many games of Uno were played. Tahni and I went to Yucatan Taco stand for nachos.
We were all so excited when Tahni told us she was coming to visit. She had been living in Belgium for the last year and we hadn’t seen her since June 2015. Our big plans were to hang out and eat a lot of Mexican food. We succeeded. Tahni also blessed me by taking our family photos as my birthday gift. They turned out amazing and I will do a separate post to feature some of my favorites.
Taco Tuesday fun included a stare down contest.
Teaching Tahni how to play Wig Out!
Tahni and Nadia being amazing.
We were so sad when it was time for Tahni to leave, but so happy that she spent time with us while back in America.
