Yes - I know it’s been a LLLLOOOONNNGGGG time since you all have heard from me. There have been soo many times I had such good intentions of posting - but either I never got to it or life got in the way. Let me see if I can do a quick summary of the past year.
Kaili has grown by leaps and bounds. Last August she started Jr. K and after the first day she had her backpack packed and ready to go to Kindergarten!!! Well that time has finally come. She will start in less than 3 weeks! WOW - where has the time gone??? It seems like just yesterday we were getting home from China and settling in - however, that was 4 years ago - again - really hard to believe. She has had a VERY successful year in Jr. K - even teaching me a little - like Pluto being a celestial body. I just hope she doesn’t get bored in Kindergarten. Not only does she look forward to starting Kindergarten, and riding to school with Mommy, but she will also start gymnastics just a week and a half after school starts. So, this fall looks like it will be a busy one for us - with some many new things for us.
Jeremy adn Rose moved back to the area last fall. Its been great having both grandsons closer. Yes, I said grandsonS. Mikah got a little brother last September. So, we have really enjoyed have both Mikah and Ethan closer. Not to mention Aunt KK has enjoyed having a play buddy.
As for Garrett, he is still in the area and doing well. He continues to enjoy cooking and running the kitchen of a local restaurant. He, too, had an exciting event over the past winter. He became engaged to a lovely young lady. As of right now, he and Amanda have set a wedding date in May 2011. We look forward to all the excitement that goes with planning that event!!!
That is a pretty quick summary of the past year. I will do my best to do better as we begin a new chapter in Kaili’s life. I will get some pictures posted soon - promise!!!!! However, a little someone is wanting some computer time, so I must go and set an example of sharing!!

About a week and half ago, Kaili and I went for some haircuts. Kaili wanted her hair short - pointing about chin-level. Needless to say, we weren't quite ready for that drastic of a haircut, nor were we sure she fully understood that once it was cut - there was no glueing it or taping it (her two favorite hobbies) back. So, we went with getting about 5 inches cut off. In the end - everyone was happy. But now she looks even older - not sure I like that too much!!!
The end of June we took our much needed, long anticipated vacation to Myrtle Beach. This year we got to take Nanny and Pawpaw's motor home. As you can see - Kaili absolutely loved that trip. She amazed us with really coming out of her shell during the week. One night she sang karaoke at the pool - in front of at least 100 people. Of course, I'm sure a lot of those that stopped to listen were amazed to hear a four year-old sing Kid Rock's All Summer Long word for word. If I can ever figure out how to download it - I will post it.
Thank you Nanny and Pawpaw for letting us borrow the RV - we had a blast!!

Mikah brought his parents in to visit a few weeks ago. While they were here, he and Kaili enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt at our church. They had a blast. To see more pictures from their time here, you can visit their blog - Rose captured some really good moments.
