1st Reunion with Our Friends

This weekend, we had our first reunion with the four other families that we traveled to China with in October. It was an awesome weekend in St. Louis filled with laughter, fun, and fellowship! We truly enjoyed sharing our time with our "family"!

We went to the arch, the Magic House, Union Station, and the Zoo!

Enjoy a few pictures!

Update on Big Brother

Mom called USCIS yesterday because she wants to go get Jaxon and we are still waiting. We found out that our fingerprint appointments are on the way, and we hope to get my big brother home by Christmas.

More Birthday Pics

My Third Birthday!

Mom and dad kept talking about a party. They said... everyone is coming! I was excited but did not know exactly what a birthday was. Then, we ate. We played. . .

Then, everyone went to the garage. Mom put some candles in one of my cookies and everyone started singing. Oh my... they are singing to me. All of these people are here for me! WOW! And, they brought presents! How cool!

Great Grandma Evelyn even brought me what is called a pinata. It was FULL of candy!

Indianapolis Children's Museum

We met the majority of the Janssen clan at Indianapolis for a fun trip to the museum. We saw dinosaurs, Dora and Diego, an Egypt exhibit, Barbie, and more!

We ended our trip with a visit with Aunt Farrah for supper!

Easter... Candy! YAY!

On Saturday, my Grandma Sharon and Papa Jerry came over. We had what they called an Easter Egg hunt. It was crazy. There were eggs all over the house.

On Sunday, we went to church with Gamma Carol and Paga Bob, then had lunch with many from the Darr/Janssen/Wright family.

More pics from Florida

I saw Mickey Mouse

Yes, I know... I am behind!

We went to visit Mickey and Minnie Mouse! I had my Papa, Grandma Sharon, Gamma Carol, Paga, and Mom and Dad all to myself! It was wonderful! I learned to "Schim", played outside a lot, and saw two parades!

Come on March

In March, I get to go to Florida. I am going to be able to visit with both sets of my grandparents. I don't get to see any of them often enough. I am counting down the days to be able to hang and play with all of them + mom and dad too! Oh, yea. Don't forget Mickey.

I love spending time with my grandparents, and am counting the days to vacation!

My toy box

Grandpa Mayhall made me a toy box. It is so awesome, I can put all my toys in it so I can find them. I can also sit on it and act like a cheese.

Meeting Gayla

Audrie got to meet Gayla today. She has no idea what this means, but Gayla is a wonderful woman that helped bring us together. She will hold a special place in my heart forever.

Christmas...

It has been awhile since an update. I have been busy, so back off:-) Christmas with our daughter was amazing! She is just more perfect than I ever could have imagined. I dreamt of how motherhood would be, but God has proved it is even more than I "planned".

We enjoyed time with extended family and well...just with our family. Audrie got enough toys for us to adopt 15 more kids and everyone would have plenty to play with.

My first day at school...

Mommy had a rough day today. She did not want to leave me. She cried a bunch, I guess. All I know is I woke up soaked and it wasn't from my pee. When mom picked me up, she squeezed me sooo hard. I just couldn't breathe. It was a crazy day. I met so many friends. School is cool. My classroom is called the Purple Ponies. Purple is one of my favorite colors, and I love ponies. Life is good.
