Got nothing for you.....

Sorry people I got nothing for you....This was pretty much all we did this week.  Hayden is in LOVE with her new leotard that is "just like Addison's"  Didn't even realize that my daughter already recognizes what other people are wearing.  Addison(4) is the older sister of Matthew who was in the same foster home as Hayden.  Hayden thinks Addison hung the moon.  So when we put on the leotard this morning and she looked in the mirror she told me it was "just like Addison's"  Hmmmm???

Yes we wear ponies everyday now, I am trying to get her hair all one length and let's just say growing Hayden's bangs out are about as painful as what I remember growing mine out.  I have sternly told my hairdresser that if I ever come in and even beg her for bangs she is to REFUSE, and remind me that I will immediately regret the decision and move on to growing them out the following day.  So let's just say I can't wait for Hayden's bangs to grow so they are no longer bangs!!!

We are off to the country for a week.  We are going to stay at a friends log cabin.  They have chickens(get to get our fresh eggs each morning) goats, dogs, cats, minature horses, 4 wheelers, great food and awesome company.  Hayden is going to be in heaven with all of the animals(we may never get her off the mountain) But last time we were there we had no phone service, and no computer!!!  So this mommy is unplugging for a bit.  We will be back with lot's of pictures for you and I am sure Hayden will come back with enough mosquito bites for all of us.

I almost forgot.  Me along with 3 other mom's are starting the process of organizing our first annual Taiwan/China(and a few other Asian countries) Family Reunion.  Let me just say I am so incredibly excited at the mere thought of a resort filled with all of these kiddos that are now home with their families.  It will be great to see some of our friends from all over the country and to meet some new friends as well.  What we do know is that I will be the first host chairman, so we know it will be held here in the DFW area(central location from all coast, fairly predictable weather(haha) 2 large airports, with one being served by Southwest, and the resort we are looking at would not require people to rent a car if they didn't want to.  Plenty to do, places to eat and shop)  We will do it in 2011 so people have plenty of time to plan and save.  We will be polling groups soon about the date.  Please know we can't please everyone, and so that is why we are planning so far out so that it does give people an opportunity to save the date.  We hope to make this an annual affair, so if you can't come this year....we will hope to see you  next year.  So there will be more info to come very soon.  We are trying to iron out some details before we totally go public.  But just know that I think it will be an amazing weekend of FUN and friendship.  It is really something that I hope our children will really appreciate and look forward to year after year!!!  So we are going to need some volunteers, so if you are reading this and your immediate reaction is that you can't wait and what can I do to help??  Make sure and let me know, because we will be thrilled to have helpers.  The more help, the better this event will turn out. 

Before we leave we will be headed to DFW to welcome our newest US citizen and Hayden's new best friend Ruby!!  We are SO excited to see them return and hoping that right this minute they are having a lovely and quiet 18 hour flight home with a 3 year old in tow:)  We have been practicing "Welcome to America Ruby"

Okay we our outta here, have a great weekend and we will see you sometime next week.
