Wren liked the ballet dancing.


Gettin' into the groove.

Meet Me in St. Louis


Abby, Wren, Kaitlin, and Grace

This past weekend in St. Louis we met up with some of the families with whom we traveled to China. It was the second reunion but we missed last year because we were in Italy. Only four families were able to make it this year but we still had a great time! It was fun to see how the girls had changed since we last saw them in China in November 2006. Jason and I feel that it is important for Wren to have this connection with the other girls with whom she shared the start of her adoption journey and American life so we hope to be able to do it every year.


Hi Friend! Wren and Abby

Grace's dog Bear was a big hit with the girls. Look how patient he is! He is a WONDERFUL boy!

Good bye! See you next year!

And now for some video...

Another Concert in the Park

Wren really loves these concerts in our local park. The first half of the season we had wonderful, mild, low-humidity weather - totally unlike an Alabama summer - and so the concerts have been very enjoyable! Wren loves to play in front of the stage with the other kids and imitate the big girls.


Here's Wren trying out some gymnastic moves.


Wren was feeling the love for her daddy on this Monday night!


Ahhhh....let me kiss you one more time!


Your'e the best daddy!

Beach Days

Isle of Palms, SC
July 6 - July 13, 2008

We had a great time at the beach this year. But really, who DOESN'T have a great time at the beach?!


Hello!


Wren had a good time playing in the sand...


...with her cousins...


...and building sandcastles.


Daddy is a great sandcastle builder!


Emilee, Wren and Ryan


Wren LOVES watermelon!


Listening to the ocean.


Is a caption necesary? Yes, you say? Well, this was Wren's creation.


My cousin Beckie and her husband James spotted these cranes nesting for the evening. What a sight - and they made a lot of noise too!

Wren learned how to swim!
