Grandpa Schmidt's birthday

Larry turned 74? Barry thinks that is right. Barry was out of town, but we had him over for the boys to do music for him and Anna danced little.

Anna had a wonderful 2nd grade year. She did beautifully and had the same teacher Brandon had in 2nd grade. Mrs. Perry is so sweet and kind and loves her students. She appreciated Anna's creative spirit and just let her roll with it.

Logan

Logan had a big solo in the show choir this year. He was amazing. So proud. He is also in a band now and is the singer in it...All Red Lights. He loves it

More recital

Pond

Each Spring it becomes time for my parents' pond to get really pretty again and time to fish! Here are a couple pics of the fishing and one of me and my sweetie.

My dad

My dad went to Anna's school in the spring and taught a couple hours of science. He still does a great job!

Logan turns 16!

Tonya (Tilton) Bowrey met on April 17 to take the boys to get their drivers licenses. Tonya and I were such good friend in high school and then had Logan and Ted on the same day!!

Chicago trip

I took the kids on a trip by train to Chicago. We had the best time. We stayed in a hotel, met Kyle (cousin) and Tania for dinner, went to Navy Pier, Shedd Aquarium, etc. Such a fun couple of days.

Brandon turned 13

Brandon turned 13 this year. We celebrated by eating at FUJI and he bought a Samsung tablet with his birthday money.

Brandon's braces

Brandon got braces in Oct 2011. He will wear them about 18 months!

Recital

Anna had her first recital on Barry's birthday! Hope these pics are ok. Took them on my phone. She was adorable and danced her little heart out.

Been too long!

I know I have not posted in a really long time, but now I will try to post current stuff and also go back in time!
Carly and Anna got their ears pierced yesterday in Bloomington.

Guiping Girls Reunion

We recently had our annual Guiping Girls Reunion for the 10 families that traveled to China in April 2005. The girls were 14 months at adoption and they are all 7.5 now. Only 9 families made it this year. The girls had a blast, as usual.
