Homecoming Joy!!

This week's FFF's (Favorite Foto Friday) theme is U-pick!

And beyond a shadow of doubt,

my favorite picture of the MONTH is of our dear friends

FINALLY bringing home their little boy from China!

That's right - Austin and Logan's bff  Van and his family

(plus Awesome Aunt Christina!)

have been in China for the last

TWO WEEKS finalizing their adoption of Precious Little Zak.

As of midnight TONIGHT they are IN the AIR

and we are expecting touchdown and

one MORE Adorable US Citizen

by 1pm on Firday, 10/29/10!

We cannot wait to meet this little guy in person.

Congratulations TRACEY, SCOTT, VAN and ZAK!!

HAPPY HOMECOMING!!

Happy Birthday, Evan!!

Fall 2010!

"Slacker blogger!" you're saying!?!

Well, fine - I'll take the heat!

for we have NOT been slackin' in real life!

Here's a brief run down of what we've been doing these last 2 weeks:

Latin festival:

This dance troup was awesome!

They saw us taking pictures of the boys and offered to pose for us - 

  - And then my camera died. ;-(

But look at the LITTLE ones!   and the little costumes!

Wish I had better pictures, but oh well!

Then, Evan came home from college!

 Twice!

Guess who mised him lots!

Well, we ALL did, but his little brothers were definitely happy to have him (and Amanda) home!

And Mason and Lory have been around for some fun!

There was also the German festival.

Austin and Logan TOUR UP the Chicken Dance!

And Nonnie took us apple picking!

And of course, we've had lots more of this: 

Both of soccer and of Van, but not near enough of Van!

(who leaves THIS Friday to go pick-up his baby brother Zak, in China!)

Isn't it nice, when your posse can fill an entire sideline!

I'm going to try and hit a few of the adventures mentioned here in their own post,

but don't hold your breathe for that one

as we've still got some busy weeks ahead of us!

Happy FALL!



Soccer Saturdays!



With three Soccer Saturdays behind us now, I felt like it was time for a Soccer Post!

The separate team thing - working out brilliantly
...for them! 
(For us, it's a bit of a challenge - but all in all sooo worth it!)
;-)

Remember:
 Logan - BLUE.
Austin - ORANGE!

It's HOT out there!!

 The Soccer Posse!

Logan playing side-ball with his Uncle Mitch!

Logan (in the middle) had just kicked that ball away from the green team!

Go Logan! 

;-)

Before Austin's game, he and Logan had some time to play by themselves!

Although, the official word is that they won't have to square off against each other....

...this season.

They laughed the whole time!

All the kids do - even in the games! 

It's soooooo adorable!

And heartwarming!

Although either twin gets mad 

(when sitting on the sidelines with us)

if Nonnie or I clap for the opposing team.

They tell us we're not  supposed to!

;-) 

I love this picture!

for many reasons...

First off, for some reason - they look like they just got caught doing something!

Which is a look I'm very familiar with!

I also love that's it shows both of them in their cute little uniforms! 

And lastly, it's very rare for me to see the similarities in my children.

I still answer, "I don't know if they're identical..."

Cuz we don't know.

And for the most part, they don't look very alike to me.

However, in this picutre - I "see" it!

Where they look very alike.

I think it's cute!

FFF or WWF?

 Practicing their moves for the...

WWF - World Wrestling Federation

 Pause for a mini-burlesgue showtune!

And then give Mommy her FFF - Favorite Foto Friday!

(Austin's in the sharks, Logan's is the surfboards!)
