SARS Party

May 25th was 9 years since Monika became my daugther  We had a gathering at my house this past weekend.  It was a very hot day and we put out the slip and slide out.  We had to keep adding on it because they kept going off the slip and slide and into the grass.  This is the same group we get together with in Jan. at the waterpark.  When the kids were younger we saw more of each other, but now it is usually once or twice a year.  I do see some of them more often then that.  I am so grateful for this group.

They are from a different providence. Their parents travelled together and then meet the rest of us the 2nd week in China. Thomas and Becky over a year older then the Spicy girls at time of adoption.

Group picture with siblings.  Thomas famiy hadn't come yet and we didn't know they were coming.  We didn't get a picture with Thomas's siblings.

It was a very hot day and waterslide got it work out.

As you can see we have added onto the waterslide.  Some of the kids were sliding right off the slide into the grass.  Monika and Thomas's older sister watching.



Becky is the waterslide champ.  We added 2 tableclothes on two the existing 2 water slides and she still managed to slide right off and keep going in the grass.  She was on the slide the most and could really get a good run.

Emma and Erin watching the waterslide on the sideline.  Emma has been taking sign language class in school, the two of them enjoy each other company.

Michellle finally went on.  She didn't want to go on because water was cold

Monika is another waterslide champ
