Thanks Aunt Beth!

As we said, we had a great time with Aunt Beth here! She took such wonderful care of Anna and made it as easy as it could be for Kitty to go back to work. Not only did Beth take great care of Anna, she took great care of Anna's parents as well. Made us dinners and stocked our freezer with food so John wouldn't starve once she left. We are so glad that she was abel to spend so much time with us while she was back in the states and she worked really hard with Anna to say Beth, we'll see if it worked:) This is Mommy, Anna and Aunt Beth on Aunt Beth's last night in Evansville...
Hmmm, maybe Aunt Beth taught Anna a few things while we weren't home...
Look at that stocked freezer!

Anna and Adrienne

Our friends Kendra and Nick had a little girl, Adrienne, 6 days after we had Anna. They live in Texas now, so this was the first time we got to meet Adrienne. We put the girls on the floor to play and they had a great time together, they were so cute! We can't wait to see them again soon! Mommy, Anna, Kendra and Adrienne
Daddy, Adrienne, Nick and Anna

We are behind on getting pictures on here, so we are trying to do some updating...more pictures to come and we will try to update more frequently. Things here are great. Anna is growing so fast and has such a little personality. She is a pro at rolling over from her tummy to her back, still working on back to front. She is starting to laugh every now and then which is hilarious. She loves playing on her mat and kicking her legs and grabbing things and she loves to stand up on your lap! She is going to be moving around before we know it! She had a great time with her Aunt Beth and we were all sad to see her go, although I'm sure Mike is happy to have her back in China. Anna loves her new babysitters, Barbara and Bernice (they switch off throughout the week) and they are taking really good care of her. We are so blessed to have found them! So there is a little update from Evansville and lots more pictures to come!
Grandma made me a ribbon for my hair for the Purdue games, doesn't it look cute!

Got to see Uncle Drew
