It's been a few weeks since my last update. We've been pretty busy the last few weeks. We had our friend's daughter's birthday party to go to. She was adopted about 6 months after Jenna and they are the same age. We cherish our friendship with the Hunter family. Caroline has been such a support to me over the years. The kids are so sweet, just like their parents. We love spending time with them.
We had a yardsale the weekend after Labor day. This was our first yard sale to raise money for Leah's adoption. We baked cookies and sold them for extra money. We got $200.00 in cookie sales and donations, the total yard sale help us raise $900.00. Jenna loved helping with the cookies. She sold over 50 cookies by herself. It's hard to say no to that little face, so she played that to her advantage! She loved telling everyone that her sister is waiting for her in China and that we are going to go get her next year.
My parents have decided to try and travel to China with us this time. We are excited about that. Jenna is thrilled to show her China to her nana and papa.
Jenna's dance class has started back up for the fall, she loves it. Her dance teacher has suggested we start her in compition dancing, so she will now be taking two classes a week. She is thrilled that she will be doing solo dancing, she loves to be the star. We are also going to be starting cheerleading and gymnastics, so Jenna is going to be a busy girl this winter.

Wo Ai Ni (I Love You) Mommy

Scott and I watched Wo Ai Ni Mommy last night on channel KET. It's about a 8 year old little girl adopted from China to a family here in the US. The little girl had a foster family she lived with in China. It is a very heart warming, but sad story of the struggles this one brave little girl and both her families went through. Us being big supporters of adoption, I think it's a must see for adoptive families. It makes you understand how much these little children actually go through when adopted. Fang Sui Yong (Faith) went through so much, your heart will be moved by her.
We saw so many of the same emotions and struggles with Jenna when we adopted her.  Scott and I were both crying within the first two minutes of this film. It was very neat to see many of the same places and sites
I highly recommend checking your local listings and watch this program.
