Conor's Birthday surprise!

So we had a great surprise for Conor for his birthday this year.  It was really last minute planning on our part.  We went Friday and bought him a car and then on Saturday through him a surprise party with a few of his friends.  He had to go on a scavenger hunt to the last house and then followed a string to his new car!

Faith's first trip to the Aquarium on Veteren's day

Just a quick day trip to the coast to let Faith experience the Aquarium while we still have a season pass.  She loved it!

Hope's 1 year Gotcha day

Wow I cannot believe it's already been a year since we met Hope.  She was such a scared little girl when we first me her and now she is a strong willed big girl!  She has grown so much physically, mentally and emotionally in this year.  It took her about five months to warm up to her dad and men in general.  She is super smart and can name all the uppercase alphabet, colors and shapes.  We are working on numbers and lowercase letters now.  She started consistently using the toilet about two weeks before we went to China to get her sister and did awesome the whole time in China with it.  She's had a little regression now once home but not too bad.  She loves to sing and dance, copy her older siblings and read books.  She is learning now how to share with her little sister.  I can't wait to see what the next year brings!  We love you so much baby girl!

Chase founder's cup
