About Me

- Mark and I have been married almost 11 years and have 2 daughters, Olivia & Brooke. Mark works for Anheuser-Busch and I've been a stay-at-home mom since Olivia was born, in 2004. We adopted Brooke in 2009 and are going back to China one more time for daughter #3 - Gwen!
YEAH you made it! NO quarantines or anything-YEAH! Call if you need anything :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! Olivia looks like she's having a blast. I'm so glad everything is going well for you.

Glad you made it there safely! Hope you see lots of stuff & get tons of pictures. This will be such a cool trip for Olivia & hopefully she's old enought to remember most of it. Can't wait to see Brooke. Love the pictures you've posted so far. Briana & I are looking forward to seeing more. Keep posting!
