About Me
- Heidi
- 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!
Great pictures. Can't wait until you get home & we can talk. Ke Xin is adorable! Glad she's adapting so well, and that she & Olivia are getting so attatched.
