Florida

Well, we are in Florida at this time, enduring T.S. Fay. We are in Orlando (glad we're not at the beach), but it is still pretty strong - rain and wind. We are safe at the time in our resort, but we will need to leave tomorrow to go to the next hotel that we've reserved at WDW. It is suppose to continue with rain and wind tomorrow, but hopefully it will be much better. We are suppose to do a breakfast at Sea World with Elmo. Sarah is so excited. I'm not sure how much rain has fallen here, but the weather folks are calling for 3-10 inches. It appears by the radar that the heavier stuff is still to come. We were able to enjoy the pool yesterday, but no pictures yet. I had planned on doing them tomorrow through Friday when we visit Sea World and Disney for a day. Just keep prayers going for safety during the storm.

The School Schedule Starts

K started her two weeks marching band camp last week. According to K, the band is small as she started out as one of the two flute players, but another one arrived this week. She did mention that she switched to the piccolo today. So the band now has three pic players marching instead of flutes. She has already made some friends in the band and has a couple of boys trying to get her attention. I guess we will be in for some very interesting times. I can't believe that school will be starting in about a week and 1/2. No photos this time, but hopefully when the band starts marching at the games, I'll be snapping away. She is also scheduled to march in the Apple Festival parade on Labor Day. I'm sure SJ will like watching the parade this year.

A Reunion

Our adoption agency had a reunion and SJ loves to play with the brother of AG (a Xiushan sister) Adam. We had several of the girls play ring-around-the-rosie along with Hayne (AG's other brother).

A Visit with a Sister

Back on July 19th, SJ and I visited with another one of SJ's SWI sisters - Addie. She & her mom were here visiting other friends in the area. This was the first time that we saw them since they left China right after the swearing in ceremony. I could not believe how much Addie has grown and changed. The girls loved the swings and the sand box.
