Bad blogger!!!

OK, those of you who are still reading (is anyone??), I'm sorry about my irregularity in posting. As the weather starts to get cooler, I'm sure I will probably be posting more. We haven't been up to a whole lot, just playing and enjoying our time together. My parents had their 50th Wedding Anniversary and all of us kids threw them a party. Sara had a great time, of course and so did everyone else. Other than that, nothing too exciting has been happening and we are just fine with that.

Sara turned 22 months on 8/30. I just can't believe we have had her for 10 months and that she is going to be 2!!! She acts every bit of 2, though. Her vocabulary has exploded and she understands EVERYTHING you tell her. She is such a joy to be around (except for those tantrums). It makes me so happy that she is so happy!!! This kid really loves life! She says "what's that?" to everything and "I do". She doesn't want any help with anything. She is actually a big help around the house! She says "luv u" and then goes "AWWW" because I do that when she says it. We crack up every time.

Grandma and Grandpa's party!!

That's her cousin "Shishi" (Samantha). She LOVES her and will not leave her alone for a second! When they left my parent's house to go to their Hotel, Sara was crying hysterically.
The happy couple!They were there 50 yrs ago, too! Including Great Grandma of course!!!MMMMMMM!!! Cake!!!This shirt says it all (What's not to love?). My Grandma Macklis got this for me!!We had a picnic with my family over Labor Day weekend. Great Grandma just can't get enough of her!Sept 1 was a very sad day! Vietnam adoptions were suspended from the US. My heart goes out to all of those families who were waiting for referrals and I hope they can come up with an agreement soon that will provide homes for orphans in an ethical manner. I can't imagine life before or without our Sara in it!!!!
