Swim Team & Dragon Boat Races

O was on the swimteam at our club this summer-first time! She did great! Last week was the final party where they got all their trophies and medals. Good food, good music, good friends, good times!
Oh, and did i mention all the big kids LOVE K!!! Here's a pic of the boy (star swimmer!) down our street who loves playing w/ K.
O-our star swimmer!!

Dancing with the girls!
Another girl who loves to take care of K!

The Dragon Boat Races were this weekend in Chinatown, so the kids and I drove down and enjoyed a warm summer day w/ friends! Many there were others that had adopted from Taiwan-we met up as a group-it was so great to finally meet some people I've seen on blogs for so long! Lisa C.! Sarah & Kevin! I only wished i took more pictures of everyone!
We also met up with the Western Suburbs Playgroup which Kerry M. led w/ crafts and stories for the kids! Thank you Kerry-it was wonderful!





K was dancing to the music up on a rock!

Nicole,

It was so wonderful to meet you and your 3 beautiful kiddos this past Saturday too!! I'm still excited just thinking about it AND only wish our time had not gone so quickly! I think our girls would have enjoyed some time together also, so hopefully next time! :)

Your pics. turned out great....I wish we had taken more but am grateful for the few shots we got!

And yay for O on her swimming accomplishment; that's big stuff and I know y'all must be so proud!!
