Maryn visited the preschool pumpkin patch, chose her perfect pumpkin, rode on a hayride with mommy and shared some special snacks with her friends!

 These two Shenzhen cuties are in school together this year and they are simply precious! 

 And they have another sweet little friend who makes them both smile!

 These two.  Both so cherished and loved beyond measure.  

 Maryn LOVES ballet.  She is practically teaching her sisters everything they know!  

 Maryn's ballet class had a special class so they were able to wear their favorite dress-up and parents were invited to attend.  

 Meanwhile, our big girls are busy getting fit at school!  Fun Run Day arrived and my two big girls were beside themselves with excitement as they raced around the track with their friends!

 MK and Chloe.  Our Chongqing besties.  Friends for life.  So thankful for both of these sweet girls!

 One advantage to having sisters in school is that the little sister has rights to meet and greet the school mascot, Wolfie!  

 She may be bitty but she is super mighty!  This girl ran and ran until I finally convinced her to stop for a moment and dance!

 And this sweet baby - we are so glad to report that she continues to improve and heal!  This picture was taken on our "turnaround" day, the day that we began to see the light at the end of the tunnel for healing!

 Maddox has enjoyed meeting lots of new friends at school!  These girls are super sweet and love being together at school and at play!

 Big chairs make for great pictures!
