• Hi There!

    Hi, my name is Jonni and I am Mommy to Sofia (5 years old) and Samantha (6 years old) and wife to John. We reside in upstate NY. Our daughters are 5 mos. apart in age and a whole lot of fun. Sofia is from Jinchang City, Gansu and she turned 11 mos. during our trip to bring her home from China in 2007. Samantha is 5 mos. older but was our 2nd adoption. She was 3 years, 4 mos. when we brought her home from China in 2009. She is from Yangzhou City, Jiangsu.

    I love blogging about our girls, photography, fonts, printables & crafts and I also have a slightly obsessive John Mayer addiction. Thank you for stopping by. :)

A New Look

Finally…a new look. If I wasn’t so tired, I would do a “real” blog post (lol). I will try to get the holiday photos posted tomorrow.

Grandma Monica - Started to worry, but at ease now that I’ve heard her surgery went well. She’s a Lil Trooper. It’s such a relief when they are no longer terrified of Santa. We’ve had so much fun with Lil Orchid this year. Can’t wait to see some super photos, don’t make me wait too long. Everyone makes comments on the Christmas card you sent with her photo. Yep, that’s our beautiful little friend who lives on the east coast. ;)
