Have you been over to the Blogger in Draft site? They are creating some very cool gadgets for blogs. One of these includes a Follower Gadget, which will display the profile pics of the people who stalk read your blog. Unfortunately, they are rolling it out slowly, and not everyone has that option available yet…
I have really fallen behind in posting photos. Here are photos from the two trips we took to the Great New York State Fair over the past week. Grandma & Grandpa S. came with us the first time. We had a great time on both visits. Sofia loved the jalopy cars ride and carousel. She…
wow!!! what great pics!!!! love the ferris wheel and swings and giraffe pics!! that one at the end with her wiped out–is priceless!
Looks like you guys had a great time! We need to plan a trip to upstate NY so we can finally meet the little princess.
Looks like a ton of fun and Sofia was just so tuckered out from the excitement eh? 
great pics!! The giraffe one cracked me up! Sofia’s face in that shot is just too cute.

Love them , all of them, couldn’t pick a fave!! Love the giraffe pics and the merry-go-round(her smile is gorgeous).
I think the one of Sofia with her blanket melted my heart, my Jilly does the same. 
Love them all! Especially the ones of her on the pony! Li Li told me yesterday that she wants to ride a pony too! Dh and I just looked at each other and kinda had that “we’ll believe it when we see it look” 
I am so glad that she did!
BTW – Can you call me? I really want to pick your brain on some of the html stuff
Ladybug hugs,
;D
We would have met you there…
Wow! Great shots! Looks like you guys had so much fun! The pic of Sofia and the giraffe is priceless!
Actually I have two Mother-In-Laws and they both rock but the one I am talking about now is Grandma Mea, John’s stepmom. I was trying to get some info. for Sofia’s readoption here in NY and I called an attorney who gave us a quote and told us what would be required. My Mother-In-Law then…
I can smell the food now!! mmmmm….
You are very lucky that your MIL is going to handle that. We are starting the process for Tiana too espcially since Terry didn’t go with me to China!

How has a year already passed since we went to China to get our daughter? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was looking into her beautiful eyes for the first time. I still vividly remember every detail of those first moments together. Sofia did not cry, she was quiet and inquisitive and…
OMG! That is the sweetest thing ever! I had to keep pausing it because I couldn’t read the quotes because of all my tears! Sophia is so lucky to have a mom who cares so much. Love it!

I can NOT believe it’s been a year! WOw! And I only WISH I could hear the music! My speakers won’t work! WAH!!!
Awwwwww,just beautiful!!! I really enjoyed seeing all the photos from Lanzhou…..brings back so many wonderful memories. The museum looks fun. We didn’t see it. Did you purchase one of the horses? We actually bought 2 while there…I have one setting out and I have a smaller one put away.

The video is fantastic and I know that when Sofie views it in her later years she will appreeciate it as much as I do.
Love you’all

I can’t believe we were finally on our flight to China to bring our daughter home a year ago today. It seems like just yesterday. This month, our daughter has been home with us longer than she was in the Jinchang City SWI in the Gansu Province of China. Tomorrow is our 1 year family…
(Jumping up and down and clapping my fat little hands for you!) What a wonderful milestone. Home longer than she was not. Ahhhhhh, the joy!
Congrats to you all and get some sleep girl! Toddlers don’t know from all-nighter mommies
It’s a Miracle that we have received these Precious Blessings in our Lives!
Time flies, doesnt it. Your family day is coming up.
Congratulations! It almost seems like I didn’t know you (blog sense) before you had Sofia! That cyber shower seems like yrs. ago. Then again it was ): Can’t wait to see the video and hope you all have a wonderful family day. Love, Dale
Grandma Monica - I got so excited, and tried to get it, well not me but my daughter she’s the computer genius like you. but we can’t get it yet. Boo Hoo. I’d love to know who read my blog with out comments
How’s our girl.
Iris - Hi, Jonni…If you get the “stalking” gadget to work, I am one who checks your blog occasionally…it is one of my favorites because of all the cool stuff you do to change and update it. I also enjoy your updates on Sophia…she is so adorable! I am one of the May Magpies…Iris Lane of Ellsworth, Maine…Have a great day!
Anonymous - Gee, I can get it on my site, too bad for you. You know who.
Janet - That IS cool!
Leslie - LOL….you can’t hate me either. I don’t have it either.
Guess what I just got yesterday????
A Canon Rebel XSI!!!
So don’t think I won’t call again, once I get into this camera and need your help. You master everything you do, so I will use you as my “Go to Girl.”
Your photos are amazing, and I hope I’ll be able to do the same.
Sorry it’s been forever since I’ve left a comment. I do check in on you all the time, and that Sophia is just beautiful. She has healed beautifully too. So very precious!!!
