• 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. :)

My Sweet Girls

My sweet girls posed for me today. The girls are growing up so fast and it is making me sad. Can’t they just stay four years old forever? I am beyond late with posting pics of what the girls have been up to. Hopefully I will catch up soon.

Tomorrow the Girls Celebrate Chinese New Year at Preschool

I just finished the preparations for CNY at the girls school tomorrow (make that today). Since the girls only attend preschool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I asked their teachers if we could celebrate it tomorrow and they thought that it would be a great idea. I found the cute little Chinese takeout boxes in the dollar section…

Happy (Chinese) New Year! 恭禧發財 » The Chronicles of Mommia - [...] with our friends/China travelmates on Sunday but fortunately we are going to reschedule it. Last year the girls and I put-together CNY treats for their preschool classmates to teach the students about Chinese New Year. This year I ordered [...]

Monica - Everything looks yummy, made the fortune cookies for Lil Orchids 2nd Birthday, and you’re right the kids will love them. We have still been iced & snowed in so our celebration was just the three of us. Had fun! Lil Orchid is very concerned with Samantha’s boo-boo finger :(
