• Hi There!

    Hi, my name is Jonni and I am Mommy to Sofia (5 years old) and Samantha (5 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. :)

The Girls First Day of Kindergarten (9.6.11)

On Tuesday the girls went to Kindergarten and it was bittersweet. They were ready but I was not ready to see them leave. It’s only half a day Kindergarten in our district, so I am thrilled that they still have another year before they go to school full-time. The girls did wonderful though. We waited…

Vicki Campbell - Absolutely the best thing you have posted yet. Looking at it before I go to work, but will scrutinize it when I get home. Love you.

Marleen - Jonni,
I teared up! My heart is just so full and satisfied to know that Sammy has blossomed and is so loved and adored. I love hearing your guys’ voices and your conversation about the juice boxes. Being a kindergarten teacher, I know how precious each day is with 5 year olds! It’s a gift and I’m sure their teachers are enjoying them so much. I think back to two year ago and Samantha is such a testimony what a loving and caring family can do. Sending you a hug and thanks so much for sharing this joy with me!

Meet Your Teacher Day (8.30.11)

This past Tuesday the girls met their new Kindergarten teachers and had a chance to check out their classrooms. It is hard for me to grasp that my little girls will be attending Kindergarten in one more day. It is bittersweet. I know they are ready but I am dreading them getting on the big…
