Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

Oct 12, 2008

~Tuyen Quang Beauties~ How many MORE pageants will the family attend?

I received the message below from Kris Ann (a hen) who is in VN adopting her son, Matthew. OH, you know I love a pageant! LOL

We met a nice young woman who works at the Somerset Grand today. She asked me if I was here to adopt, I said yes, she asked from where. I told her TQ. She told me all the beauty pageant winners in VN are from TQ because the girls there are generally considered the most beautiful.

Thought all you moms of daughters would like to know that. :)

Sunday fun at Nanny's house...and more

Today we went to church with Nanny and Papa Gene and Halle-Grace met Joe Westfall. He married Jason and I. We ate lunch at Nanny's house and watched the Panthers, they didn't win! Uncle Mike and Hunter rocked Halle-Grace (it was really sweet)! Hannah and Halle-Grace played and Sophie was there too! When I walked in the door and saw Sophie, I lost it! I started crying because it made me miss Gabby even more!!! I remembered all the times they would run after one another. Gosh, I miss my Gabby girl!
Nanny had Halle-Grace's Halloween costume (see a sneak peak below) and dressed her up in a Panthers cheerleading outfit for the game! She loves to spoil the children! Thanks Nanny for a great lunch and for the glider. AND A BIG thanks to Aunt Suzie for carrying the glider into our house by herself! Halle-Grace will enjoy rocking (see the photo below) she and her daddy are in love!

When we arrived home, Lori, Kelly, Emma and Mary Claire came over to visit with Halle-Grace and the girls played so well together. Emma wrote Jason & I the sweetest note. She told us how brave we were to go SO FAR to bring Halle-Grace home and that we were great parents! It was very thoughtful and truly touched my heart. Lori and I have been friends since pre-school and we LOVE the entire family!

Enjoy the photos below...we are headed to Nanny's beach house later this week!!!

With my cousins Hunter and Hannah in our Panther gear...it didn't help them today:(
Hunter is so sweet to me

Just a sneak peak at part of my Halloween costume that Nanny ordered for me...I'll be the perfect little stinker
I love these people!!! Scott & Krista visit me a lot and I LOVE IT!
I am a Tarheel fan just like my dad. I brought them good luck and they won on Sat.!
