Happy fourth of July to you all. Hope you all have a fun,happy and SAFE day and evening.
Last eve the kids and mom walked in the benicia July 4th parade to promote  Laurel"s gymnastics team.
THis am,we take the usual traditional every year picture to post for Laurels "special day",or  "Forever Family Day" as I prefer to call it. lol lol
8 yrs ago We met Laurel in Changsha,China. She was just turning 9 months old and she was tiny. I have posted the day of and todays picture below to show you the changes that we have seen. Dad can hardly hold her anymore. lol

Today we will celebrate a friends bday with a bbq at their house and then do your annual trip to 6 flags,Discovery Kingdom,our local amusement park in Vallejo for rides and fireworks. We go each year with our good friends the Toyama family who also have an adopted daughter from China.

I have to work tomorrow so it will be fireworks and then home to bed.  Enjoy
