We are exhausted but I promise many photos are coming but here are a couple of "red couch" photos : ) You need to click to enlarge them to see better & we have Lauren & Ellen switched but hey, it was a little crazy!
Our Hubei Honeys (April 2008)
Bottom~ Liana, Lauren, Ellen, Mikayla

Then of course we had them do a silly face one. It is amazing how much they have changed and how they are actually smiling now in their picture : )
We were sad that two of our Hubei families couldn't make it. We also were blessed that two Jiangxi families were able to make it who were in our "big" China travel group.It was so wonderful seeing everyone again and our next reunion is planned for St. Louis in 2010(we are doing it every other year and in a city a family lives in so they can "host" it) Anyone who has been through this process knows that we are now family with these people and love them and miss them already. Annslee keeps asking about her friends : )

The pics look very grand! For laughs, you should have asked them to all pose with fake cries. But, I think it woulda been hard to explain why you want them to fake crying.
Your little A looks so....stunned in the original photo.
Oh yeah! Those reunions are THE BEST! So glad you were able to attend...wasn't it hard to leave!?
Love the pics - Annslee is a natural in front of that camera.

Love the pictures! So glad you had a great time.
What adorable pictures! What a wonderful reunion!!
Awesome! We are doing the same in Kansas with Lottie's group in June! We are very excited!
Molly keeps asking for her friends too - it was AWESOME being together with everyone (except the 2 missing families) I am so glad we did it. I too hope we can arrange a quick get together before 2010 also - missing everyone already painfully. We have the BEST group ever.
Look at these beautiful girls! Time goes too fast...
I love the last pic lol
Glad you had a great weekend! Have a good week too.
Oops, didn't mean to switch Ellen & Lauren. It was a crazy rush trying to get the picture before the shuttle came. :) They had a blast though.
I love the old picture with the new, how cool. We only had two other families in our group and we only have seen one that we stay in contact with. How nice that Annslee has all those girls to stay in contact with.
That is just so sweet! What great photos for Annslee to have forever! All those girls are quite adorable!
Such beauties! What a special connection these girls (and their families) share. They sure look a whole lot happier in the "now" pictures. LOL!
That is an awesome picture on the red couch!! Especially sweet to compare it to your one in China! What a blessing to stay in touch with these families who share something so special with Annslee.
How awesome! I'll bet you had a blast. The pictures are adorable.
How wonderful is that! That type of a reunion is the best! Love the photos!
I cannot believe you all were so close to me!! We were out of town at a family reunion!! UGH! The girls are all so precious!
Oh Laura...these reunion pics make me melt. They are the sweetest little group of angels!!! I know by you all keeping them connected, they will grow to be such close friends.
We had a reunion in Nashville a few years back and it went great!
HOW FUN!!!!
All the girls are sooo beautiful..
Have a Great Week..
Those pictures are darling! It's fun to see how the girls have grown!
I'm a week late trying to get your address for my giveaway...you have three Signing Time DVDs waiting to head your way! Please email me your address. :)
How sweet!
We were the only family in Vietnam with our agency, and at the time, there weren't many others from other agencies either. It would have been great to have so many friends around during that time!
What an amazing connection these girls share.

Oh my gosh, that is the cutest thing ever!!! They've all gotten so big. That must be so fun to get all of those girls together! We didn't travel in a big group to Vietnam, but it looks like alot of fun!
Oh yeah!! This is so fun - can't wait to see more pictures and what a fabulous weekend you must have had!! They are "sisters", how cool to help them become friends!
I always love to stop in and see what Miss Annslee is up to - simply loved the previous pics as well:)
Have a great week,
Heather
What cute Hubei Honeys! Love it that you're keeping her connected to her "sisters".
Happy Half-Birthday, Annslee!
ohhhh! SO glad you guys had fun! What a blessing to get together.
Just catching up...thanks for following our journey. The before and after reunion photos are just amazing aren't they?
