See ya, FFFF!

It's official. I have retired my Family FotoFun Friday meme. It never really caught on like I hoped and no one seemed to miss it when I stopped. As you can see I've rearranged my top tabs to include I ♥ Faces, which is the photo meme I am participating in now.

Come back here and link your post on the Mr. Linky below. You can grab the FFFF button code above.

Since my birthday is on Sunday, I am posting pics from my birthday. I really don't like talking about how old I am (although I am younger than Harriet!! LOL!), but obviously this was a big party for a big year...and my oldest child is nearly 16 yrs old...so do the math! I think I looked pretty darn good on my bday...and it's all been downhill since!!!!!!!! So I guess we can say I was truly over the hill!!

This potty has a history of going from friend to friend as a different gift!

I am posting a pic of my hubby and daughter. I mentioned in a previous post that Eric got a bunch of new clothes in efforts to dress nicer for work. I think he's been looking super cute, especially in the cargo pants. He usually comes home and changes right away, but I got him to pose real quick first.

FFFF #21: Anything April

OMG~ I am a total slacker and forgot to post Family FotoFun Friday. I remembered it earlier today, but I got busy. Please forgive me (if anyone is even reading!) The theme for this month is anything goes. Just post a pic or 2 and explain what you've posted. Come back here and link your post on the Mr. Linky below. You can grab my FFFF button over on the sidebar.

I am posting 2 red couch pics from China. Let me explain this ritual a little bit. All American's adopting from China must go through Guangzhou because the US Consulate is there. Most families stay at the famous White Swan hotel on Shaiman Island in GZ. The White Swan has several of these red couches down near the lobby and it's tradition to get all the babes from your travel group together for a pic on one of these sofas. Dori was not too pleased with our group's first attempt and I had to hold her up on the back of the sofa. This is one of the pics where my head doesn't show. I requested that we do another photo a few days later so that Dori could get on the couch. You can see how thrilled the girls are! LOL! It's a special tradition that many families (I am sure mostly mamas) look forward to.

Now is your turn. Share a photo or 2. You have until Thurs, April 9th to post it.

FFFF #18: My Former Years, Part Two

Today continutes the My Former Years photo series. This week's theme is Elementary Years. Please post at least one photo of you in your elementary years...I'd say 5-12 yrs or so. I was saddened by last week's lack of participation. I hope more of you will take part this week. I think I'll leave last week's up for a while. Only 1 pic needed and it doesn't have to be a school portrait. I realize this will involve scanning photos, but you have until next Thursday to participate, so dust those pics off and get scanning! (I actually just scanned this weeks & next week's (HS years)) Once you've posted your pic(s), come back here and fill out the Mr. Linky with the direct URL to your post. Detailed directions for participating in FFFF and how to do get the direct URL to your post can be found here.
