This is Bria’s Big Sister Ashlyn and Big Brother Landen. Ashlyn is 16 and Landen is 11, and they are both very excited about getting a little sister. This will be Ashlyn’s first sister!!


 

This is Bria’s Big Brother Kaden. He turned 3 in January and is also very excited to get a baby sister. He wants her to “come play trains with me.” He is looking forward to going to China in August (in a helicopter….). What a long trip that would be!!! We are working on the “OK” to take an airplane.


 

The day we had all been waiting on! Our FedEx package came on June 28, 2006, with all the paperwork and documents to sign to make everything official. What an incredible day!!


 

July 5, 2006—We had to celebrate Bria’s first birthday without her. Big Sister Ashlyn made the poster and Big Brother Kaden blew out her candle. She will get to open her present (a Chinese baby doll who speaks Chinese and English) as soon as we return from China. We also plan to have a belated birthday party for her soon after we return.
