Fall at the Valentinos, NEW BEGINNINGS

Hannah Elizabeth Chew Born October2,2008
weight:7lbs5oz, 20in long




This fall lots has been happening around here!!!
School started on August 28th. The girls were both glad to be back in school. They love it!!! Hope is in the 7th Grade and on October 15 we celebrated 11 years with her in our family. Boy are we the lucky ones. Grayce started 2nd grade, learned to read chapter books and loves school and she also turned 8.WOW!!!! Time sure flies by. She had a party with her best friend Lark who lives up the street from us. They have been good little friends for a few years now. She wanted a tea party so i threw her one and they dressed up in the princess dresses complete with gloves and bangles. They had a great time. I love giving parties to them on a small scale so we can also get enjoyment out of the hard work. She is still small for her age but spunky. We love having her in our family.
We also had our 3rd grand child born on October2,2008. Her name is Hannah Elizabeth and she was born at 7 lbs.5 oz. and 20 in long. She was born to Rebecca and Claude the proud parents, and Joshua MuEn the proud big brother. We are very proud to be grand parents but miss them alot being in NY we cannot go see her yet but hopefully soon. But we talk on the webcam every weekend which is wonderful.
We also had Hope's first orchestra concert of the year and she did a fabulous job. She of course looked as elegant as she played. Boy would her China parents be proud. I can only think of how we are the blessed ones to witness this and hope they know she is loved and adored by us all. Next was Halloween and the falling of all our maple leaves. It is always such a colorful time of year here in the Autumn. You can view the smilebox photo's here also.
Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving and all that comes your way this Autumn season!!
We love you all
Tami, John, Hope and Anna (as she is liking to be called these days)
