"I have two cats" by Jenny Franz

I have two cats.
Their names are Cinder and Alli.
Cinder is black, brown and white.
Alli is black and brown.
I like my cats because I love them.

6 Months ago, she did not speak any English. Can you believe it!

"I love my dad when he...." by Anna Franz

I Love My Dad When he....by Anna Franz
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Makes egg sandwich for me every Saturday.
When we go shopping together.
When I am crying and my dad carries me to bed.
Sometimes he lets me sleep with him.
He watches movies with us.
He picks apple with me.
He takes me and Jenny to the park.

Blanket for Jenny's Adoption

When we adopted Anna, we traveled with 7 other families. I made a blanket for Anna that has 8 handprints from the original 8 Anhui dolls. Since we came home with Jenny, Jenny has been admiring it and wished she could have a similar blanket.
I finally made one for her. Since she really did not have a travel group, I made the blanket with 4 hand prints from her brothers and sister. In reality, these were the kids who traveled with us to get her.
Needless to say, Jenny and Anna both are very excited about the blanket. Jenny calls it her favorite!
Thanks for Toby and Josh - You are probably the only two teenagers I know who are willing to print their hand prints on a blanket! Can't love you enough for everything you have been!
