Our Family Blog – Mike, Louanne, Nadia, Amelie, & Dani
On the morning of May 9th our friend Danielle and her daughter Sophie came over for a play date and to chat about adoption. It was a nice visit and fun play time for the girls. After lunch and they left, we headed to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Dani’s yearly hip check. We started with height/weight and an xray.
Dani cooperated with Dr. Podezwa and he said that she is doing great. Everything looked good and we are clear for another year. WOO HOO!!
In memory of Mason Family members that have given their life in service of our country. Mike’s dad in Vietnam, his cousin Johnny in Iraq and his cousin Luke in Afghanistan.
We traveled to Longview, TX in May to attend the wedding of my cousin Kelly to her fiance James. Beforehand we met up with family at the hotel and finally got to meet Roma and Tobias is person.
Dani wanted to hold Roma in one place so bad!
The wedding was at the cutest little place called the Belgium House and the ceremony was really sweet. We had a good time with everyone and the weather was perfect to be outside.

The cake was wonderful, but just after taking this photo Dani fell and got a splinter in her palm. She had the look of 1,000 tantrums about to let loose on her face so I scooped her up and dashed for the kitchen. The staff helped me calm her by grabbing a band aid. By the time the crisis was averted we had missed all the toasts.
We had a great time dancing and eating and visiting with everyone. Thanks for including us in your special day Kelly and James!
The girls did such a great job at the late night wedding that I surprised them with Wonder Woman shirts before we went for breakfast at the hotel.
