Bao'an Reunion!

Twelve families who have connected through a yahoo group and facebook gathered

together to celebrate our kids who were all adopted from the same orphanage...

the Bao'an SWI in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province of China.

We met in Pennsylvania....families came from

IN, NY, NJ, IL, DE, PA, Montreal and England!

Our kids bonded and had a great day together.

Here is their group picture.  Such sweetness!

Happy Girl

This is my happy girl posing before church.

Just thought I'd share.

She's wearing a dress that I bought when I was on a

professional trip to Rio de Janiero last August.

Now I'm wishin' that I purchased more than one dress.

She Was Inspired

Caroline went to a clarinet and saxophone recital with Mommy the other night.

When we returned to Mommy's office, Caroline said,

'I want to play your recorder,' so I got it for her, she moved the music stand closer to

Mommy's desk and asked for some music,

then went outside of my office, just outside of the office door.

Caroline said, "Mommy, say ladies and gentlemen."

So, of course, I did.  She walks in my office, takes a bow and begins to play her

'rendition' of Twinkle, Twinkle.

Easter!

Making Cupcakes!

Today we made cupcakes for Grandma's (she calls her Nai-Nai) birthday.  I bought a 3-D cupcake pan for Caroline for Valentine's Day.....so we tried it out.  Caroline loves to help in the kitchen.  Maybe she'll teach me how to cook one of these days.  :)

Then, we went out to eat for Nai-Nai's birthday.
