Wintery Wednesday

Good Morning 
 Mama is making sure I'm bundled up today
 This is my first time seeing snow
 Wow

 I'm trying to catch a snowflake
 Sn-ooooohhhhhh
 Here comes the school bus
Bye Bye

Affection

This is Sasha's favorite doll
 Sasha named her "Xiao Sasha Jade"
(xiao means 'little')
Sasha asks me for her Xiao Sasha Jade 
when she is tired and wants to go to bed,
she sings "ah ah baby" to her and rocks her to sleep.
Sasha is so loving and affectionate to all of us,
It was clear she was given a lot of love in China
before she joined our family.

Grateful

What could be better than...
Cousins
Together for Thanksgiving
 Just hanging around
Creating a masterpiece
 Swirling and twirling
Being silly together

 
Stepping outside the box
Hard at work in the kitchen
Muncle asleep on the couch
Sharing a wonderful 
Thanksgiving meal
Who's going to do all these dishes?

One Year Brings One More

Chicago 2009

And then...Chicago 2010 !






Finally, you became our sister
Our family is now complete
We’ve been blessed with your angel eyes
And your dancing, busy feet!
Together forever, our lives intertwined
This we do solemnly vow
What pride we feel, as our joy we share
You're our sister now!
