Sasha Jade's First Day At Home



Good Morning 
from a jet lagged family,
it was a wonderful first day!

In an effort to keep 
Sasha's world a little smaller 
we are staying on one level of our home for now,
and since she's still a little scared of our dog, 
his "house" is now on the lower level.

is it time for school yet?
there are red couches here... 
but this doesn't look like the White Swan...
what, no breakfast buffet? 
not bad
not so sure about the dog
but throwing peanuts for him to eat 
is a great way to make friends
and it's very silly to watch him eat
first Sasha eats one, then Coconut gets one
sisters with jet lag

I love the new blanket 
my aunt and uncle gave me

Sasha's first time watching an old favorite,
we got a kick out of watching it too
meeting cousins and Auntie and Uncle for the first time


sweet silly faces
meeting Mimi and Zayde






time for a little drive with Jie Jie

and with Ge Ge
and that's the end of a busy day,
Wan An!

  3. Wow! What a wonderful first day home! I'm sure you must all miss China very much, but it is so great to see all of you back. It looks like Sasha is doing very well. Rest up! I'm sure you will have plenty more visitors.

  5. I would say you all are settling in quite well! What a smart thing to keep her world small. Think we will do that as well! :) Thanks for your emails. You are such a blessing!
