End of a good day

Celebrating four years together!!

I'm going to wear it for days and days and days ...

Commenting on her new outfit

At the ballet ...

We came to SF to celebrate Rikki's Daughter's Day. Now it's intermission.

Rite of passage

Time to pass on her old bike to a younger child. Sniff sniff.

Ambidexterity!!

Four years ago...

Four years ago today, I boarded a plane for China, a trip that would change my life. Here she is, the daughter I returned with, together with three of her friends from that trip. Kira (on the guitar) and Olivia (in the yellow) were from her same orphanage, Jianxin, and Lauren, the sax player, came from another orphanage also in Jiangxi province. The pic is from our gathering yesterday on the steps of our new home.

What's the sun doing??

I think it's un-setting. Going up to the sky.

And this is Rikki un-riding her scooter.

My Mother's Day present

Happy Mother's Day!!

We are in our annual Mother's Day hike at lake Anza. Later I will send a picture of my new butterfly mobile that Rikki gave me.

Did you know I have a kitty??

Dining with Aunt Linda

We are taking her out to thank her for all the help with packing, moving, art consulting, and interior designing.
