Sewing with Nai Nai

Happy Birthday Nai Nai

Yesterday was my mom's birthday! Lillie sang "Happy Birthday" to her several times and they went on a shopping trip... Lillie got several new things. (Something odd about that statement!) It has been so nice to watch Lillie and her Nai Nai fall in love with one another. It is a love affair that started a long time ago for mom...and a little over 7 months ago for Lillie. I thank God that mom traveled with me to China and for all of the love, attention and time she has given Lillie. Here are some of my favorite Lillie and Nai Nai pictures....


These are from our first week together in China and are some of my very favorite!

Christmas at mom and dad's house

Christmas Morning...I know it isn't a great quality picture, but I love how Lillie is snuggled down in mom's arms looking at the pictures.

I can't wait to see the pictures we will take in the next year of Lillie and her Nai Nai...Happy Birthday Mom! We love you!

Chinese New Year

Last Sunday, Lillie and I celebrated Chinese New Year with Nai Nai, Bopbop and several other families in the central Kentucky area. We went to see dancers at the Childrens Theater from Heilongjiang College of Performing Arts in Harbin, China. The performance was great and Lillie liked their costumes! Afterward, we went to dinner with a few other families from the Families with Children from China group. It was geat to get to know some of the families better and I look forward to the next opportunity!

Boyd's Orchard #3

This was our 3rd trip to Boyd's orchard. Nai Nai went with us, which was great fun! We went for the Helping Hands playgroup, but only had one other family there. It was wonderful, however, to meet Grace and her family!
