Happy Birthday, Li Mei!





We would like to send out a special thank you to all of our friends and family at Simply Dance. We enjoyed the birthday celebration and are excited about using the donations to sponsor an orphan! Miss Helene, thank you for planning such a special party. It was wonderful! We love you!

The Oscar Goes To..




Thank you for coming to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We miss you already! We had a lot of fun just hanging around, touring Hollywood and visiting the Mission del Rey Espana. Buttercup and Grandma are holding a real Oscar that will be given out this coming Sunday. Our little Harry Potter fan enjoyed seeing the hand, foot and wand prints in front of the Chinese Theater. We also took Grandma and Grandpa to see the Hannah Montana movie!

Update on the Girls




At her second doctor's visit Snapdragon was 281/4in. long and weighed 19.81bs. We are also walking now! We are eating mostly table food and drinking whole milk and juice from our sippy cup. Developmentally, Snapdragon is right on target. She is still not sleeping through the night, but we are making progress. Mommy is getting ready to go back to work. Teaching kindergarten will keep me busy in the morning, but I will be home by noon to enjoy the rest of the day with Snapdragon and Buttercup. Snapdragon has visited her new daycare several times and loves being with the children. The photo shows Snapdragon with her pediatritian just before the shots! What a brave girl!


Buttercup just got her braces on yesterday and is very sore. She is also enjoying playing basketball for the first time this year and is looking forward to her first game in March. She still enjoys riding horses and dancing. We are proud of both of our beautiful daughters!
