Duckies!

Rachel clings to her new pajamas. Bought some warm fuzzy jam-jams for her with duckies. When she's not wearing them, she's cuddling them like her blankie, or rather, her "mi-mi". So her latest new word is "duck!"

Rachel likes a lot of things. She loves shoes. Hers, ours, yours. She loves socks. Hers, ours, yours. She will leap at the chance to try on a sock or a shoe...but not at the same time. Oh no, they must be enjoyed separately.

Rachel also likes her voice. In fact as we go around the dinner table each evening asking Noah, Simon, Elizabeth how their day was, Rachel babbles non-stop until we ask in the same tone and form, "Rachel, how was your day". She smiles a big cheesy smile and says 'goo!"

After that we drove to downtown Dallas to check out The Crow Collection of Asian Art. It was a murky day with lots of low rain clouds and drizzle; exactly like it was this very day in Guanghzhou last year! Exactly. We parked and walked the streets of downtown, which really could have been any major city in the world at that point. The skyscrapers were masked with th...

"Cupcake" For DS

So today as I'm spending a few hours writing up our report for our 1-year post adoption appointment with our case worker, Rachel is off to the side "using her imagination". Such a proud Mommy I am. My little darling using that noggin to discover the next cure for the common cold, of course. So did I laugh out loud or what when Rachel started singing "Happy Birthday Mommy" and presented me with a special "cupcake". Yes, that is a half-eaten apple with a Nintendo DS stylus tucked in the top just like a candle. I've told my boys to keep their games out of reach...oops!
