My Mommy Voted. Did Yours?

Well what an event...bringing little Rachel home to a historic presidential election year! While the kiddos were in school, Rachel and I took advantage of early voting. The lines had slowed down, and electronic voting is mommy-friendly thankfully! That is, little one on the hip while Mom uses one hand to work the mouse-wheel. The election has now passed, and we respect, pray for President-Elect Barack Obama, his family, and developing Cabinet. In this photo of Rachel she is actually saying "Vote"!

In her red polka dot dress, Rachel warmed up for a few smiles and had fun being the star of her own photo session. She's use to a lot of attention albeit she is not sure how to handle it all yet. 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!
