Donna gave me this bottle, which will be used very soon, I imagine!

And a few photos of the party kids!

Lunar New Year Party

We attended our agency's Lunar New Year party. It was scheduled earlier in the month, and many of the families we traveled with were unable to attend. There was also a football game involving some team called the Eagles that may have lowered the attendance rate.

Anyway, Mary was dancing up a storm there, rockin the house and doing her trademark gymnastic move.

I love this photo of the dancers, with just the tops of the heads of 7 little girls. Very cool, to me!

Meet "A Nocerous"

Mary would like to introduce her new friend A Nocerous. She had asked Santa for a
biiig dinosaur. When this dino showed up on Christmas morning, we were corrected when we called him a dinosaur. "He ia 'a nocerous', we were told. This may be his name or simply his species, but Mary was adamant about this fact.

Here is A Nocerous with a multitude of tea cups underneath him. The tea cups' function is to catch the poop. Hee Hee. Gotta love it.

A few more photos before we get on the road!
