Chinese New Year celebration, Mall style

Nice eye roll, Miss Thing. That is her new signature move!

Mary's 3rd grade humor

THis started out as a lesson in how to properly hold a tea cup!
So much for today's princess training!

Mary , improv, speaking "chinglish" or who knows what sort of gibberish!

Scenes from Shady Acres and some photos many decades old !

Not sure who was more confused… this lovely lady thought Mary was her granddaughter, and said M. looked just like her son.

a little Valentine’s day still life action…

The complete (almost) Little Miss Matched bedroom

Lisa, at the long road to china is donating a part of the proceeds from her online photography classes to the Half the Sky Foundation.

 

Mary modeling her new Lehigh U. sweatshirt.  Just a preview picture, though Daddy would be pleased if she does choose Lehigh as her college choice.  No pressure there, LOL.

A documentary feature on Chinese adoptees

I just found this trailer on someone's adoption blog. Not sure how new this film is, but I had not heard of it before. One of the girls featured in the trailer attends the local middle school in our township.

b & W wednesday

Well, I posted this on Wednesday, but didn't link it until today. It's not even Wednesday anywhere anymore, unless you are in an alternate universe!
Yes, I watched LOST way too long, and no, I still don't quite get it!

I drive by those cylindrical hay bales in all 4 seasons, I think (well, maybe just 3) , and have only pulled over twice to take photos of them.

Mary dancing to Luck be a Lady tonight.

George Washington may have slept here, or not far from it anyway...

None of the sculptures were created yet when I was Mary's age, playing in the snow in the same exact location!
