新年快乐！马年快乐！ Spring Festival time!! Happy Lunar New Year of the Horse!

We wish everyone many blessings and good fortune in the New Year!  My girls were thrilled to celebrate with their school friends.  It seems like just yesterday that we were in China soaking up the sights, sounds, and people.  China is a country so rich in culture and tradition.  I hope that we can continue to learn and explore so that my girls have a sense of where they came from.

Just a few.........

This girl has some get-ups!  She was proud of this little outfit!

The princess really can walk on water with the help of her big brother.  This is the first year that we haven't covered our pool.  The kids were delighted to see that it was frozen over.  Let me tell you, it is no fun to do 'pool' chores in the cold.  Next year it will be covered.

We are all getting over various types of virus like symptoms around here.  A few of us are dreaming of warm weather, the beach, and shell 'getting'.

A visit from friends..........

In the adoption world, friends are made quickly and friendships are forged with common bonds.  Our good friends visited us yesterday from Texas.  We had a grand time catching up.  We met in China when adopting the Princess.

Thank you Ms. B and V for coming to visit us.  The girls share a special bond and will forever be Fu sisters.
