Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

A Trip to Idaho

On the weekend of July 2nd, my cousins and aunt hosted a party for Katie in Idaho, where I grew up.  I wondered how Katie would handle being in her car seat for lots of hours, but she did really well!  She was sure glad to get out of it though.  The day of the party was a hot day, but it was at a park with lots of shade, so the heat wasn't too bad. It was good to see all of my family at the party, and the park looked really nice.

One of our family friends brought her 6 year old neighbor who was also adopted from China. She and Katie were an instant match. Katie even let Mady hold her, which is still pretty rare.  It was fun to talk to her and get to know her that afternoon.

While we were in Idaho, Katie started a new and funny behavior. She started making funny faces. Every time she makes the faces, Jennifer shouts "Scary Baby," which fits quite well.  She has already stopped making the faces quite as often. I sort of miss it because it made me laugh so much. She continues to be happy baby, and we see smiles more than anything else!
