Fake Smile!

Can anyone sense the fake smile?! Our little ham has grown tired of the incessant picture taking and now fights us to get a good picture... When she does say 'Cheese', it's with this lovely fake smile that is on display in the above photo, and lasts for all of a second and a half, if we're lucky! But that's ok, we'll just have to move on to the candid photo phase...

Note the 'twins' in the photo! As most of you know, Mia is obsessed with her bears. We bought a back up to 'Little Bear', just in case he was ever lost. Well, she found the back up and immeditely decided, with no guidance from us, that they are twins, just like the babies in Momma's belly! So now she carries her twins around... Too freaking cute, and just a bit ironic!

Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year to you all. This past weekend was the big FCC (Families with Children from China) event of the year. Momma is on the Board, along with Sascha's Mommy Chrissy, and they work hard all year preparing for the festivities! As always, it was an absolute success. Mommy worked about a 10 hour day, which is always good in the 3rd tri-mester of a high risk prenancy... Daddy showed up fashionably late with the midget and got to enjoy the fruits of all the hard work. (Does anyone sense a recurring theme here?!) We played games, made t-shirts, and even got a T-Rex balloon! It's always fun to delve into Mia's birth country's culture and expose her to so many neat traditions and so much history. Thank you very much to all of you who so generously supported our event! The midget appreciates it...
