We Stand Corrected


Yesterday, Alaina put her hands on my face and proceeded to "teach" me how to properly pronounce her name. She said it one syllable at a time and waited for me to repeat each one. It's (I'll try my best to write it how it sounds) "wuh", "sheh", "whay". She did it for each of us. I guess she was fed up with our lame attempts. All of us got a stamp of approval, except Daddy, who just got a sigh and a laugh!

Both little girls are wearing their "new" jeans! Alaina also has on her new "tennies"! She tied them herself!

Doug and Lucy,

So glad you are liking the Victory. We thought it was really nice, but did not have a stay at the White Swan to compare it to.

By the way, I got an email from Belinda (I had lost her email address and found it yesterday cleaning/reorganizing--a New Year's resolution). She is still in Guangzhou, but not on Shamian Island. Her cell is 13512784736 in case you want to call her.

We are so happy to see many more smiles this time around.
