Bein' Silly!

A couple of weeks ago when it was a rainy Sunday, we had some fun being silly after church in the driveway.








Can you tell she needs a haircut? Well, last week she finally got one, you'll see the "after" photos soon!






April Play Date

Since we weren't sure we were going to have good weather, we relocated our play date In April to the main library. Unbeknownst to us, there was a cool program going on and the kids had a blast.
Here are Lia, Emilie, and Sarah from R to L after the program having fun!






Sarah and Emilie found something fun to climb on in the kids area!

I caught a cute moment with Lia and her Mommy!

Sarah loves to pose in the shape of the Chinese character DA which means BIG!

My Cutie!


Shopping Trip results!

Gotta love those Gymbucks! We had a coupon and took a trip to Gymboree. Well, I would say of all the shopping we've done for and with Sarah in the past 3 1/2 years, this was the first time she cared what was purchased! My daughter has developed an opinion! Upon entering one of our fave Mall shopping spots, Sarah ran over to this hot pink tulle "poofy" skirt and declared her desire (so to speak) to have it! So, we found a cute top to match and asked the sales girl how well it washed and after being reassured by her that it could go in the washer, I relented and brought home the poofy skirt. Of course, she HAD to put in on IMMEDIATELY upon arriving home. Every day since, she's been asking to wear it, hoping that the weather is appropriate! Hopefully this week she'll get a chance!


My Sweet Little Girl

It's so sad how fast Sarah is getting TALL!!! Her waist still fits a 3T and all the 4T pants are WAY too short! This jumper is WAY too big around her and you can see just barely hits her knees! *sigh* She's growing too fast!

Can you say Personality?

Look at that attitude in her face! And of course, her best friend at her feet!

Aww, what a sweet girl
Talk about a cheesy grin!



I just love that girl...





My Favorite People!

Sarah's snuggle spot when BaBa comes home from work is on his right side between him and the couch. I love this photo cause you can see in her face how much she loves him. And darn his sensitive eyes, I can NEVER get a photo of my husband with his eyes open!


Happy Easter

I don't know how to load these photos in order anymore! Every time I think I have it figured out, it doesn't work!
Anyway, Here is the "BaBa" egg that Sarah made for her BaBa! She wrote with a white crayon, so to her credit, she couldn't really see what she was doing.


After church on Easter, we had an egg hunt for Sarah in the yard. Troy hid them, and we hunted. She LOVED it!

Showing off some of her treasures...
There's one!








Opening some of the "loot" that Lao Lao and Lao Ye sent for Easter presents!
She's a little excited!
Thank you, Lao Ye!


This is our precious girl dancing at church during worship. Although her sunday school class starts when our service starts, sometimes, Sarah likes to come in with us and dance to the music. I usually leave the choice up to her. Most of the time she dances a little...it's so cute to watch.
Posing in her pretty dress

Here we have the beloved, Waldo (top left), along with Magenta and in the front the new Blue and Periwinkle (both of which were Easter presents from Poppa). Sarah took this photo herself and just HAD to allow Blue to hold an egg.
Hugging her new Blue!

Periwinkle getting hugs, too!
Her box of goodies from Poppa!
"Okay, Can I have my presents yet?"

Chinese for Easter!

Sarah's Poppa took us out to dinner for Chinese food on the day before Easter. Sarah wanted to pose with the Lions at the front door before we went in.
Don't you just love the outfit? So cute!



Coloring Easter Eggs!

We were coloring Easter Eggs the weekend of Easter, Sarah LOVED it! She didn't really remember coloring them before and we had a lot of fun. She drew on some of them and got to choose the colors herself. Here she is putting them in the carton.

She wanted to add the daffodil she picked outside to the photo! Then the next day, she decided to give her daffodil to her Poppa (my Dad)...she's such a sweetie.



A pretty girl with pretty eggs!





New Ariel Pajamas

Sarah is sporting her new Ariel jammies that Lao Lao sent. Of course, they're her favorite PJs!
In this one she's showing us that not only does she have Ariel jammies, but an Ariel hairbrush, too! What else does a girl need?


Liberty wanted to play and give kisses!




A Beautiful Day

A few weeks ago after church we were playing outside. Looking at these photos reminded me of 2 things...One-Sarah's hair is FINALLY getting long! (After her own lovely haircut about 16 months ago, it's an accomplishment!) And Two-she's getting SOO tall! She TOWERS over the other 4 yr olds and some 5 yr olds in her preschool class! So far apparently, she's not fitting the asian stereotype as far as height goes!

In this photo, she's making the Chinese character, DA (which means BIG!) Last summer, she took a Chinese class for toddlers and she learned this. Cute.
