Cinderella Party

Lizzy attended a "cinderella" birthday party, where she dressed up in rags, and got to clean an empty apartment with a dish brush. :) And then they went on a carriage ride (aka tricycle) and got dressed up to go to the "ball".


Here they all are dressed up as princesses! They are so sweet.

This is the birthday girl and one of Lizzy's best friends, Rose. I'm so thankful for their friendship.

A ayi and Hayden

Hayden warmed up to A ayi so quickly, he knew that she loved him!

A ayi and Lizzy

A ayi bought Lizzy and Hayden lots of new clothes. One particular dress she liked so much she bought one for herself.

girl time - getting our nails done!

fun at the playground

A ayi took us out for smoothies (not pictured, they were mango flavored, and cookie and cream)

A ayi

A ayi came to visit the kids for a few days in Tianjin. We did lots of stuff together, but mostly just relaxed and enjoyed having her around. Lizzy had a hard time letting go of the fact that she's staying only for 3 days and not 5 days, but in the end, she had a good time with her.





We miss you A ayi!

Bowling fun

I took Lizzy along with me when we went bowling with a bunch of other girls. 3 out of 20 turns she knocked down some pins to end up with a grand total of 17!! yay Lizzy! The other 17 times her ball fell into the gutter but she just turned around and said, "it was a nice try". I don't know if I'm more proud of her for getting a score of 17 or for being such a good sport about landing in the gutter 17 times.
