Incredible!!!
So sorry that you can't see this any closer. It was great! These plate-spinning Chinese performers were quite animated and they originally began with plates spinning on poles on this table and then added wash tubs on higher poles above them and THEN spun plates on the table below and kept them going. The crowd was on their knees or heels just waiting for one to fall and break. But, they didn't...............so fun.
I love this woman..........
I met Izabela actually online through our adoption agency's Yahoo support group. Ever since - she has touched my life and heart. I think Rachel will be very close to her and hers and Phil's - soon to be in their arms' - daughter.

Looking through a Griffith Observatory Microscope with the help of Baba.
Microscope donated for this Moon Festival.
Tonight's Moon.............
Rachel looks for this EVERY night. What a special time for a Celebration. And this year's first with good friends like Izabela and Phil made it all the more special.
I say this to my Princess almost every time she sees the moon:
"I see the moon and the moon sees me. God bless the moon and God bless me."
Good Night Moon..............

Rachel on Gotcha Day in Guangzhou 8/28/2007
Rachel would not even look at us on the day we got her. She was listless and we put the rattler in her hand for the photo. She didn't play with her toys or smile for atleast 3 days. What a very looooooooooong 3 days.
Rachel on Anniversary of Gotcha Day 8/28/2008
There are no words........only tears as I post this & as I have lived but here I really get to see the comparison.
One very proud Mommy & Baba
xoxoxo
Too much fun...........
Here Rachel is trying to catch up to Mommy to give her a tickle............ But, she is too tickled to run herself.
"Panda wanna ride the Surry?"
Baba got the Panda Package when he made the reservations for hotel stay. It included a limited edition from Build a Bear 2008 Olympics Panda..........quite appropriate don't you think since Princess and Panda are both from China?
"Hello room service,
Yes, I would like a cookie & some juice, to be able to watch Barney Dora, Noddie, Caiou, The Teletubbies, Spongebob and Jack's Big Music Show on ALL TV channels, (NO dateline, No go green or save the Earth/Planet, home improvement or cooking shows!!!). I would like 24/7 access to the swimming pool and hot tubs, and my own personal elevator to ride when ever I please. No, that will be all for now.
Thank you,
Princess Rachel"
