Adoptee Bar-B-Q






Last night we went to a bar-b-q for families with Vietnamese adoptees. The group meets every year but usually we are in Sunriver when they meet so we always miss it. It was great to go last night. There were children of all ages. It was great to see happy children and well-adjusted families. Carli and Pearl had a great time playing with water guns, swings and general running around like crazy. Eric and I met some interesting people and it was great to hear all the different adoption stories. At the end of the night, we lit a Vietnamese rice paper lantern that one of the parents brought.

First Day of Fourth Grade (Yes, Fourth Grade!)
















Well, I cannot believe Carli is in fourth grade. When does it slow down? Carli was very excited to be at school today. A lot of her friends are in her classroom-which could be good or bad depending on how social Carli is on any given day.
