Addie, Tal, and Kristen the day Kristen has to leave...sad! We had so much good-natured fun, like surprise trips to Chuck E. Cheese on a rainy day when there was nothing to do; confusion on math homework; napless hours of constant fun; pitching for the neighborhood boys' baseball game. Kristen loves us and is always caring for us. She's never sitting around doing nothing. Kris, we love ya!

Emma more like her mom everyday. Shopping, doing her mascara, "Getting a bargain!"...she's very moved by the power of shoes. Her mother looks like her, too, so that' their common-ness.

This is Ethan in Destin Beach, FL. We had a ball building sand castles, playing frisbee and playing on the boogey-board. The only tragedy was how bright the sun was (I could hardly open my eyes!). Then we dumped out our wallets at "Fudruckers" just to buy food. Other than that, our three-day vacation in Florida was great!

Here's our tragically beautiful drama queen on her Dora scooter. Isn't she so amazing? Sorry I couldn't flip the pic...my apologies!!!!!!!!!

Chinese steamed fish - my favorite Chinese meal (really - sooo good)
Front area of the Forbidden City

Lisa shopping for her China vase


Big Whitee trying to get a little good luck touch



The spot where David O. McKay dedicated China (just outside the Forbidden City)




This crossing guard would do better to watch the intersection and leave big Whitee alone.
