welcome
we are overjoyed to welcome our new little one, isabella, to our family. she arrived quickly and smoothly just a couple days after my last post. lovely and perfect. thank you to everyone for all your well wishes! these were taken at 5 days old. many more photos to come…
waiting
dear baby, we have been in shanghai for almost 2 weeks now, awaiting your arrival. popo (your grandma) arrived from the US a couple days ago too. every day we tell you that you can come out now, but maybe you are having too much fun inside mama’s tummy? well let me assure you there...
a new year

U is for Umbrella
it’s been a rainy, dreary week, but seeing this weather-appropriate photo brightens my day a bit. earlier in the year, a friend of mine suggested that we try to make an abc photo book for our kids, of our kids. a personal photo project for fun, for practice, for inspiration. after a pretty good...
halloween, china-style
as you can see, my girls got dressed up as a dog and cow this year for halloween. it was very fitting, as it goes along with their respective chinese zodiac signs. but in reality, i saw the cow costume and thought it was really cute, and went from there. didn’t see many cute dog...
