We are so happy to have daddy back from the Philippines. Below are some things MeiLing did to pass the time.

MeiLing lost her deck of cards and decided to create her own set. To make sure she made the right ones and ended with a deck of 52, she kept a very close watch on her list and crossed off each card as it was made.

MeiLing's house
I guess the lastest change in the household is MeiLing's artwork. We have gone from the 2 dimensional "this is a red elephant" stage to some 3 dimensional stuff that she's done all her own. I don't attempt to understand how her mind works but just look appreciatively and make the appropriate comments. Every mother thinks her child's artwork is genious and I'm no exception. It's my job. She put everyone in their beds (she of course is on the top bunk in her room) what you can"t see is the little sister image on the bunk below. Lest you think the family all shares the same room, she designated rooms by drawing on each wall.
