Last Thursday was the first day of Chinese New Year, and Tziporah and I took advantage of the holiday by visiting Sinbad's Market to buy some of our favorite spices: Iraqi curry and Tandoori spice. "Belle" wasn't having as much fun as I was.
She perked up when we went to Oh Mai for lunch. She was pretending to take pictures of her food with her "phone." So funny!
Next stop, the Asian market on 9th south. I bought some New Year candy and red envelopes, as well as food for our festivities later.
The party that night was hosted by Scott and Liese Checketts, and it was really fun. Melanie Scarlett started a playgroup where some of the girls Xanthe's age get together one Friday night a month. It's fun because they're getting to know each other better, now that they play together more than once a year. The little guy in the front on the right just arrived in the states. His brothers are the boy next to him who has albinism, as well as the tall guy in the back. All the families are so neat, and it's so much fun to be part of their group. We are blessed by the friendships we have through adoption.

I'm just catching up.... Ari's talk was beautiful. Her energy for "going and doing" reminds me of you. The dance sounded fun. I can just picture Scott scouring through music and reminiscing about a tune. Tiz cracks me up with her princess attire and priceless faces you're able to capture on your phone. So funny. Her wedding video is going to be epic. :)
