Photo Catch-up

Here are some photos we've picked out to share. Some date several days back, even before Hannah Dong En. Some are more recent.

We've mentioned that because Benjamin is a caucasian child, and a fair-skinned, fair-haired one to boot, he often has celebrity status here. Many Chinese people think he is a great novelty and so cute. At times the paparazzi catch up with him. Once one person is "brave" enough to ask for a picture, a few others usually gather round to watch or ask for their turn. This photo is from the day we went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

Cute or what?





Cute overload. Nap time.




Playing with cars.



Yesterday we borrowed a stroller for Dong En. She was excited to see this statue.

In addition to the great adventure you are all having, does Hannah Dong En have a sense that you are hers, that you are all family?

Ben appears to be so cool. His little sister appears to have a strong, playful spirit.

I'm still in awe of how well you and Jay are meeting this challenge, with such grace.

Your pictures are great!

Love,

Aunt Linda
