http://parentingadoptedchildren.blogspot.com/2009/02/february-news-not-so-cheerful.html
The butterfly princess and Lil Miss Ladybug. Saturday, February 7, 2009. In Search of Spring. They are the sunshine in my day, and the best things that ever happened to me. This has been a particularly difficult winter as the three of us have had a myriad of illnesses ranging from sinus infections to bronchitis. If only spring would get here. Then at least, going outside would be more bearable, and the cold season will be beyond us. Hope you're getting outside today. It's beautiful! Welcome to my blog.

The butterfly princess & Lil Miss Ladybug: Chinese Dresses
http://parentingadoptedchildren.blogspot.com/2009/01/chinese-dresses.html
The butterfly princess and Lil Miss Ladybug. Friday, January 23, 2009. The lovely dresses my daughters are wearing in the main photo were purchased at Lucy's in Guangzhou, outside of the White Swan. How I wish Guangzhou wasn't a 16 hour plane ride! If it were closer, I would go back and buy my daughters more lovely dresses. If anyone knows where to purchase Chinese dresses here in the United States, please let me know. January 23, 2009 at 6:18 PM. January 24, 2009 at 11:17 AM. January 24, 2009 at 10:21 PM.

Today, I am working in a middle school where I get to see kids participating in gym class every day. Get to see you ask? Saturday, February 7, 2009. In Search of Spring. Welcome to my blog.
