Our teenager, 6th graderAthena's first band concert was this evening. She has been playing the Flute for a mere 9 weeks. She is an absolute natural. Her inner and outer beauty really shine.
"Gorgeous" no other words for it!
The fall semester has begun at the Chinese Language School coupled with the back to school Mid-Autumn Moon Festival.


We have officially been invited to have our 'prints' taken for Bella's adoption to proceed ...and the appointment is just around the corner. :)
Today was our last post-adoption Social Worker visit from Jan, our dear friend and adoption SW. Today also just happens to be Chinese Moon Festival. James bought moon cakes from our local Asian grocer. *Wishing I'd taken pictures of the visit, oops for afterthoughts. We had a great evening of moon cakes, tea and lots of stories of this past year with our two newest and oldest kids to share with our SW. We loaded her up with pictures to include for the final Ch!N@ post-adoption update. The kids had a great year in pictures. Don't worry she will be our Clinical Social Worker for Bella's adoption as well...so we will still see her. :) Jan is like an extension of our family with all her strengths, concern, intuitiveness and blessed help. The evening went well, everyone interacted including the boy, and we had a great final visit and a wonderful Moon Festival.
We received an update on our littlest lotus flower...
