Four years ago today in a government building in Hubei China, Miss Minli joined our family. She had a binky tied around her neck with a string (that never came off -- even when she slept) and a bag of spicy potato chips. She didn't cry a bit and has been a delight ever since. She is witty, warm, smart and charming. She loves people and people love her. Earlier this week we were talking about this day approaching. In some circles people call it "Family Day." In others they refer to it as "Gotcha Day." Well I guess she almost got it. Today when I picked her up she announced "since this is my Geisha Girl Day, can I do anything I want?" Oh my, what a girl! Happy Family, Gotcha, Geisha Girl Day, Minli. We love you and can't imagine life without you.

Look at that little Minli! She was so calm that day - and pensive, it seemed. Who'd have guessed how bubbly and hilarious she'd be! Happy Gotcha Day, Minli!
How precious! Did she eat those chips or are they tucked away in a baby book somewhere?
Wow. I'm so glad to discover your blog.
Awww so cute! =) Your daughters are gorgeous!
