Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

We made a trip to the zoo too.

A day at the beach.

All ready to go. Thumbs up!
Enjoying a float in the Pacific ocean.

A few pre Hawaii photos

Here are a few pre-Hawaii photos. We had a few really nice days and got to the beach to train for our trip. Here Isla is sporting a look not seen since the early eighties.

Cousin Liam was a bit less retro and quite happy to keep the water coming for the sandcastle creations. Our friend Pawel braved dirty diapers and all to babysit Isla and let Barb and I have some time to exercise together.

Here Isla is ready for the last day of the ski season at Diamond Peak. She ended the season with a huge day, eight runs. She was able to stand and ski on her own this season. We started to learn pizza and french fries too. Next season should be a really good year (snow permitting).

Hawaii Pictures coming soon...

Here is a teaser. More to come soon...

Finally an update. We are all doing very well though Barb and Isla were sick most of last week. It was a beautiful Saturday today but we are bracing ourselves for a couple days of rain (snow level at 8000ft). That ought to be lovely for the skiing. :(

Here are a few recent pictures. At the beginning of February we celebrated Chinese New Year with the many other families who have adopted Asian children. Her is a picture of Isla with two of her good friends.
Two weeks ago one of Isla's good friends stayed with us for a whole week while her parents traveled to Taiwan to adopt her little brother. Both of them did very well especially since neither had spent so much time with another kido before. Here are a couple pictures from that time.
