marveling at moss

When we adopted Nedy, we traveled with 3 other families who were also adopting children.  Our four girls spent their first year+ together before we met them in China.  Over the years, we've been able to meet up with 2 of the other 3 families fairly regularly...

My Mom, the kids and I went to Clearwater, Florida February 20-25.  For me, this meant long days in hotel conference rooms with an occasional escape to the (relative) warmth outside.  For them, it meant non-stop shell collecting, sand castle building...

Earlier this month, Nedy and Kam decided they wanted to be mummies for Halloween.  Nana even cut up old white sheets into strips for the occasion.
And then the Sunday of Trick-or-Treat both announced, "We don't want to be mummies anymore."  Yeah.  So, apparently they discussed among themselves that being wrapped up from head to toe might inhibit movement and make going to the bathroom a challenge...
