So, I have to admit, I pride myself on knowing a lot about Disney magic, park strategies, tips to avoid long lines, etc. That said, I learned a new Disney crede which I shall state as follows, "just because thy school district has school, does not the rest of the country follow suit." Another way to put this is, "ha, ha, we ended up in Disney when many U.S. schools and colleges had spring break and though we had fun, the crowds (not surprisingly) were not conducive to a relaxing Disney experience." It was truly wonderful to meet up with my mom, brother (who can do a fantastic Donald Duck impression), and his fun, wonderful wife. That said, I learned a big lesson and will never come back at a busy time again......Never!

Off to Disney
Hey, I totally forgot that I can blog from my iPhone. This is a good
thing. Here we go to the airport-- going to introduce Silin to our
favorite mice :) By the way, Minnie is quite well traveled-- I sent
her to China before we got Silin in a care package. Also, today marks
exactly 4 months home with our girl......

Fab Four
I got this today from Grandpa who titled it the Spongebob Fan Club--
That's funny b/c its true that the boys love Spongebob and would
watch it at any opportunity (they are so busy during the week they
hardly get a chance) but Silin......she has no interest in T.V. --
that said, here she is watching Spongebob for a second......is this
my future?

Sibling time
I know that I haven't been writing much lately. I know that there are sometimes times in my life where I write a lot and other times, not so much, and so I suppose this is one of the not so much times. Part of the reason that I haven't been writing is time.....in fact, its most of the reason. I just don't have enough time to do all that needs to get done and so the blog doesn't happen b/c I don't get to it. I think I'm going to try to at least post photos weekly, well, soon, b/c what I need to describe now is Silin's unbelievably bad bang chop (done by Yami with the best of intentions w/o telling me while I was out). I almost started to cry....actually I think I may have started when I walked in to see what he did.....I will put her in barettes, the hair will grow, I know, it will be OK.....but what I can't help but think is that people are going to think I did this to her! Believe me, after my reaction, I can safely say this won't happen again and for that I am trying to be grateful....
Hanukkah has been fun....we played a trick on Isaiah and Emet, pretended to give them a CD, told them it worked on the Wii, then sent them downstairs to the basement (where we keep the Wii) for them to discover Beatles Rockband. They screamed, knocked us over with hugs, and then when we put it on, they both feigned passing out. It was really cute!
So, that's the update....I hope all is well in your neck of the woods and that your holiday season is filled with much love, hope, compassion for yourselves and others, and all that you wish for yourself......
