Chicago 2010: Crown Fountains photo roll

Yup. This was Kevin's favorite part of our weekend trip! Henry, We missed playing in the fountain with you this year. Hope to meet up with you next time!

Chicago 2010: kiddos photo roll

After lunch on Saturday at Lao Beijing in Chicago's Chinatown, our group Taiwan adoptive families rounded up all of our children for a group photo at Chinatown Square. Getting a group of toddlers to sit down and all look at a camera is a lot like herding cats.

Kevin made a friend! He and Tyler hit it off with silliness and high fives.

Isn't little Miss T just the sweetest thing?!?!









I know, little Miss T. Tyler's hair is totally rockin' awesome. I wanted to touch it, too.





Peek-a-boo, post-processed!

Chicago 2010: what a difference a year and a half makes

A year and a half ago on the other side of the world, we stayed at the Grand Hyatt Taipei. One amazing emotional day, we became parents... and then took our baby back to the hotel, stripped her down to her diaper, were thrilled that she allowed us to love on her and play, and then this mama dressed her in the prettiest red dress to photograph this amazing little person.




This past weekend we stayed at a Hyatt in Chicago. It doesn't have the same elegance as the Grand Hyatt Taipei (which happens to be the nicest hotel I've ever... and will ever... stay in), but the clean white linens on their beds look and feel very much the same.

Oh how our Hannah has changed! The baby that liked to jingle keys and beep our noses is now an iPhone app-lovin' toddler.

Oh, yeah. Her daddy thinks she's pretty special, too!!!

Hannah really likes this app. The Baa Baa Black Sheep game keeps her attention like no other.
