It never ceases to amaze me how total strangers feel the freedom to ask intrusive questions when encountering families with kids adopted internationally. My personal favorite is, "Are you going to TELL her that she is adopted when she grows up?" Hmmmmm....I know that love is blind and everything, but won't it be just a little bit obvious? By far the most popular question being, "Is she adopted?" Someday I think it would be funny to respond by saying, "Why no, her father and I are both Chinese" just to catch the look on their face. Anyway, here we are in the practice of becoming Chinese.
The dumplings were a little bland and started to fall apart in the boiling water, but we ate them anyway
Yes, I know my children look thrilled to be participating in this cultural activity
This year Chinese New Year happened to fall on NiNi's birthday (Jan 26th). She wore her Chinese dress to preschool that day and brought in some red bean buns that I got at the Asia Mart.

Happy Belated Birthday to NiNi!! The dumplings look yummy! We're hoping the 3rd try will be the charm and we'll get them just right.
