Pink is the name Eleri has given her little pink blanket. She got it when she was born from the Texas cousins, Mac & Pat. Pink is the one item she sleeps with every night. Pink at one time was fuzzy on one side and silk on the other. Now, Pink has been repaired […]

Mimi had given the girls each a Martha Stewart craft kit of “Creepy Creature Decorations” for their birthdays – the night before we left America. It looked like a fun Halloween project so I threw them in the bags being packed for Shanghai. With Jim in the States for two weeks, I picked a […] |
