Chinese New Year

You may have wondered why I suddenly dropped off the face of the planet for three weeks. Or maybe not, since it doesn't seem to be unusual for me. :-) In any case, with Lizbeth growing so quickly, we decided to spend our two week Chinese New Year holiday in the States catching up with her grandparents.

Once we returned, Lizbeth came down with a 103 fever and stomach flu leaving her miserable and not wanting me five feet away. Even daytime naps took place on my lap.

Finally she woke up today, fever gone and eyes a little clearer. As I speak she is taking a little nap in her crib, finally giving me a few minutes to get up a few pictures.

We had a great trip. Lizbeth was a trooper other than refusing to change time zones. Most nights she was up til between 2:30 and 3:00 AM, which is between 6:30 and 7:00 China time, only an hour off her normal bedtime. This led to a bit of exhaustion, but still plenty of time to enjoy sharing her with the family. She loved all of the attention and I actually think will miss them all. I know I will.

Well, hope you enjoy the pics. To see them full size with comments, click here.
