I would love to be able to do my passport paperwork at the mall!<br /><br />Also, (and I swear I'm not a stalker) I found out that my friend's sister in law works at the girls' preschool. I was talking about something I'd read on the blog and her head perked up all "Who?? They were in my class!".

It's been unseasonably warm so far but we're going to do our very best to order up some snow for your visit!! Hannah saw her first snow when we were in Beijing and she thinks you'll really like it!<br /><br />Now about the passport pics. They're just about the cutest outfits ever! I love Ro's description of her flower and she had it all figured out right down to the green on the bottom and yellow and black on top. They truly are adorable my friend! Hannah will have to up her wardrobe so that she can participate in Fashion Friday too when you're here!!<br /><br />Thanks for braving the mall for us on Black Friday. Now that's a true friend!!<br /><br />Sorry to hear TD is still so sore. Hopefully yesterday was the worst day and that he begins to heal quickly. <br /><br />Love to you all!

So sorry and Godspeed to TubaDad. The girls are just old enough to conceive of real harm. Ouch. You'll have your hands full with them until he's back on his feet and acting normal. <br /><br />I don't know what I'd do, but, as an old ER nurse, I suppose I'd tell my patients to say to their kids in this situation (repeat when they act out or do something out of character), I would say, "He's safe. We're all safe. Accidents happen, and he's OK and he's going to be OK." Repeat for several days.<br /><br />Wishing for a speedy recovery,<br /><br />Indiana LoriIndiana Lorihttp://www.gregandlori.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-74344216723917675482009-12-04T16:06:35.269-08:002009-12-04T16:06:35.269-08:00I am so glad to hear that he is ok.

And follow Dr. Ree's and Dr. Ro's orders, bacon, bacon and lots of bacon.<br /><br />I had emergency surgery (heavy duty kind) on October 27. SS had never been apart from me for more than a few hours for the past fifteen months. She became a completely different child. SS hit her father for the first time and it was not a tap (the girl has a mean left hook). <br /><br />The nurses were wonderful, they allowed SS and my husband to visit at will, and they even spent two nights in the bed next to mine. Still, seeing a parent in any type of discomfort is quite traumatic to little ones. The good news is that SS is finally settling to her old self, and the hitting has stopped. It's good that Ro & Ree have each other to lean on.<br /><br />Can't wait for the girls' Canadian adventure.2china4Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803722404544035782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-51101697387356632452009-12-04T11:51:31.985-08:002009-12-04T11:51:31.985-08:00oh your poor hubby -- that must have ouched. hey,...oh your poor hubby -- that must have ouched. hey, this morning on the yahoo board, I read this and thought of you -- <br />http://www.newsweek.com/id/225492/page/1. twin girls from china adopted by different US families and reunite. awesome and amazing story. gave me goose bumps. love the passport photo differences!Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425036479074701700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-60503731533086588112009-12-04T11:45:35.299-08:002009-12-04T11:45:35.299-08:00Poor Tubadad!!

I think I wrote something about Ree being the little movie star and Ro looking like she was trying to figure out how to solve all the world's problems before lunch. They've grown so much, but they're still so much the way they were. Kids are funny like that.<br /><br />Hope TubaDad feels better soon. And, to answer your question, I believe bacon is the universal holistic healing ingredient. Especially if it's sitting on top of a Kobe burger. (Just a suggestion, for when he's feeling a bit more TubaDad-like again.)<br /><br />~A~The Catharine Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091573659382127496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-81391200604643448122009-12-04T11:08:24.298-08:002009-12-04T11:08:24.298-08:00Love the creativity of your fashionistas.
