This picture of Kaeli and her friend Lee, warming up for their performance at the Tacoma Dome Asian New Year Festival, was printed in the Tacoma News Tribune, our local daily newspaper. She was quite pleased to be in print! The girls in the background are also from Kaeli's Chinese school, waiting for their turn to perform.

Kaeli & Clams

Kaeli loves steamed clams, and has become quite an expert on them. She knows how to eat them like a pro, and critiques them at the end of the meal. So far her favorites are served at Harbor Lights, where this picture was taken.

Fancy Nancy Party

One of Kaeli's favorite book series is "Fancy Nancy", about a little girl who loves everything fancy. Our library hosted a Fancy Nancy Tea Party recently and all the little girls attending got dressed up in their fanciest. Mama bought this dress for Kaeli at the Asian New Year Festival at the Tacoma Dome this January and NaiNai sewed a beautiful short sleeve top for it to make the strapped dress a little warmer. Everyone had a marvelous time, including Kaeli!

Our Newest Reader

Kaeli is learning to read in kindergarten and doing wonderfully! She loves to read each night at bedtime for a few pages and then hands it over for someone else to finish. She is also calling out letters for words on signs as we're driving and asking what they say. It's an absolute delight listening to her read to us!

BFF - Best Friends Forever!
