Homecoming Pics

Thanks to Rebecca I have lots of wonderful homecoming pictures! I will have to label them later as Ellie Bean has awoken from her very short nap at my parents house where I am using their internet. Early Arrivals
Dinnertime! Chik.fil.a anyone?

Strolling with Papa aka waiting.
Waiting.
Still waiting...
Here we come!


Wearing the new necklace my mom just gave me minutes before. It has mother/daughter inscribed on it in Chinese characters and English. She's had it for three years and it needed a polish!



It's good to be home!

Love these pics!

And I have that same necklace that my mother bought me. That makes it all the more special, doesn't it? Kind of full circle. Your mother bought it for you and you wear it for your daughter. Pretty cool!
