The Year of the Rat marked our first Chinese New Year with Indigo. We went to a Chinese New Year celebration with several of the other families that traveled with us to China at a mall in Maryland. It was wonderful to see all the girls dressed in their Chinese dresses. The next day we took the Metro and met Pam and Robert with their daughters Elizabeth and Catherine and Ellen with Sarah to attend the New Year's Parade in Chinatown. Afterwards we went to the Chinese Cultural Center. Indigo loved the parade, as well as all the decorations we put up at home to celebrate the New Year. Interestingly she wants a book entitled My First Chinese New Year read over and over again, and especially is interested in the pages related to the parade (such as the Lion Dancers and the Dragon).

Chinese New Year was fun! It was great to see everyone.
It's amazing to compare the picture of the three of you in the lake with the newest pictures of Indigo - what changes in such a short amount of time. It almost looks like a different baby!
