Miss Behavin

No children were spanked in the following photo documentary.

Subject readies self for devious act.

Subject pleads for amnesty.

Subject makes last ditch effort to show remorse.

Subject comes to grips with forthcoming punitive action and takes it like a big girl.

Noelle looks the way she does because she once again has a cold. Poor baby. I hope she's feeling better for her first Christmas home.

The pink pants she's wearing she pulled out of a "special" drawer that has all her gotcha day things, clothes in. Well she apparently found the drawer and pulled these out. We bought this in China because we didn't have a snowsuit for her and it was VERY cold! Anyway that was January of this year and the pants still fit her the same. She hasn't grown too much in one year : ) She's still a little peanut.

I have to say even when she has a cold or is sick she is still sooo cute!!!

Daddy and Noelle

Noelle meets Jing

I finally took Noelle NiShuai to the Bangor Chinese School to meet Jing.

Jing translated the letter we sent to China in Noelle's care package.

Noelle had lots of fun playing with her two new toys, a drum and tassel. She tried to count to ten in Chinese but only made it to three : )

We had a nice visit and hope to bring her back when she's a little older for Chinese lessons.
