Lily has a new friend, Nathan, who just came home to his adoptive family from Vietnam right before Easter. He is such a cutie. Nathan's mommy made Lilymei's birthday cake back in January. It looks like Nathan is not too sure of Lily yet. Don't you just love those hats?!

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
I thought I would snap a few pics of Lily wearing her Chinese outfits since it is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. To my dismay, Lilymei has outgrown all of the traditional Asian clothes and shoes I purchased for her while we were in China. Fortunately, the Andersen Officers' Spouses' Club has a gift shop on base that carries lots of Asian items. I tried to stock up on various sizes of clothing for Lily for the next couple of years. Here is a sample of the items I purchased....

Lucky #7
7 Days to go until we fly to Beijing! Somebody pinch me! Today has been a productive day; I have all of the clothes I'm bringing for Lilymei folded and ready to go. I have most of our meds in one location~just need to add those last minute items. I have the books, toys, and stuffed animals (Thanks Patti!) ready to go. I started to assemble the gift bags for the orphanage director, notary and registrar, our CHI coordinators, and the nannies. I still have a few things to pick up to complete the gift bags. Thank goodness for the AOSC gift shop!
The plan for this evening is to run to the BX (our Walmart/Target/whatever you want to call it) and pick up some lightweight socks, diapers, swim diapers, and wipes. I also want to stop at the commissary (grocery store) and get some Goldfish snacks, Crystal Light on-the-go packets for bottled water, and more Ziploc baggies (thanks for the tip Monica!).
Whew!!! The next couple of days are going to be crazy busy and I won't be home much. The scouts are going rock wall climbing Thursday afternoon and on Friday the boys have their music lessons and I have a manicure/pedicure appt. in the afternoon. Will I be ready by next Wednesday? I doubt it. That's ok though, I'm gettin' on that plane anyway!
7 more days until we leave! 11 days until we get Lilymei!
