Easter weekend

Hi I'm back!  This Easter weekend we had our first camping trip of the year!  It also was Jia's first camping trip!  We were going to Peddar Bay.  With our friends Haley, Hanna,Willow and Meiling.  We have never been there.  When we got there we saw not much space for us to play and there wasn't a little forest like Rathtrevor.  We didn't think we would like being here but we found out that we did.  Jia liked being in the trailer but we had no idea how to put Jia to bed.  The first thing we did was go for a little walk to find our friends.  Mama bought a new stroller so Jia was in her stroller.  We found them making daisey chains.  We stayed there for a little while.  We decided to make a fort.  Our fort looked awsome. It kept falling down so we made a new fort.  Night came and we tried to get Jia to bed but she was just too excited.  So we stayed up until she was almost sleeping.  The next morning we decidied to go for a bike ride at the Galloping Goose Trail.  Jia was so cute in her seat on Dad's bike.  It was a long bike ride but we stoped and had a little picnic.  After the big girls and Meiling went down to explore the cove it was so cool.  We were trying to cross a river but it didn't work it was too far away.  I also got my sandles wet so on the way back my feet were cold.  When we got back to the camp sight Mama deicided to go to Butchart Gardens.  We were going tomorrow with Anna and Abigail.  So we left and phoned them.  They said they would meet us at Crystal Jade.  At Butchart Gardens we had to find 12 bunnys.  It was fun.  The next day it was easter.  Jia was very excited when she found out that she had a basket.  It was finally time for the easter egg hunt!  I was the first to find all of my eggs.  The next day we went home.

February

I'm sick.  I'm tired of being sick.  Guess what?!  Mom is taking just me to Disneyland for my 9th Birthday!  I am so super excited.  I am planning to ride on every single ride.  I'm tall enough this time.  I get to have my Birthday party with Mickey and Minnie Mouse!  How cool is that?!  We've been home with Jia for over three months.  It's going well.  She has grown a lot.  She changes every day.  She's learning lots of words.  This morning Fei taught her boo for peek a boo.  I just love her so much.  My sister is having a polar bear/snowflake Birthday party in a couple weeks.  We're starting to get ready for that.  Mom and Dad are talking a lot about us home schooling.  I want to but I'm afraid I'll miss my friends.  Mom says I have lots of friends outside of school and that we'll meet other home school friends.  We got a Wii for Christmas, I really wanted one.  It's super duper fun.  Mama got a new smart phone for her Birthday, it does lots of cool things.  Mom is also sick and yesterday was her Birthday and she says it was the worst Birthday ever.  We were supposed to go out for a combination Chinese New Year and Mom's 45th Birthday but we were too sick to go.  Now we're all hoping we'll feel better by Sunday and maybe go out for lunch in Victoria for Chinese food. 

New pictures of Jia

This is my baby sister Jia, the picture was taken today!  I got home from school and Mom called to tell us there were new pictures.  I was really excited to see her.  She looks so cute.

Today we got our real classes and I'm with Mrs. Nowicki again with all of my friends, so I'm pretty happy about that. 

Jia

My new little baby sister is named Jia Yu Xin.  Today we are going to Vancouver to sign paperwork saying we're accepting her into our family.  It's pretty exciting.  Right now we are on the ferry, usually we play cards, but today we're blogging instead.  How cool is that?!  The boat is a little bumpy and I'm a little sea sick.  There are lots of babies on board and it makes me think of our baby. 

I'm a Big Sister Again

I'm a big sister X2.  We're getting a baby girl from Jiangxi Province, that's where Fei Fei was born.  I wonder if she'll look like Fei.   Mom says we'll get to go get her in October.  I can't wait.  Hopefully we can see her pictures soon.  I can't believe I'm a big sister again.  I have so much to teach her.  I'm really excited.

Mia

Two days ago Tina passed away, she had cancer.  I'm really, really upset that she got sick and I'm going to really miss her.  Fei and I are staying at Gramma's for a couple of days.  Mama and Daddy picked us up last night and took us to Victoria to look at new baby rats and I found my new baby Mia there, she is 6 weeks old.  She's so tiny and sweet.  She's going to meet Dixie tonight.  Mom is picking us up on her way home today.  I don't know, I think Mom is crazy but she thinks finally after all this time that we are finally going to get the referral for my new baby sister next week.  Avery is at Gramma's today too, it's been fun playing with her today.  Tonight we're going camping at Kissinger Lake, it's Fei's gotcha day on Sunday. 

Tina

We just found out that Tina has cancer.  She is going to die.  She seems fine right now, she has a huge tumor on her back.  I don't want her to be in pain or get scared so Mama and Dad say we'll wait for her to tell us it's time to go and we'll take her back to the vets to die.  Yesterday we packed up to go camping and we think this might be Tina's last camping trip.  I love her so much, I'm not ready for her to go.  We don't think Dixie will like being alone, it's just so sad. 

I'm proud of my sister Fei today because she is riding her bike without training wheels.  On gravel, cement, dirt and grass.  Yehaw!  Great job Fei Fei.
