Then and now....

Vietnam - September 2006

Baltimore - 2009

Baltimore

We just returned from Balitmore where we met up with Karl, Maria, their daughter Wesleigh, and Maria's parents. Todd and I first met Karl and his father-in-law 3 years ago in Vietnam. It was wonderful to see the girls together again:)


We went to the Baltimore Aquarium....









stayed in the Sheraton....



and went to the children's museum.









We also met up with Uncle Blake and Aunt Alison for lunch at PF Changs:)

Our first of many....

recitals, that is!!!Kissing up to the teacher:)
Bringing ducky to dancing.



Thanks for the green tutu, Aunt Kristin!!!
"WELCOME TO OUR SHOW!!!" Notice Isabella's name written in chalk on the sidewalk:)




No, I did NOT put those green tights on her...they were a gift from the dance studio for their "Under the Sea" performance today.







Given that this was her first performance, Isabella did amazingly well. She twirled when she should have skipped and skipped when she should have twirled but she looked adorable and that is all that matters, right??

We are off to Baltimore tomorrow to meet up with a family we met in Vietnam. They were also there adopting a baby girl (from a different area and different agency). We haven't seen them in 3 years:) It should be a fun weekend!!!
