the boys’ turn

Today our Chinese New Year festivities continued.



It was the boys’ turn.



And, thankfully, the sun decided to show itself today.



Not only that, but the temperatures were in the 60’s.

I’ll take a day like that any day I can get it.



Decked out in their new silks, the boys were ready to go.

All they needed was some well placed spit to keep their hair from sticking up excessively.



Ahhh.

The joy of boys.



And on this day, they were extra pumped to be wearing their Chinese outfits.



They had a little extra “cha” in their Kung Fu Panda moves.



Sorry, I wasn’t able to capture their sweet moves on film.



The goofy grins will have to do.

    All I could see were those beautiful straight little feet. I remember Jude’s club feet from Gutian pictures as you picked him up a month before I picked up my daughter there. He was walking on the outside of his precious little ankles in the video and photos you had on the blog. (Umm yes I checked it for a glance of my little treasure every single day of your trip in 2007 and you had some yea!). Great job on the castings! Such a testament to the difference that can be made with treatment. So even though the silks are handsome, I am still praising those toes!

    Wonderful pictures! You are lucky to have temperatures in the 60’s this time of the year!
    Where do you buy their silks?

    I love how much they love each other! How amazing that they have each other! I also have to say that I am SO jealous of your sunshine and warm weather. The pollution here is killer in the winter and my lack of vitamin D is starting to get to me. So just seeing the sun rays made me feel a little better! 🙂
