Last week we visited our friends - Ken, Jamie and their daughter Kyra. After dinner we all jumped on their trampoline. It was so much fun. Ruby just loved the trampoline. I think we may buy her one eventually because she enjoyed it so much. It was also a positive outlet for her high energy :)
Yesterday we made cupcakes. It was the first time Ruby had a cupcake. She really thought it was good. We also rented and watched the movie Spiderwick Chronicles. She loved the movie so much she has already watched it 2 1/2 times in 24 hours. I'm not sure if she realizes we are only renting it. The movie needs to be returned tomorrow, so we'll see how she reacts. The good thing is that she'll also realize there are 1oo's of movies to rent in the future! I think she'll really like movies that have magic because she has shown interest in these types of things since we were in China.
Today we visited the Dragon Boat Festival in Denver. It was a good time, but very hot. Ruby became moody and complained about the heat often. We were hot too. We enjoyed the dancing and entertainment. Unfortunately, we only caught 2 boat races. After leaving the Dragon Boat Festival, we drove to Costco to become members, but didn't realize they only took American Express. We don't use American Express, so we drove across the street and joined Sam's Club instead. Ruby was amazed at all the huge bulk items. We were amazed too! Someone can drop some serious dough shopping at one of these places. I realize you ultimately save money, but there are many temptations.

Tara & Mike,
It's great to see Ruby having so much fun in her new family!
We are about to adopt a girl who's about to turn 7 yrs old in Beijing. We'd like to find out if Ruby knows her, and especially if they were friends and want to see each other again.
Tried to find an e-mail from you on the Beijing Kids group but couldn't find one. Could we ask you to post another message there so we can send you an e-mail about this?
Seeing Ruby blossom in her new life is fantastic. Having been to Colorado a number of times, I don't think she could have been blessed with a healthier or more beautiful place to live!
Isn't it so fun to see Ruby on the trampoline?? Chloe Grace is still a ball of laughter every time she jumps on ours! When I took her to the dr for the UTI, they said she was mildy dehydrated also...which I don't understand because all she'll drink is water! Obviously, I'm still trying to figure this girl out!! I'm glad things are going well for you guys!
Just great.
