Lovely March - Renaissance Festival alive and well.  We enjoyed seeing Twig the Fairy, jousting...but especially the stockades where Maddie was doused twice with water for being "naughty" (never).  She was all giggles - such a great sense of humor that one.

We also bid farewell to buddy Brandon who is off to Singapore with his family.  A great time had by all at Chuck E Cheese with her TKD peeps.

February - another fun month.  We took a splendid field trip with Maddie's kindergarten class to World Wildlife Zoo - such a fun place.  Maddie and I finished her 2012 Dragon Mask.  She continues to go whiz-bang with Taekwondo and is loving it!!  We celebrated Valentines Day with our favorite Chinese dishes.  Maddie eats with chopsticks perfectly :)  Her favorites are Chow Mein and Orange Chicken.  Our favorite is her.

Madison sandwiched between her people Rylan and Kael.



Pete the Cat with us for the weekend from school.  Of course he had to be dressed up for our outing.

So - 2012 started off with our typical watching of the Rose Bowl in hometown of  Pasadena, CA.  Can't wait until Madison is old enough to volunteer with Mom to decorate floats.  She had fun with friends, playing with Legos, TKD (began as a blue-belt), swimming, beginning to construct out 2012 "dragon", spending time with family, seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts Group from China with Poppa...and bringing the year in happily. I continued to love my work - more so than ever and where I work. Madison continues to be healthy, happy and spunky!!
