Olivia's sporting her new rollerblades, dress and lei, here! We spent the day at the zoo with family: I wish I could use that font (pharmacy, see above) in this text!
Welcome Thumper and Twinkle (with Olivia) to our family! We got them just yesterday.
Happy 5 birthday ! we wish we could try that strawberry cupcake. Are those new bunnies ? Our dog is in the kennel since we got here & we'll pick him up this friday (b'cuz we suppose to move in to the house on Friday). She misses her dog very much. BX here is 2 stories high (fancy). I'm still adjusting to this new place & culture. Jna is having a hard time & becoming defiant. hope it's only temporary.I just feel bad for the china earthquake victims. I don't really pay attn about what's made in china or not.
