Eliza's got a new best friend...Barney, meet Winnie the Pooh! 

So, I'm busy checking off my lists for China this a.m. and Eliza is sitting at the table next to me watching the (original) Pooh movie on this portable DVD player that I borrowed from my friend Marisa to take to China for Meiying.  (I know, can you believe we don't have one of these?)  Who knew Eliza would enjoy sitting here watching her own movie?  She watched the entire movie last night too.  Okay, well back to the list that keeps getting revised...just close the suitcase, Sarah.  Be done! lol 

First day back to school!
September 2, 2009

Ah...memories...
Last year's first day of school!
October 2008

...And the memory of how she matured in just the first month of school last year...
Last November 2008!

I've neglected Eliza's blog and I feel terrible.

Yesterday was Eliza's first day back to school.

Her teachers said she seemed happy to be back.

And that she picked the routine right up again.

There are 8 children in the class this year!

One other girl named Olivia...so Eliza and Olivia, how fun.

Let's hope that Olivia enjoys being as girly as Eliza.

Does she look a year older?

I can't believe it.

She looked so big coming down the school hallway yesterday afternoon.

I've been looking back at our China photos from 2006.

My goodness...has it been 3 years?

So, what am I going to do with my 6 hours of free time now?

Pack for China!!!!

Leaving 9/19...time to get busy.
