She was amazing! She didn't smile alot for the camera,
but the photos turned out really nice.
Here are a few of the 187 that we thought were the best.
Things are going great.

Party Day!
Today was Kate's birthday party. We had it at A Moon Jump 4 U and was it a lot of fun! I don't know who had more fun the kids or the adults? Kate loved to stand in the jumper and have the big kids jump around her. She was very cute and really worked up her appetite for cake...Wednesday, March 12, 2008
The day after her birthday...she walks!
Sorry about the video being sideways....we'll get this straight!
Happy Birthday Kate!
For Kate's 1st Birthday we took her to Oberweis for ice cream. She was very excited and very messy!!! We are all looking forward to her party on Sunday.

We are the Southside Irish
Today was the Southside Irish parade. So we bundled up and headed for Western Avenue. Kate was awesome!! She slept in her stroller for the first half of the parade and then received all the suckers one little girl could ever dream of receiving! Her mother only let her have 2! (I'm so mean) Her birthday is in two days...

Visa cermony
The visa ceremony....
was not what we expected, but was very cool! We went to the US consulate about 45mins away where everything was going to take place. They told us we could not take pictures, but I
brought my camera anyway thinking we could take pics out side with the flag and the building in the background. No such luck! The only US flag was inside the consulate which is a couple of rooms on the 4th floor. Not the big deal place I had imagined.
We sat down with 40 other families waiting for things to begin. We then all filed into a line to receive the brown folder! I didn't know that this brown folder was Kate's ticket to America! She does not become a citizen at the consulate, but the minute they stamp her Chinese passport and open the brown folder at Ohare.
After we received the folder, we were sworn in. We all raised our right hand (grandpa with Kate's high in the air) and took the oath that we were of USA descent and all the information we provided was correct (he said more but I can't remember right now what else he said I got a cold from the other babies)
At that point everyone started clapping and cheering. Was was very neat! Not what I had expected, but very cool non the less.
Maybe the last post until home
love you
