Chinese New Year

Troy and I are planning to attend the Chinese New Year celebration in Lexington, KY this coming Saturday at the Explorium and Lexington Children's Museum. We will learn about Chinese music and dance. There will be Chinese performance artists to watch, and we will also participate in the art of calligraphy and papercutting. We plan on taking our niece, Whitney, and nephew, Dylan, so that they can learn about Karsynn's culture, too. Yesterday, we attended another parent workshop in Lexington at AHH. It was dealing with travel to China and cultural sensitivity. It was extremely helpful and very interesting. We want to be as prepared as possible for our trip to Karsynn's homeland, so that we do not do anything to shame or disgrace her culture and people. We've also been in touch with another couple who have the same Log In Date, and possibly will travel with us to China. They seem very nice, but we have not met in person, yet. It will be nice to get to know them. Please keep sending up prayers that China will soon speed the referral process back up, again.
