How to recap 3 weeks?

I have so much to catch up on, I don't know where to start. Here are just 4 photos (all I can post quickly from Picasa) from a great visit from Aunt Ellen, Cousin Elijah, and Auntie/cousin Sarah. More to come.

Hannah got ahold of the camera

Scene: "nap" time
Setting: Mom and Dad's bedroom (with an excursion into the bathroom)

Prologue: I found the camera on, with the shutter open and zoom out after Hannah had "napped" in our room one afternoon.

Review: Not only did she manage to find the matches in our bathroom, she photographed herself playing with them (though not lighting them). Nice.

What follows is the ABRIDGED version of her photographic essay.

MORE cousin fun!

Hannah talking to Daddy on the phone (been in the US for last 2 weeks)--is this a picture of things to come? She reminded me of a teenager!

Ellen and Elijah are here!

A couple quick pics from our visitors:

Our first week has been low key since the Huangs are adjusting from jet lag. They have been wonderful playmates and great troopers with the huge time change. We look forward to more adventures when Daddy returns and Cousin Sarah joins us next week.
