Week 47

We have been busy.  We went to Hong Kong this weekend, are in the midst of US tax hell, trying to receive a container from China tomorrow and send it plus more to the US on Friday.  Plus Charlotte has just gotten a slight fever starting tonight - yeah, it has been one of those weeks.

Charlotte learned how to sign 'sleep' while in Hong Kong.  So her total signs are nine - mom, dad, dog, eat, milk, more, sleep, airplane, and as of today, grandpa.

Hong Kong was fun - it included Charlotte's first trip to Macau which she was too exhausted (and cold) to enjoy (and it was more or less a bank account closing trip, which is nothing to enjoy).  It was great to see old friends - including Thomas, Em, and Sherry who made the trip to Hong Kong from China and Macau.

I got Charlotte a toothbrush and she likes it a lot.  I probably should have gotten her one 5 months ago but I am not so up on these kinds of milestones.

Let's start with something totally unrelated - here is a picture of a pallet of our tile as it hovers precariously overhead at Matt's office building parking lot.  Two of these pallets are heading to the US:

OK, back to the topic at hand.  Here is Charlotte dancing...

...Not dissimilar to her dancing on her 3rd day of life...

Sporting her "Grandpa Girl" T-shirt with new leg warmers with popsicles on them (you cannot tell here):

The following is a photo series I have called "Sleepful in Macau - Is narcolepsy inherited from the mother?".  The first is at the Oliver's Sandwich shop at Shun Tak Centre in Hong Kong:

And finally, out like a light on the ride back from Macau to Hong Kong:
