Iris's arrival

Iris Yixuan Lin joined our family at 11:25 am on May 16, 2010. We are so blessed to have her. Iris loves to smile and she smiles a lot

Heidi likes to pat Iris and watch her, esp. when we change her diapers.
A beautiful kiss

What I've been up to recently

I've been at home with my grandparents for about a month now. I will start my new school on June 1st. During this month, we visited many parks and interesting places.

daddy's graduation

Daddy defended his dissertation back in March. We attended his hooding ceremony 5/8. You can tell I was a little nervous in the picture; that's because I didn't really like his black gown.

Picking strawberries

Saturday morning we went to Cottle farm to pick strawberries. My grandparents came to visit us a week ago from China, so the 5 of us went together. This year, the stawberris are so big, sweet, juicy and fresh. We plan to go again a couple of weeks later!
