Red eggs and ginger

This weekend Asha had her second visit from her Canadian grandparents. They were amazed by how much she had grown, and how peaceful and alert she was during their visit. Grandpa Colin loved to watch how Asha was able to recognize faces and voices and Ama Lynette loved watching Asha smile. It was so nice to have them down for the weekend, and we can tell that Asha loved the attention and extra love!



On Sunday, we celebrated Asha's one month (well, six weeks) with a traditional Chinese Red Ginger party. Ama Lynette prepared wonderful sticky rice with ginger and red eggs, and the rest of the family ate while celebrating our little quarter-Chinese princess. Asha wore her first ever dress -- a red one to mark the occasion -- with a matching red hat in Ninja style given by uncle Mark. Thankfully for Asha, the party did not include shaving her head, which it would have traditionally included. Asha got to keep her full mop top (none has fallen out yet!) for the approaching winter months.
