Hello A-da!

The proud grandfather...can you see the resemblance?

My father, who came from L.A. this weekend, adored Annie. I asked if she reminded him of me and he quickly responded, "Ooohhyesss...it's just like going back twenty years ago..."

"Everything is similar." he went on. "How you check her to see if she's still breathing when she's sleeping...we did that too!"

Annie loves her A-da (a grandpa name he came up himself because the traditional Chinese Gong-gong sounded "too old"). She smiled for him quite a bit. He even did magic tricks for her! ...well, ok, for Joel and I. When she gets older, though, she'll be proudly telling other kids, "I bet your grandfather's not a magician!"

Wow our little girl is getting big!
