Welcome!

My niece joined the family on July 12th, 2010. This special young lady's mother is my younger sister, which in classic Chinese culture makes me her Jiu Jiu (舅舅) -- thus the title of this blog. Here I intend to semi-regularly post reflections, thoughts, stories, and assorted whathaveyous pertaining to our trip to China, adoption in general, and (mostly) watching my niece grow up. Since the web is a very public place, I will attempt to maintain my family's privacy while telling the story... but I invite you to follow the blog and come along for the adventure!

Nope, I Haven't Stopped Blogging....

...but things have been a little wild lately and my laptop's been a royal PITA.  (For example, I spent close to 3-1/2  hours today merging all three mystery accounts into one... and then another 2 hours UNdoing all the work because none of the software licenses would transfer properly... I'm talkin' 'bout you, Microsoft...)

Anyway, I have several nearly-complete draft posts on deck, so check back in about 48 hours and new words & pics will indeed appear here!

Thanks for your patience... and I hope you've all finished digging out from Snowmageddon II!
