After much thought, I've decided to come back to Blogger for Sarah's blog. I really did like Wordpress and what they have to offer, but I enjoy the basic blogger style right now. However, I can't come back to this blog exactly due to running out of bandwidth, SO, from now on Sarah's blog will be at: www.meimeiadventures.blogspot.com
Check it out, leave a comment, and be sure to update your links and subscriptions to continue following over there. :)

We were walking out of the grocery store and it was raining outside. Sarah rolls her eyes and says, "Uhh, my hair!" We get into the van and I ask her, "What about your hair, Sarah?" She replies, "It's sick... like icky!" I guess she has heard me say that about my hair before after being in the rain!

While teaching Sarah subtraction, I was using little toys to represent the numbers. There were 3 and I asked her what is 3 minus 2 . Sarah responded with "No! MINE IS two, yours is one!" :-) Instead of using 'minus' I now use 'take away', and she gets it right away! What a smart little girl, she keeps us all laughing!

She had a baton that she got at the dollar store. It was liquid filled and she wasn't too careful with it. In fact, she liked to bang it against things like the walls and doors. We told her it was going to break if she wasn't more careful with it, but she didn't listen. One day, it did break. Liquid started pouring out of it. It had to be thrown away. She came in the room, saw it in the garbage, and told Mom, "But that's been in the family for years!" (Actually, she had it for about three days maximum.)

While driving in the car with the windows rolled down, the wind was blowing on Sarah in the backseat. Sarah was upset about it and said:
"This is no time for drama drama drama. My hair is blowing!"

Sarah Evangeline LuHua, 4 years old

June 11th was our little princess's 4th birthday! It is so hard to believe that Sarah Lu is now FOUR years old!!

Rachael made her the most beautiful Princess cake. It was a pink and purple castle with turrets, and it was just stunning!

We had a Princess themed party for The Princess Sarah Lu's birthday celebration. The table was set in all Disney Princesses while her wrapping paper was Barbie Island Princess (one of her very favorite movies).

Her card was a singing Ro (Barbie Island Princess) card. She just held her card and danced to the music; it was adorable!

Opening her Belle Barbie from Yashi.

And her Littlest Pet Shop Playhouse from Chrissy.

Opening her pink bubble wand, the puppies wanted to help! While she was opening one end, both Wesley and Lilly started opening the other end all on their own!

Playing. One of her presents was Barbie Taffy Dog and Puppies. Every time we would go to the store since March, she has seen that toy and said, "I really want this for my birthday!", and so of course, that was one of the first things we knew we had to get for her. When she opened it, she squealed, ran around the room holding the box and said "This is just the present I wanted!" It was the sweetest thing!!!

Happy Birthday my beautiful 4-year-old mei mei!
And Happy 18 months Gotcha!

Tomorrow, June 11th, is Sarah's 4th birthday! Her presents (at least most of them) have been wrapped (in Island Princess paper), her cake has been made- a gorgeous princess castle made by Rachael! Her birthday dress, a pink "fairy" princess dress, is hanging up waiting and a special call (from Sarah's favorite princess) is all set up. Tomorrow is a very special day, and I can't believe she is 4 already and having her second birthday home! Click here to see her birthday celebration last year.

Birthdate: June 11, 2004

Size: 4T, 36 lbs, 41 in. tall, size 9 shoes
Favorite color: Pink!
Middle names: Evangeline LuHua
Nick names: Sarah Lu, LuLu-Belle, Goose, Buddy, Missy Moo
What she wants to be when she grows up: She told me this the other day, "When I'm 16 I'm gonna be a SINGER! And I'm gonna wear dresses and sing!"

Favorite foods: Watermelon!!! She can never get enough watermelon! When we got our first watermelon of the year (memorial day) I lost count on how many pieces she had at 7! She also adores other fruits, along with salmon, roast beef, and mashed potatoes. She said at lunch the other day that spinach was her "favorite" (but she usually calls everything her favorite when she is happy and I can't remember her ever liking spinach before;-))

Favorite game: Currently it is what she calls "the car game" aka "Life" She is pretty good at playing it and understanding the rules- most of the time, she loves the part where you get married and the places that get you a baby, she also thinks when you land on the places with the plane logo that it means you get to go to China and bring your baby home, so now we play this way! Another favorite game is "Duck Duck Goose" She also loves to pretend. Everyday she is someone else. She wants people to call her this and she stays in character for a good part of the day. Usually it is a Barbie Princess. Today she was "Nori" from Barbie Mermaidia.
Favorite toy: A couple weeks ago Daddy was in the Disney Store with Sarah and she fell in love with a stuffed Bambi toy. Daddy bought it for her and it's been close to her ever since. She sleeps with her "baby deer" every night.Other favorite toys include:

• A Carter's doll that has her name embroidered on the bottom by Mommy and we sent to her while she was in China and were lucky enough to get it back on Gotcha!


• A Bitty Baby that I got for her before she came home and gave to her last year on her birthday, she calls her Imagin.


• A Disney Princess Aurora Doll from Rachael.

Favorite book: 101 Dalmatians. She wants this read to her at least once every day, although she wouldn't mind if she could get it more than that! It takes at least fifteen minutes of straight reading to get through. Lots of pages with a couple paragraphs on each page. It's a long book, and I'm surprised she is able to sit through it. She loves puppies, so I think that is why she loves it so much, but I also think Curella De Vil fascinates her... hmm... ;)
Favorite movie: She absolutely adores Barbie Island Princess with Ro and Barbie Princess and the Pauper with Annaliese and Erika.
Favorite TV shows: Little Einsteins, Max and Ruby, Dora, Diego, Wonder Pets, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch, and Little Bill
Favorite Disney Princess: Aurora!!

A little more about Sarah: When people first meet Sarah, the first thing they almost always say is: "Wow, she is really smart!" And they are right! She is constantly amazing us with how smart she is. She is also very energetic and likes to be on the constant move. She loves going to playgrounds and can spend hours just running and playing. She is very passionate, determined- and strong willed. She is also very sweet, loving, and friendly. She loves making friends and is rarely ever shy. She is so full of personality and very dramatic. She also loves to be funny and loves to make people laugh. Here are a few "silly" pictures of Sarah Lu, our little miss personality! I'm so blessed to have her as my little sister!
