The Olympic Spirit

In honor of the Beijing Olympics:



Ok, so not REALLY, but the timing just happened to be perfect! On Friday, the day of the Olympic's Opening Ceremony, we received this cute outfit in the mail from Grandma & Grandpa S. They had just returned from a trip to San Francisco and bought him this little get-up in Chinatown. Thanks, G & G! :) He was ready to show his Olympic spirit!

Speaking of the Olympics -- we are hooked, as usual! We watched only part of the Opening Ceremony (wish we could have seen it all) and WOW was it amazing! When I see another country, such as China, which truly looks beautiful, it makes me want to see more of the world. Something as big as the Olympics makes me realize that we live in such a tiny piece of the world and that there is SO much more out there. I want Bear Cub to know about these "faraway" places, because as I learned from traveling to Russia, the world really isn't such a huge place after all. You just have to make the commitment to explore and be willing to travel. Amazing cultures, people, and scenery, ALL over this great world of ours...I want to dust off my passport and GO!
