Day 1 in California

Yesterday we arrived in San Jose and went straight to Jodi and Dan's house. Jodi and Dan are doing better than I would have expected but that is because they are so distracted with all the arrangments for the funeral. We have spent much of the time making photo boards as Jodi is a wonderful photographer and has thousands of photos. The two hardest times have been going out to buy the clothing the Matteo will be viewed in at the funeral. The most difficult time by far was being with Rocco (his twin) as he picked up each of the framed photos of his brother and asked in his own way where he was. He looked behind the photos expecting or more importantly hoping to find his twin. Callie has been a great distraction for Rocco and Gabby and Alexa has been such a super help to her Godmother Jodi decorating the photo boards. I have taken a few pictures and will post them. I will hopefully have the time to write tomorrow after the funeral and viewing.

Justice model

My mom, Sean, Seana, and I went to justice and there was a big sale so my mom bought the t-shirt and skirt. Then Sean said since I loved the hat and gloves he would get them for me. So once I got home he took some photos of me. We took 6 pics but loved this one. By Alexa

NBA and China

The NBA continues to be a hit in China.  This article ran in the Shanghai Daily last week.  The "cheerleader" concept is relatively new in China (I think).  This appears to be a pretty big deal here.  The fact this received so much attention in the local paper is the humorous part.
