We celebrated Valentine's Day @ PF Chang's. We had dinner with my parents on August 25, 2008, the day we found out about Liliah. We thought it would be a great first Valentine together. They were smitten with her & we told them a little of our story. The operating partner came by to let us know that they had taken care of our meal! What a wonderful surprise and blessing - we were blown away at their generosity. Liliah looked so pretty in a red dress that the Anderson's (1 of our traveling buddies) bought her while we were in China. 
She loves to play with chopsticks
Dinner was delicious
More chopstick moves
Eatin' oatmeal & bananas
When the spoon doesn't work, using your hands work too!
Look @ me!!!!!
Success.....I am very pleased with myself.

I would love to be able to meet you and Lilah sometime...half way maybe...I think I remember you living North??
