These pictures make up for the temporary lull
First of all, Linda is the only person who has asked me about my sign-on "handle", "shochikubailover". Can anyone figure out why I chose that?
Secondly, Hilary, my talented and gorgeous sister-in-law, shared these WONDERFUL photos with me. Now, you may think they are beautiful, and they are. What you don't know is that Hilary is a stellar, professional photographer, and that these photos aren't a reflection of her talent. She is an artist. She happened to have a very challenging day, and only had minimal battery power. So these were shot in a matter of minutes. Imagine what Hilary can do with batteries and time. Amy met her cousins, Alison and Melanie. They were so nice to her. Amy can't wait for their upcoming Bat Mitzvah.

Janet,
What beautiful pictures! Everyone looks so happy. There is such a big change in Amy since she is with you and Don.
I have tried to figure out shochikubailover for a while, but gave up.

Incredible photos of Amy! I didn't know about Hilary's talent with the camera. She's been holding out on us. Seriously, Hilary has captured Amy's beauty and detailed personality with those few shots. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks CA Mildrews! This is Hilary from my side!!!! I don't know how Hiliary M is with a camera! Thanks and Love, Janet
Debbie, Hint: Go to a Japanese restaurant.
Shochikubai, meaning a Chinese style which usually features pine, bamboo and plum tree designs. Therefore, Shochikubai lover.
Nice try Michael. Try again.
What do you mean try again. It is what it is.
Sho-chiku-bai
Literal translation:
Pine-bamboo-plum
How dare you insinuate that I was wrong.
I apologize, dear, intelligent, wordly, sassy brother. You must be refering to this definition of Sho-Chiku-Bai:
The significance of the traditional trio…pine, bamboo and plum blossom… is accentuated on this auspicious occasion. It is a moment of sheer joy and happiness that embraces the household, like a legendary island where Gods of Good Fortune are said to reside.
I only knew of this one:
The most traditional style sake. Perfect pair with Mildly seasoned dishes.

Amy's pictures are indeed beautiful! She is the most precious little girl.
Sure can't wait to see her in person and get a chance to give her a couple of hugs.
We are most lucky to have all of these wonderful little girls and boys in our lives.
Love, Chris
You meant "worldly", not "wordly". I'll bet that socky is wonderful.
