A "zoomed in" version of Maylin

Mark came through for me, as always.

The candles/flower probably opened out, possibly rotated, and played a delightfully "tinny" version of something you'd recognize...but usually not "Happy Birthday."

This is a typical style of cake for China. When we told our students the first year that we have ovens at our home and make birthday cakes...this is what they imagined. I was glad I didn't have any photos of my sheet cakes frosted with canned icing and decorated with M&Ms. 
(Hey, sometimes I make great cakes, too. Just not every birthday.)

  2. She is beautiful!!! It has to be so hard being so close to her, yet not with her yet! I hope the rest of your week in Baotou goes smoothly...and I hope you get to meet our Lilly! :-)

  3. Rebekah, we hear the director or assistant director may have changed, and the contact Amy has is out of town. The friends at the local hospital are working on getting us a date to delivery the clothes, and gifts. I am hoping!!
