In the Beginning

I noticed it on the last day of kindergarten.  After the kindergarten promotion ceremony I approached Mrs. Winkleman to thank her for a wonderful school year.  During our conversation she mentioned that she was wishing safe travels for Naysia and I.  At the repeat of her travel hopes I asked what she meant.  She went on to tell me that Naysia had told her we would be traveling to China for the summer.  If memory serves me right the closest we came to China that year was getting a letter from Chai's friend Jin Wen~~who had gone to China for the summer.  Jin Wen returned with a dress for Naysia, which only fueled the fascination.    From age 6 to present day Tenaysia has been enraptured by the Asian culture. 


And if all goes as planned her dreams are about to come true.
