Welcome to Mak and Jack

This is a journal that irregularly chronicles the crazy life, mishaps and adventures we have had since shortly before we traveled to Chongqing, China in August of 2006 to adopt our daughter (a sister for Jack,) Makena.

Dumb O

Yes, it takes a special kind of mother to take her children to Disney World during spring break (see subsequent posts). The happiest place on earth was more populated than downtown Chongqing. Obviously not recommended for agoraphobes or parents who might worry about losing their kids in such as large crowd (which may or may not have happened to me when I was purchasing ice cream for Makena and realized that she was nowhere in sight.)

While we waited to connect with our friends Barbara and Mia, we had the pleasure of waiting thirty minutes in line for a twenty second Dumbo flight. Jack was a good (slightly disgruntled) sport about having to go on the baby rides but I offered him twenty bucks to change his attitude and he accepted (savvy business man that he is.)


Makena was completely enthralled with her elephant ride and had (the first of several) meltdowns when I told that she couldn't ride it again.


Our little Cinderella posed in front of her evil step-sisters. She wasn't too comfortable with these strange creatures and I pulled her out of the setting before she drop-kicked them.


I saved a bunch of money by convincing Makena that the Ariel nightie was just as beautiful as the Ariel princess gown and she happily wore it for the rest of our never-ending time at Disney World.
