Last Friday we watched the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics on a big screen with our friends at Grace Fellowship (a Chinese fellowship). It was a fun atmosphere, as everyone rose for the Chinese national anthem, cheered for the spectacular moments of the ceremony, and laughed at the incongruous cutting-in of commercial breaks. For the occasion, Esther wore a little outfit that we had bought in Beijing which says "Beijing 2008," along with numerous Chinese characters that I don't understand but assume have something to do with the Olympics. The braiding around the edges is in the Chinese team colors of red and gold.
Here is a picture of her modeling the outfit on our porch, ever-present stick in hand. Perhaps she'll grow up to be an Olympic fencer?
