For Rose:

Today Grandma Hatch was telling Kate about the Olympics in China. Kate came to me to show me the sports section with its pictures of China, and said, "This is China and I am going there someday to be in the Olympics." "You know, " I said, "Lachlan is from China." "She went to China!!??" Kate exclaimed. I said, "No, not WENT to China; she came from China. That's where she was born." "Rose had a baby in China?" she replied. "Well, no..." I started, but Kate interrupted with, "...at the Olympics?" Okay, if giving birth was an Olympic sport those FLDS women would be in a medal sweep every single time, but back to the story..."No, Kate, not at the Olympics. Another lady grew Lachlan in her tummy, but when she was born that lady gave her to Rose so that Rose could be her mommy." "Will you give me away to a different mommy?" Kate worried. I reassured her that she was stuck with me, but obviously a second debriefing will be necessary to fully explain the matter of international adoption. I laughed and laughed, but I will say that Kate is very jealous of Lola's travels. xoxo
