An Empress In Dad’s Clothing
So Intense
We went to see our friends, David and Sharon, at the Lotus Chinese Restaurant tonight. After returning home, Carmi and Eliana claimed their spots in the living room floor and started on some bead necklaces.

Eliana does really well at stringing the beads. She's so intense.
