Not Katie, but Chao Yan

As I write this, Katie has been home for a little over a week. We have talked it over, and she feels strongly that she would like to be called by her Chinese name rather than Katie. It is something special that she has from China, and she likes it very much. Chao Yan (pronounced "Chow-Yen")means "outstandingly good, colorful, and beautiful". So while her legal name is Kathryn Lucille Chao Yan, she will call herself Chao Yan.

If you go to her school and have been reading this blog, please call her by her Chinese name, Chao Yan. THANKS!!
