Betsie, Julia, Abbie These little princesses were all born within 10 days of each other and lived in the same orphanage for their first 10.5 months.
A little over 2 years ago, six families from all over the country shared one of the greatest adventures ever...the journey to China to meet ~ and adopt ~ six orphans from the Hunan Province. Our journey together began with a really LONG layover in an airport in Chicago, followed by two weeks of sight seeing, memory making, scary traffic, assertive street vendors, laughter, prayer, lizards, chicken knuckles, and tears.
On Saturday, for the first time since that great adventure, three of those families spent the day together in the Atlanta, GA area. It was so special to see how the babies, now preschoolers, had changed and grown. It was fun hanging out with people who became very dear to us two years ago. And I was so happy that I got to introduce my other two girls to them as well as meet a few of their family members as well. I can't wait for the next reunion (in Florida, right Heather?)!

don't forget we'll be in SC for a week in October! I'm guessing from the 14th-19th.;)
oh and I love the picture of the girls at the door, I never got any of those! very cute.
It's so wonderful to have ongoing relationships with children (and their families) from your daughter's orphanage. Cute pictures!
