Hi everyone!We missed posting for Halloween since Emily was sick for 10 days with a fever and a bad cold. She was invited to 5 Halloween parties and made it to only one, sigh! What a bummer. Sounds hectic, but it was so exciting to have so many invitations at the first Halloween she could really enjoy. Here she is at the library with her friends.
Next, we prepared to travel to Orlando for a reunion of 150 adoptive families from our adoption agency! Three of the eight families in our travel group flew in for the reunion. Friends and adoptive parents Linda and CJ Vocu and their daughter, Lia, visited us just before the reunion. Here's a slideshow from their visit to the house, and a re-celebration of Halloween just for the girls.
It was great to see them again, and then see the other two families! The girls got along great. The reunion itself was amazing, seeing so many Chinese children in one place. A 5-year old Chinese girl ran up to us in the hotel lobby, staring and Emily and Lia and exclaiming, "hey, they look like me!"
Take a look at the slideshows, a mix of photos from the Sheraton Safari resort and Disney World. All the Chinese girls in the photos are from our travel group.
Take care, everyone,
Caroline
