Happy Birthday Little One

SJ at 10 months. The first time we saw her face.
Three of the Xiushan Sisters - Special Friends

Princess SJ

Does this color look good on me?

SJ is three today. I can't believe that our little girl is growing up so fast. It seems like only yesterday that we were traveling to China. She was 15 months when we first met. It seems like SJ was always a part of our family. But somewhere in China, is a mother whose heart is sad and breaking as she remembers the beautiful little girl that she gave birth to three years ago today. She is probably wondering where she is now and if she is doing okay. If only I could reassure her that SJ is very happy and well cared and very much loved.

We had a great party for her birthday. We were visited by two of her SWI sisters (our traveling buddies). It was wonderful to see the girls together again. As soon as AG came through the door, SJ ran over to her and gave her a big hug. She loved playing with them all afternoon. It was a great time visiting with Hal & Angel and Marty and Tammy. What a wonderful birthday and afternoon. Even though it rained and we had to be inside, it was great.
