Celebrations

This past week has been a whirlwind of big days. Saturday, May 9, marked 5 years since O was placed in my arms. Oh how's she grown and changed. She is a joyful little girl who fills my life with much needed sunshine. It was Mother's Day the day I received O in a hot and steamy unairconditioned room at the Civil Affairs Building in Wuhan. She was bundled in several layers of clothing including a new polar fleece outfit to cover it all. Her shoes were way too big and I lost one on the way back to the hotel in all of the commotion. Here are a few pics of O when we were in China to get her in May of 2004. (E was just 3 years old at the time!)

On Saturday, the social worker came to conduct our 6 month post placement visit for C. Hard to believe it has been almost 6 months!

Then Sunday was Mother's Day. Where better to celebrate such a day than home with 3 generations of women!
