Anniversary .......

Well, here we are at a very significant anniversary. It is the day that we left on our trip to China, three years ago. What an exciting time it has been for all of us.

This little girl has brought us more joy than we ever could have imagined. As she will tell you in no uncertain terms, she is pretty, smart, happy and loved. The most significant of all of these attributes is the "loved". There is no doubt in her mind that she is loved. Not only has our family fallen completely in love with her, but everyone who comes in contact with her.

I have been hoping to hear from other grandparents of Chinese grandchildren. It would be great if we could communicate with one another to compare notes.

We are in the process of planning a trip back to China next year. Our granddaughter will be five years old and her parents want her to see her home land. Her dream, while she doesn't fully understand why, is to walk on the Great Wall. She has seen picture of all of us there and wants to see it for herself.
