China Families Reunion - With a Twist!



On Saturday, we got together with the families who traveled with us to China for our daughters. We always love getting together with them and try to get together at Christmas and in the Summer. While McKenna and her family live in our area and we can schedule playdates, the other family lives 2 hours away and we see them twice a year. In this picture: Caroline, McKenna, Abigail.


The girls played for 6 hours straight with no arguments (anyone who has girls knows that any more than 2 girls at a time can create drama). Only once, after 6 hours together, did Caroline and McKenna melt down and poor Abigail was trying to be the peacemaker - at age 5! Both girls had a good cry and got over it and played again. The girls are all getting so big and they are all asking about their adoption stories. Wierd!


So, where's the twist? I know you're dying to find out.......


Weeeellllll, Abigail will be a big sister in about 6 months. Her mommy and daddy are going to have a baby...well, actually TWO BABIES!!! So exciting!! We are so happy for them!! We were so shocked when they told us and I think the oxygen was sucked right out of the room when they announced twins!


The next get-together will be even more fun! Can't wait!


Here's some more pictures from the day:

That is impressive. Six hours and 3five year olds. Gotta be some kind of a record.

It's so nice that youv'e kept these ties. So important for the girls. And yes, must have been a huge shocker, the news.

All three girls are so cute together!
