Yesterday we spent the afternoon with several of Mimi's "sisters" and their families.
Shannon and Jim opened their lovely home to us. The girls played on their play structure, ate tons of goodies and went down a massive water slide about 7,000 times.
The parents reminisced about our trip to China and reveled in the many similarities our girls shared with one another.
It is so very hard to believe that it has been five years since we brought these babies home.
We have agreed to attempt to get the girls together 3 times a year.
The difficult part of these celebrations is that when they get together it is as if they have never met.Within an hour or so they find their common ground and relax.
Hopefully, with more frequent meetings and with their ages, we can create a lifelong relationship.
The most emotional point is when we all look at these beautiful, strong,capable young women and reaffirm how lucky we are to be a family.
