Getting together with Friends





On April 26 we had a chance to get together with many of the families who travelled together with us to China. It was a fun and interesting experience to see how all of the kids have grown and changed. In our minds and I'm sure in some of the other parents minds as well this would be such a special day for the kids. As they were all together we thought something magical and special may happen. A discovery of a special connection and memory of their past. Well... not exactly. At this stage in their lives it was just a bunch of other kids that they really didn't even know except the few that live close and get to see each other more often. They were more interested in the new toys and play things than each other. Ali liked going in and out the doors on the stair and playing in the rocks outside and going down the slide. It was a great day for the moms and dads to get caught up though. The kids have been with us now for over half of their lives. We are their families and the people around us are their friends and the people they know. Maybe someday when they are older they will understand the special connection they have with each other and decide to get to know each other better.
