A week ago today we had a nice visit with Joanna and family. Joanna is Gracie's best BEST friend from the orphanage in China. We have been told by many that they were
inseparable during their time there. Last week we got together for the night at a hotel with tons of fun things for the kids to do....swimming, putt putt golf, pool, video games, etc. etc. We celebrated Joanna's 7
th birthday. We all had a BALL!!! The girls just pick right up where they left off. They have a very special connection for sure! One thing we did notice that was different about this visit was that neither girl called the other by their Chinese name.........that was a first. They only used their English names.
Time marches on......
