This post is for my dear friends who have endured the long five plus year wait to our daughters with me. The few of us who were logged in on 7/22 are the last in our group to receive our daughters. See if there are some faces that you M.M.S. girls recognize :) There are also pictures of some new friends including the parents to the twins in our group. I'll try to get the rest of the group later. It has been such a joy to see these families coming together.
Sorry this is so blurry...
A song we used to sing in childhood: "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other's gold."
Charity! your blogs are so precious! I love that you are able to comfort Natalie in Mandarin to help her feel safe with you! You are priceless! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of other families 'moment's' as well! Wanhan is very blessed to have you and Gary as parents! Paula

"Welcome home to the Happy Haus" is the greeting I used to receive from Gary when we arrived home from work each day. Gary and I brought our daughter Natalie home from China in November 2011 to live with us in our cozy cottage. In October of 2013, we unexpectedly lost Gary, our dear husband, father and friend.
Our family includes our two sweet Newfoundland dogs, Katie and Louie. Newfoundlands are working dogs, so we make sure our two always have a job to do. Katie and Louie are both certified therapy dogs and bring lots of joy to people who are in need of some Newfie love. They have also competed in Rally Obedience. Katie has earned a Rally Advanced title and Louie has earned a Rally Excellent title. In keeping with Newf tradition, Katie has become a proficient draft dog while Louie prefers practicing water rescue whenever he gets an opportunity. They are also both protectors of their little sister, Natalie.
