Today Tracy, Mitch, Tess and I met up with the other adoptive families we met while in China in 2006. Since we were coming from NY, MA and RI we all met at the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT. The girls, Mitch, Ben (another big brother who's 11) enjoyed the aquarium, especially the beluga whales followed by an early dinner at Mystic Pizza (the movie is 20 years old now). Her are a few pictures of the girls and their families. What's beautiful to see is the progress all of these wonderful girls have made and how happy they and their families are. We are all blessed by their presence and our lives are fuller and richer with each of them.
Although we don't live close by the other families, I think we will at least meet up once a year to catch up on each girls progress and remember the amazing experience we all enjoyed together in December 2006.
Here are the people in the photos:
