I love you so much, my sweet, precious baby girl! XOXO
Stephanie, I love your blog. Can you believe that it has been 20 months since you first held Sophia? What adorable pictures you have posted.
It's now time to go get Gabrielle from her bed, as she is calling my name.

Ok - now it's my turn - those make me cry!!!! I LOVE that DAY!!!!
I tried to comment earlier, but computers are obviously NOT my friend!
Anyway, I love the pics. I also will ALWAYS remember that very special day. Gosh, Sophia is so tiny there. Crazy how time flies.
Love you guys!!!
Looking back at her journey pictures makes me cry too. I will never forget being in that room with all of you, the wooden benches and tables, waiting to be interviewed by the Chinese officials. Forming bonds with people that will last a life time!
It's a Pingjiang/Red Thread connection that will never break!
Love you all.....

I'm crying in my chicken and fries over here!!! Thanks a lot
Oh the memories. Just makes me want to cry. And to think we will be doing it again. I think that makes Keith want to cry. ;)

I know.....I can't wait to do it again either! This time I will be much more prepared. Video, more pictures and so on.
I love that time too. Ours was a bit earlier than yours, but I still watch the Gotcha Day video of our first day with Caroline. I still tear up everytime.
I'm glad we were able to help you with the technical stuff so you could post on TSOY while you were there. I especially watched your journey because Sophia's referral picture looked so much like my Peter at that age!
I'm so glad the Sweet Peas are still chatting and we now have friendships around the country!
Oh my word.....I can remember nearly being sick to my stomach about the computer stuff all working as much as being nervous about getting Sophia. And when I got there, I had no trouble with the computer at all! :)(or Sophia) All that extra worrying for nothing! Imagine that?!?!
Those are some good memories. I'm ready to go now for our second one. This time I will make sure that we have pictures and video of them handy him to me. We didn't get any of that with Hannah. I also hope that we have as nice of families to travel with as we did with Hannah's.
Those wonderful pictures were taken by me!! ;)
What wonderful memories and a bounding time that was.Just think of the friendships that have developed from that time. I thank God for people who addopt these loving little children. How very lucky they are to be raised in such loving christian homes.
God Bless You!!!!
Mr. Brian
