Sophia visits Lily

We made a road trip to see Jay, Nikki and Lily today. It was so much fun to see the 3 of them. Lily and Sophia ran off together like they had been best buds for years. They giggled, played, swam, blew bubbles, ate snacks, drank juice, took turns on the swings and slide, Sophia let Lily ride her bike and Lily let Sophia wear her princess crown. They then repeated all of thee above all afternoon. Lily snuggled right up to David and even gave him a kiss. She is such a sweet and spicy little girl! ;) It's unreal to think that we have been home with them for over 2 years now. All our little Pingjiang girls have summer birthdays and are turning 3. Jay and Nikki served us a delicious lunch and dinner and I totally hated leaving. They are such a wonderful family. We hope to get together after our Pingjiang reunion as well. Thank you Jay, Nikki and Lily for having us over and hanging out with us for the day. Love you tons!

How nice you could get together.
Looks to me like David was very relaxed.
Glad the little gals got along so well.Could have been a short visit had they fought like cats and dogs.

Looks like fun. Nikki & Lily have been busy social butterflies, as I just read they met Lynn (sewhopeful) at a park to play.

Wish people from my travel group weren't so far away....

It's great to get our girls together. By the way, did you get our invite for the Multi-cultural Festival Cookout on the 16th. We consider you travel-mates too even though we visited different provinces at the same time.
