REUNION WITH JIANGXI "SISTERS"

On the 13th, we met with two of the families who shared our adoption and travel experience in China. They both live in the Portland area and so are not very far away. The girls seemed to recognize each other, and had a good time playing for several hours while all us parents shared what was or wasn't working for us, and how our lives are changing. It was a very good visit, and we plan on trying to get together several times a year, as these girls are as close to sisters as each is likely to have. They have each grown so much already...



Later in the week, cousin Aidan came to visit for a night, so Tina and I had three kids with us. Along with Grandma, we all went swimming, another first for Elysa, and she did great. If we get her into the water some more we think she'll take to swimming very easily.



We then all went RV camping for the weekend. We were able to keep Elysa on her sleep routine, and although she woke more frequently each night than she does at home, she did very well overall and had a lot of fun...
