One month home!

Today Sarah-Grace has been home for a month.  She's fitting into the family as if she were always here.  She gets along well with everyone most of the time.  She loves to give hugs and kisses and get piggy back rides.  She's slowly teaching us Chinese, but learning English even more quickly.  ("good idea!" and "spicy" are already part of her vocabulary.) She's helped cook over a fire, swum in our lake and the pool (and is already feeling much more comfortable in the water), gone fishing and out on the boats, visited out of state relatives, played volleyball. . .  Summer is here and all of us are enjoying it!  

We leave for the beach on Thursday, and we're looking forward to taking both her and Kai to the ocean for the first time.  It should be fun!

So do she and Kai chatter in Mandarin together? I would think that the companionship and commonality of that past life feels comforting?

And, Annie, when do you leave on your trip?

I am so thrilled and happy to see this kids finally home enjoying your family!!!!
