children's hope which is our adoption agency had their midwest picnic yesterday. Over 400 people all families who have adopted through CHI (not only China all countries). It was such a beautiful sight to see all the "colorful" families like ours. right away we saw a family we had traveled with to China whose baby was now 3 and so big! when we sat down at the table we quickly met a family from Arkansas who had adopted 5 kids from 3 different countries 1 who was from Mei's very orphanage! (if mei tells you that act excited she"s VERY thrilled at that info)
these two pictures are important women who helped in bringing Mei home. Melody on top works in China CHI and mary on the bottom is director here. It was so awesome to meet the voice we spoke to on the phone and emails so so many times. What awesome jobs they have right?
one of the activities was a martial arts demo. these pics turned up out of order but you get the idea, at the end of the show they let all the kids come up to break a board and they got to take it home. It was really cool for the kids, except now my living room has turned in to a Kung fu gym.
mei had a great " ha yah"

Hooray, Tam. I was wondering when that was, but we hadn't talked about it in so long. I can't wait to hear all about it.
