Friday... All Five Beijing "Babe's" Reunite

On Friday, we got together for dinner and everyone came, including the C's, whom we hadn't seen at all yet. Their beautiful daughter Esther is a day older than Emma, and she is the tallest of all the girls. It was so fun getting the girls together again since this was the first time that all five of them had seen each other since China. The girls had so much fun together playing hide-n-seek through the restaurant (which we had almost all to ourselves) and ran all over the place. It reminded me of all the fun times we had in China, this time with a few extra kids in tow.

Emma and Kelly are best buds!


Poor Ian was the ONLY boy out of all our families.. and he didn't at all enjoy playing with the girls!! :-P


Ian & Rachel (??!!)


Between our five families, there are seven little girls from China and one more on the way! Meili's mei-mei is waiting for her family in China, and they hope to bring her home next summer.

Another shot of the girls. Poor things, we lined them all up and then at least five of us were snapping pictures right and left. I think I took about 30 shots of the girls, because they're never all looking or smiling in the same picture! These two were the best out of all the ones I took.


The five beautiful "Beijing Babe's" who came into our families' lives on August 24, 2004. They were all together for their first year+ of their lives, and now they're scattered throughout the USA, but we plan to keep them together and in contact as they grow.
