I'm a little behind in posting this ..... Chinese New Year was actually January 26th. A few weeks ago we flew to Philadelphia for a big CNY party hosted by LaVida, our adoption agency. We had so much fun and the best part was that we got to see most of the families we traveled to China with. We even stayed with one family for the long weekend who we've become great friends with. Here are some of my fav pics from our time there. We look forward to making this trip each year to celebrate the CNY and reunite with our dear travel friends.
I'm bummed this one is out of focus but it really captures the moment. These 3 little girls (Megan, Joanna and Danielle) were in our travel group to China to get their new baby sisters. They were so sweet to Chandler and even helped confirm her nickname of Channie! Chan just adores them and so do I.
I love these kids!
Chan sure loves them too! (Danielle and Joanna with Chan is this pic)
I met my friend Candice in Phillie in April '08 for a travel prep meeting. Even though we didn't travel together, we've stayed in touch and it was so nice to finally meet Little Georgia.
Party Girl!
Chandler is the only one on the dance floor in this one. No fear! I guess she was making a request for one of her favorite songs.

Four of the seven families from ourtravel group. Friends for life!
We stayed with Marie, Brian and Jade. Jade shares a birthday with Chandler and came to the orphanage a day after Jade. While not identical, more and more we wonder if they're twins or at least cousins. We're hoping to have them tested sometime this year. Regardless, we are great friends with Jade and her parents now.

Doing some work in the kitchen. I couldn't resist the matching outfits.
Our unforgettable ride to the airport. The girls played the game of who could fake cough louder. They cracked themselves and their moms up!
