Aunt Cindy with Baby Eliza and Uncle Andy with Baby Nicole
Our extended Chinese family reunited six months after traveling to China.
We were the Marching Pandas so it was only appropriate that we take Nicole and Eliza to see the pandas. Of course, like all babies they slept through the Pandas but the parents are PROUD MARCHING PANDAS.
My beautiful butterfly and her caterpillar.
Cindy, Andy and Nicole
Nicole was alittle afraid of Eliza in the beginning but we right back to their old selves once comfortable.
Andy and Nicole on the roof top were they were only allowed for breakfast because of baby Nicole. Boy, have times changed! Before, my guess is Andy and Cindy would have been the party on the roof top, now they are only allowed in during the AM. Hee! :)
Our first 4th of July with our baby.
There first fourth of July with their baby.
Sisters of the heart!
A loving family forever!
Our "Cinderella" carriage ride with our Cinderellas.
AMAZING JOY! They have learned so much in the six months they have been home! Nicole is too cute and even uses the words for "Bye Bye."
The SUPER PROUD Daddies!
and their lovin' Mama's.
Sleeping baby Nicole
Pure sweetness!
Finally, I can finally post about Eliza being about to see one of her Hunan Sisters. They are definately sisters of the heart and we are forever grateful for all of the lasting friendships that we made during that "emotional" (Cindy's words and I like it! :)) trip to unite our families. We hope over the duration of the years, we are able to meet up with all of our travel group mates that we spent some of the best and emotional days of our lives with.
So, we have now many aunts and uncles and many sisters. We got to see Aunt Cindy, Uncle Andy and sister Nicole during our recent vacation to San Diego. It was AMAZING to see them. Nicole is flourishing so well. She looks so healthy and well adjusted. Andy and Cindy, as always, are lookin' good and stylin'. We were able to spend the fourth of July with them on the beautiful coastal waters of San Diego. The following day we adventured to the beautiful San Diego Zoo. We got to talk about parenting and raising an adoptive child, our experiences in the short six months that we have been home, post adoption homestudies and readoption here in our beautiful country. We also discussed, someday, returning to China, future vacations and get togethers with other of our travel mates. It was a fun-filled action packed two days but...oh, so worth it for the girls' souls and for us.
So without further to do, here are the pictures Andy and Cindy took of our time together. Watch out because Nicole is a beauty inside and out, her cuteness is going to pop off the page.

OH GIRL! I cried. I'm a big cry-baby. I miss you guys so much - I would have given anything to be able to be there with you...we both would have. Well, and little miss too!
Missing you all so much! I loved these pictures but they sure made me homesick for my China family.
