Anslee's old friend Maddy :-)

Today Anslee and I had lunch and played with Bernice and Maddy. Bernice and her husband Darren were in our adoption group. They live in Ohio but were in town visiting family. It was so wonderful seeing Bernice and Maddy and the bond they have. Bernice's dad and her adorable niece Elise came with them and were both so enjoyable! Anslee and Maddy had fun playing together (as much as 12-14 month olds do!).
I'll post pictures from this play date later in the week.

After we drove home I put Anslee down for a nap (thank goodness she didn't fall asleep in the car!) and looked at some pictures from our trip. The memories from the trip already seem so fuzzy and distant. It seems as if Anslee has always been here. Keith and I love her as much as if we had given birth to her.

Each family had to have their picture taken for the adoption certificate. We came straight here after we left the orphanage and ate lunch. Zhou took this picture with his camera before the offical camera guy was ready. Keith had just said he can't believe we finally have Anslee with us. Terri
