2 Years Ago

Tonight we celebrated our two year 'Mingaversary' with our precious little daughter. Two years ago we saw Ming for the first time at the Civil Affairs building in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China http://storyofmingmei.blogspot.com/2006/08/arrival-of-ming-mei.html . She's come a long way in 24 months.

We celebrated this special day by having Chinese food on the back patio with Keith and Stacy Nelson, our adoption friends from Spokane who we met during our trip to China as they were adopting Lily Mei from the Yong Feng Orphanage in which Ming lived. Lily and Ming are 16 days apart in age, lived in the same orphanage for the first part of their lives, and now live a short distance from each other in Spokane - thousands of miles from their birth place.

Lily still likes to put her hands in her mouth for pictures, and Ming has grown a little more comfortable with her Mommy and the camera.
Kylie is Lily's older sister...she also joined us on the trip to China so it was fun seeing how she has grown.

Thanks Grandpa!

Grandpa gave Ming an ice cream pie today. Man, does she love her "i-peam!"

Friday Night In Montana

Throwing sticks in the river for Joe the dog.

Eating my favorite C-foods on the back deck: Cantaloupe and Corn on the Cob.

Enjoying the blue sky with Mama.

Both Daddio and me look kinda sleepy in this pic.
