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.
