This precious picture is for the moms who forgot their cameras at Liberty Park yesterday. All this adorableness in one place was absolutely delightful. Look at all their sweet faces. These girls are so beautiful! It was fun to see Xanthe's friend Libby Mei, who lived at the same orphanage as Xanthe. Libby is only two weeks older than Xanthe, so they have literally known each other since Xanthe was four days old and arrived at the orphanage. Not that either of them was aware of it at the time! They may have slept in the same room their first year. sorry, Libby! I know Xanthe is a restless sleeper and those cribs are side by side!
My cousin Sarah brought her boys to balance out the equation. Talk about yin and yang...Alex, in the 95th percentile, towered over his playmates, most of whom are barely on the chart at the 5 percentile. Alex was like the bodyguard! So cute, all of them. Getting together with the other moms made me realize how vitally important it is for me to communicate with them and find that Xanthe's hang-ups are typical. It's great to have that affirmation. I regret not taking advantage of it more over the past two years. Thanks, moms!

That was someone's fabulous idea. Those girls are so precious.
That is a whole lot of cuteness! Hope your cousin Sarah is doing well!
Your picture tells a thousand words! Amazing amount of love and history in each one of these little girl's stories. I will definitely include your link in my post. It is so important for these girls to feel that they are not isolated in their experiences here. Thanks for coming...it was fun!
It was so wonderful to see everyone. I marvelled at Xanthe... she has blossomed so! We can't let too much time pass before we get the girls together again!
