Yard sale time with Mia

First of all, thanks to everyone for your congrats on our LID. We are excited to be making progress but know we still have a while to go. Especially thanks to my blogger buddy over at The Seventh Diamond who did a congrats post for me on her blog.

We went to Mia's house to set up for a yard sale. Who knew yard sale set up could be so much fun! We let the girls play while we priced and organized. As usual, they had a great time.

Jenny went to Jack in the Box and got the girls some dinner. We set them up to picnic on the steps and they had some good girl time. I love this photo...looks like some some really funny conversation going on.


The picnic originally started on a rubbermaid tub but was moved to the steps after some milk was spilled. We found some slinkys and the girls thought they were the best toys ever.



Can you say ATTITUDE?? I think Jenny and I may be in trouble some day. Mia's milk was all gone (Annslee had already taken care of hers) and she was letting me know she wanted more. Annslee is obviously not amused that I am taking a photo instead of getting it ; )


I love watching their friendship grow. When we got home from China in Nov. '05 we arrived on Mia's birthday and they had only been home a week themselves. We were so touched that Mia's family came to the airport to meet us and welcome Annslee home. Over the last year and a half they have really gotten close and they play so well together. There are moments of course when sharing becomes and issue..but hey, they are two.

*As a funny sidenote for those who don't know how we met Mia's family. Mia's daddy and I met in our DTC group chat room one night..now there's a story for you! Through chatting online we realized we were only about 20 miles apart and we starting hanging out about 6 months before we got our referrals and then a lot more after that. Jenny and I talked constantly during that last month wondering if we would make the cut off for referrals. We are so blessed to have their friendship.

It is truly a wonderful thing to have friends like that! We too have a very special bond with another family we met through Francesca's and their daughter's adoption (we traveled together and the girls are from the same SWI). We try to meet up at last three times a year (seeing how they live in MI and we live in PA), but they are more than friends to us, they are family...which I am sure you can say the same.
Love the photos of the girls!

Those two are great together! I do wonder what is so very funny in that first picture. There's nothing like a good gab session with a friend...even when you're only 2 years old! :)
