Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my birthday which so far has been a great day but it in no way compares to last year on this very day when we were on the plane on the way to China!  It does not seem like a year already.

I'm working on my big post for our 1 year Adoption Day anniversary next week. 

And before I forget again, who was it that told Gerry her kids read our blog at the CHI reunion?  Hi!!

We just returned from a long weekend in St Louis. Our adoption agency is based there. They have a reunion every 2 years for ALL the families that have ever adopted through them all around the world. It was a great reason to go to St Louis to see the friends we traveled with. We were able to get together with 5 of the families that were in our travel group of 19 families last August. We were all together at the reunion, then had a smaller gathering at Kevin & Stacy's Saturday evening, Sunday we headed to the zoo then back to the pool at the hotel. So much fun to see the people that we have shared so much with.
