Boy Did We Have Fun

We had fun watching them and they had fun playing together and just being two little silly girls. As many of you know, our trip to China took place with several other families. We all have a special bond with each other whom we never knew before the China trip and probably will never see again for the most part. However, on the road to adoption and on our trip to China, we got to know a certain couple rather well and have remained in contact. Unfortunately, they live in Baltimore and we live at Fort Bragg, NC so aside from emails, exchange of photos, and a couple of phone calls, we had yet to be able to visit one another in person until a couple days ago. Beth had to serve for six months recently in Iraq and has just been home for a couple months before she got a job in GA. Since we live at the halfway point between Baltimore and Georgia, Beth and Merrilee stopped in for a quick visit on their way to GA. We certainly missed catching up with Mark but, at the same time, enjoyed our visit with Beth and Merrilee immensely. Kassidy rarely takes up to any child quickly. Being an only child, we have to take any opportunity given to us when other children are around and use it as a teaching mode. Sometimes she does not share very well and she never wants any other child to get to close to her mommy and daddy. However, as soon as Merrilee walked through the door they just clicked. As the evening went on, so did the fun. It was so good to see them and, hopefully, we can get a visit from Mark on an occasion in which he drives down to GA. They also brought each one of us a gift as you can see in the picture from an Outer Banks vacation but the best gift ever was being able to see them. Thanks Beth for stopping and spending some time together. Will look forward to doing it again.
