Monday, July 16 was our one-year anniversary of our Gotcha Day...the day that Jade was placed in our arms to stay forever. It just doesn't seem possible that a year has passed. Where did the time go?
We went to Rhode Island for a Gotcha Day reunion with some of our travel group on Sunday the 15th. It was such a great day! The grandmother of one of our families who traveled with us was there, as was the pediatrician who traveled with us. Both were amazed at how Jade has changed. It still amazes me!
We have a 14-year-old from Hong Kong staying with us for one month. Jade thinks she is so great, and lights up when Christie speaks to her in Mandarin.
Since Monday was our actual Gotcha Day, Jade and I had egg rolls for lunch & Christie and I cooked an authentic Chinese meal for supper. We still have leftovers from that meal!
This photos is from our Gotcha Day dinner. You can't see it, but she is wearing the outfit she was wearing on our actual Gotcha Day. It finally fits her! Here she is trying out chopsticks, and quite successfully!
