Zoe and Joana- Chinese Chefs

Zoe and Joana made us a wonderful Chinese dinner!!  There were no leftovers!  John was out of town and is very upset he missed this great meal.  It was great meeting Joana who is from Zoe's home town. 

Chloe Comes for a Visit

Chloe, John's second oldest daughter, visited recently and it was a wonderful weekend.  Chloe and Anna met for the first time.  Both girls loved her and had a great time.

Chloe will be a sophomore at the University of Oregon in September.  Go Ducks!

Born to Be Wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Xuzhou Family Reunion, Atlanta GA

Several weeks ago several families from the US and Canada joined in Atlanta for our first Xuzhou Family Reunion.  This reunion was especially meaningful for Anna as she was reunited with friends she hadn't seen since leaving the orphanage at Christmas.  Here are a few memories of that very special weekend.
