The Telephone Call One Year Ago






Last year on this day I sat at the beach with Darrin and Amy and we waited for our phones to ring. Dave was at work, where he waited to hear from me. The referral phone calls are always so exciting. We were told we had a beautiful baby girl waiting for us in Shangrao in the Jiangxi province. Her name was Cha Wan and she was born in October. We are so happy we have truly been blessed with such sweet,funny,healthy,adorable daughters. Zoe runs after Jordyn and wants to be just like her big sister. She speaks in almost complete sentences, loves to color and has such a sweet way about her.

This past weekend we went up to Cape Cod to visit with Dave's cousins. They just opened a wonderful little sandwich shop in a town called Hull. It is on the beach and called Hull's Kitchen. The food is great and you can play some games on the porch while you eat. If anyone is in that area- please check it out. The owners are some very cool people.

The girls had a great time visiting although I have learned that Zoe does not travel as well as her big sister. She did not want to sleep there and it was very upsetting to hear her cry the way she did. The second night was much better than the first.

Congratulations!!! I remember the anticipation of "the call" both times. Zoe is such a pleasure and GORGEOUS. Gosh, she gets prettier each time I see her in person and the pictures are beautiful.

Talk to you soon,
Love,
Michele
