One Year Ago on July 31st

We FINALLY got to see our sweet ShiShi for the first time! I loved finally knowing where in China we would be traveling (Nanchang, Jiangxi) and when she was born (January 3, 2006) and what her name was and meant (XinShi -- New Poem.) That day was a rush of excitement and celebration. We still had a lot of unknowns ahead of us since we next had to wait for weeks before learning when we could travel. Of course we were also given just a little bit of information on her personality and even that needed time to blossom after we got home.

One year later and SOOOO thankful that China let this little girl join our family!
