This follows our trip to pick up my baby daughter Marika in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province in China. This is for my friends and family to follow along on this journey to China, a country that I love. I will be traveling with my 5 year old daughter Mia and my twin sister, Judy. We leave Seattle February 13 and return home again on February 25! First stop is Nanjing (near Shanghai) for a week, then down to Guangzhou (South, down near Hong Kong). Should be a great trip!!!

I just couldn't wait to get to the computer this morning and so rewarded with all the photos. Mari is just Gorgeous, so big and rosy. And Mia's smile tells the story, there is such joy there being a big sister. I am so happy for you all and really feel lucky to have shared these moments with your family. Here's wishing you a peaceful evening and a good nights rest and hoping Mari has a good appetite and you can really enjoy your special time now learning all about each other.

Hi Kathleen, Mia, Judy & Marika!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you all arrived in China safe and sound! Congratulations on getting Marika, she is so cute with her rosy baby cheeks! Mia looks so happy, and the picture of Markia on Mia's lap is so sweet; good thing Mia poked her head to the side or else we couldn't see her behind Marika!
