The Monthly Get Together

As many of you know, some of us in the New England area have been trying to get together once a month or so at someone's home. Some of us are waiting families and some of us have adopted beautiful daughters. Kikalee and R. started this off with Chinese New Year, Donna and Bob hosted in March, and this month, it was our turn. This was a good thing, as it forced Tim and I to do some actual housework. We do have some shame!!!

Thanks to Cheryl and Bruce, Kikalee and R., Sparky and Bob, Anne and Marty, John, LaSalette and Emma, and Kevin, Karen and Julie for coming. People brought along gifts, flowers and much yummy food. What a deal!!!

Next month we are hoping to meet up outside somewhere in a park for a picnic. Hopefully some of the folks that couldn't make it this time will be able to come. We are especially all eager to met Lulu, Deborah and Simon's new daughter, who came home from China about two weeks ago. Until then, we will stalk you through your blog.


Here are some pictures:

Cheryl and Bruce, waiting for Mya:


Me and Tim:


LaSalette and John came, brining their 17 month year old daughter Emma, who came home in November. Not only is Emma walking, but she can say her name, give kisses, and say "No!". Tim and I were kinda hoping John and LaSalette might be sick of her by now, and leave her with us, but no such luck!





Emma, with her daddy:


Kevin and Karen also came, along with their three year old daughter Julie. They are currently waiting to adopt a second daughter from China. Julie and Emma became fast friends.



And here's a picture of Anne, Kikalee, and Sparky. Some pretty hot waiting mamas!!!
