Dinner with Facebook Friends in China

Tonight we ate with some friends I met through email and Facebook... we have watched each other's journey's to our daughters, prayed for one another, and encouraged one another. Julia is 4 (pictured in the red dress), Talia is 3 (in the striped dress), our little Amaris is 2. (still at her orphanage). Gabriella has been home from China for 2 years, she is in the white dress in the middle, age 5.  

Todd is flying solo and doing a phenomenal job with little Talia Mei in the striped sailor dress... even without his amazing wife Mary Jane Postiglione... our family is in the middle,  me (Patty), Tyanna, Gabriella (adopted July 2010 from Guilin) and my husband Jason, and Barry and Karen Rapp with little Julia. Julia is a giggly little bundle of Joy bringing such excitement to her new mama and baba... she is a smart little princess... she covers her mouth everytime she laughs... much like a pre-teen who sees a cute boy for the first time. Talia loves to talk and sing... she is such a little princess too... I hope to have the girls stand together in a day or two... especially next to Gabriella... home for 2 years. Julia and Gabriella were 3 pounds a part at Gotcha Day.

This is little Julia...

This is Talia...also a little one...

 Gabriella had so much fun playing with them at the end of our dinner together.

Unfortunately, most of the photos were blurry at dinner because a setting on the camera was messed up. I guess the good thing is that we all had cameras, and we are getting the kinks out (ie. all the bad photos) before we get Amaris tomorrow.
