Reconnecing with old friends....











This past weekend we traveled to Peoria and Jetta got to meet many new people, as well as reconnect with old friends. On Sunday, we headed over the Humbles and visited for a bit. We let the girls play together and am not sure if they actually recognized each other or if they just realized there was another baby to play with. However, Abby says Bing is not very thrilled when other babies are around and she didn't seem to mind Jetta (to much). They seemed to enjoy each other and played for quite awhile. The one thing neither of them liked much was when either Abby or I held the other one. I have not really ever seen that side of Jetta, but did see it yesterday. It was great to see Bing, as she has changed so much since China. Abby has successfully fattened her up and she looks so darn cute. When we were in China she was sick for a good part of the trip, so it was nice to see her happy, moving around and smiling. She even made her way over to me and let me hold her for a bit. It is amazing how just a few pounds makes a difference, as I think Abby said she is weighing about 20 or so pounds and Jetta is just 16 pounds at her last check. The one thing I did notice was Jetta seems to have grown a bit, because Bing was every bit of 2 or 3 inches taller than Jetta in China and when they were standing side by side Jetta was nearly as tall as Bing. I am so glad that we were able to spend some time with them and hope we are able to do it more often, as I would love the girls to remain friends, as they were supposedly crib mates while they were in the orphanage. I'm hopeful that next year we'll be able to plan a reunion with all the families and will get to see all the progress made with all the girls. I'm gonna post some pictures of our visit with Abby and Bing. I love how happy they both look and am just glad to know they both have loving forever families.

What lovely pictures of the girls and it is so neat that Bing is really that close to be able to visit and hope they will be able to stay in touch forever as that is a wonderful thing since they were crib mates. Glad they got along so well and look like Bing is doing so well and glad she is gaining weight and feeling better too.
