It doesn’t seem possible that seven years have passed.  Seven years ago, right now, we were on our way to Nanning after a lovely dim sum breakfast in the Guangzhou airport.  We actually signed the papers around 5 p.m. on December 8 in China, which would be around 7 a.m. here, and we met her around 6 p.m., which would be 8 a.m. here.

She’s pretty amazing.  We’re pretty damned lucky.

    Does it seem like seven years went be in a flash? Happy Family Day and many, many, many more. She was such a cute baby and now she’s a beautiful young girl.

    That first picture. My all - time favorite. Anytime I think of your sweet ODotter I think of that picture. Seven years. It can’t be that long. I was so young then. :D
