Jia's Family Day

Jia was placed in our arms five years ago today. We spent the day with our travel group. Here is Carrie, Jia and Jia.

And the girls with big sister Marie and little sister Willa.

It was raucous fun as usual!

The heat was reminiscent of our first days with Jia in Wuhan. There was also inside fun like dress-up:

And playing with many small things:

The girls got along famously as usual! We were glad to be able to spend the day with them and their families.

These past five years of being Jia's parents have enlightened us, challenged us, and brought more joy than we could ever have imagined. Our lives are exponentially richer than they were before. We love our sweet Jia so much and count our lucky stars every day that she is our daughter.
