Jia Day Number 6!

On July 10th, we celebrated six years with our brilliant, beautiful Jia. We spent the day playing at a place called "The Works." It's a place where kids learn...how things work!

The highlight of our time there was making working compasses and cardboard race cars! The races were on!

I made one too and we raced them down our driveway after we came home. Such fun!

Jia loved her present this year. It was a book about Chinese folklore, one of the many gifts we purchased on our adoption trip for her. We learned the origin of the Dragon Dance and similar tales.

We also read Jia's lifebook again. I made it a while back and happily need to update it with new information! At the time of her adoption, we only had photos of her foster mother. We now know her name, and recently learned her address and phone number! We also received a message that she would love to hear from her foster children, so we are going to send a package of photos and a letter to her.

Our post from the day we met Jia is here. We have all come such a long way. Especially Jia, of course, our brave, strong girl. We love you so much sweet Jia!
