Cute little girls




We went to a picnic over the weekend with some families who have recently brought their daughters home from China. The first photo is of our friend Thea and her daughter Chloe. Thea and her husband adopted Chloe from Anhui province 10 months ago (Chloe is now 20 months old). Thea and her family live in our neighborhood and we see them sometimes at the grocery store, but her husband is being transferred to Tacoma and they'll be moving in a couple of weeks. Drat. I was hoping Chloe and Emma could hang out together. Thea says Chloe is starting to make word-like sounds...and they sound Chinese.

The other pictures are of Chris and his daughter Lily (in one of them Lily is chewing on one of the BBQ ribs Joe brought to the picnic). Chris and his wife returned from China just six weeks ago with Lily, who is 10 months old. I think she was born in Jiangxi province. Lily's folks say she is a great sleeper and an all-around joy.

It's fun to see families with their new children.

Your title "Cute girls" is very apropos. I count three cute girls in the first picture alone.
