Two years ago today.......

This picture was taken of Audrey just 2 days before we met her. She is holding the puppy that we sent her. This is my favorite picture of her from inside the orphanage. I hope they kept Audrey warm enough :)
The dreaded "Red Couch Photo"...loved by the parents.....hated by the children!!
We're going home!!!! Waiting at the Guangzhou airport.
Tonight as I was putting Audrey in bed, I told her "the story of Audrey" again. It was two years ago today that we met her for the very first time. She loves HER story and giggles every time I tell it:

Two years ago Mommy and Daddy flew all the way to China because we knew of a special baby named Qin Chun Hong who lived in an orphanage and needed somebody to love her. We were in the lobby of our hotel when a bunch of babies with their caretakers came walking in. The guide said "parents of Chun Hong please come forward" (this is where I act all excited and wave my hands). That's us, we say, we're the lucky parents of Chun Hong. I remind Audrey that while the caretaker was still holding her...she pointed to me and said "Mama" while Audrey stuck her little lip out and shook her head no. I'll ask Audrey "Didn't you like your new mommy" she replies "Moooooooom, I love you." At the end of the story I always ask her "how's come mom and dad are lucky enough to be your parents forever and forever." She'll say "don't know" and I tell her that God picked her out extra-special just for us.
