Seven years ago... March 17, 2016

Hi everyone--

I can't wait to get caught up on the blog. I really miss blogging, but life has continued to be hectic, even though I'm trying to slow down and savor more...

However, I couldn't let today pass by without remembering where we were seven years ago... Seven years ago, we were in the Hampton at the Columbus airport, eagerly anticipating our 6 a.m. flight to DC and then to China.

Seven years ago tonight, we left our home as a family of five, and we would return three weeks later as a family of six. As we tried to get some sleep in our hotel room that night (before our 6 a.m. flight the next day), we couldn't begin to imagine the beautiful baby who would join our family just six days later... Grateful for precious memories of an amazing trip to China, for the friendships that began in Kunming, and, of course, for the baby who has grown into a funny, athletic, smart, and kind second grader-- our amazing Ellie-Kate!

More soon--

Christie
