Tonight the four of us had a quiet family dinner at home and raised our glasses to our daughter and future sister for the boys. It is already Monday, September 14th in China and it is Dani's first birthday. While it makes me very sad to miss this milestone, I know that we will be together for her 2nd birthday and many more after that. We mailed a care package to her this weekend with some pajamas, a couple of small toys, a photo album with pictures of us and even the dogs in it and a moon cake for her foster family. We also included a disposable camera and a letter translated to Chinese, with the hopes that her foster family will take additional pictures of her and give us more information on our beautiful daughter. We hope to hear from the CCAA in the next few weeks, but until then, wish our daughter a very Happy Birthday!
We also raised our glasses to our neighbor Mr. Crawford who passed away this weekend. He was 91 years old, and was the last original owner on our street. He was only too happy to tell you how much he paid for his house and loved coming over and asking Chris "what the hell he was fixing now." Up until just a couple of months ago he would cook family dinners every Friday for his kids and grand kids. He will be greatly missed and our street won't be the same without him.
