Last Saturday, April 3rd, marked our one-year anniversary of our referral call for Lauren. Wow, what a day I will never forget, the day I saw my sweet Lauren's face for the first time.
We celebrated by enjoying a breakfast with our friends. Over the 4 year wait, Mary, Terri, Suz, and I became friends and enjoyed spa days, etc. while we dreamed and prayed for our daughters. Denise is a friend who we met on our trip to China. She and her husband were in our travel group. Lauren and Emma (Denise's daughter) are from the same province. Pictured above from left to right: Caroline (Suz's daughter), Kailahni (Mary's daughter), My Lauren, Emma (Denise's daughter), and Gwyneth (Terri's daughter). This is our version of the "red couch" picture. :)
Suz made these awesome "carrots" made with goldfish, the girls loved them! Thank you Suz!!

In this picture, I think Lauren is saying, this is my peep, Kailahni...
We missed all of our awesome friends we have met through this adoption process, who mean the world to us, but don't live nearby. You are always in our thoughts and discussions whenever the Arizona Adoption Mama's get together..
