Presenting some pictures.......finally

Picture Decriptions:

1)Red Couch Picture....All the children on the couch are in our travel group. THey are all West Sands babies, West Sands is our agency.
2)This is our Nanchang travel group. We were with these people for the whole China trip.
3)Ryan and I really became close with one of our fellow travel families, Maria, Todd, and their newly-adopted daughter Sarah. They live in South Carolina. They made our trip fantastic. Becoming first-time parents with them, was unbelievably wonderful. We plan on staying in contact with them for many years to come.
4)This is Ally in the arms of Li Ping, our travel guide. Li Ping has made China adoptions his life's work. He is a true advocate for all the China babies. He was a truly amazing man, funny, super well-organized and he "knew the ropes" as our other guide reminded us. We will miss him terribly.
5)Here is ally all dressed up in her Chinese dress and pretty new silver shoes for her red couch photo.
6)I LOVE this picture. This outfit was given to me by Kayla for Ally shortly after we recieved our referral. kayla was one of my Spanish students. She graduated in 2006 and now attends the University of Louisville studying nursing and currently has a 4.o GPA. Can you tell I'm proud of her? Ally is going to adore her!
