Rebecca's Party (Photo # 4)

The Hebrew on the Shirt reads: "I love my daddy and my mommy!"

Lucy and Joe Hensley at Rebecca's Party

Lucy was wearing a cool necklace that Rebecca was fascinated with. She picked out one of her special books to give as a present to Rebecca. She also helped Rebecca with all the un-wrapping. Thanks Lucy!

Rebecca's Party in Scott Lounge (1)

Alix Dorr and Susan Shillinglaw took some fantastic photos at Rebecca's Party yesterday evening. I'll post a few of them here. Rebecca so much loved the party. She really loves being around lots of people. I guess she spent her time in China that way in the orphanage. Catherine and I were overwhelmed by all the love and gifts shown to Rebecca and us. We really didn't expect to be showered in such a tremendous way! Thank you to all!!

Rebecca Has a Party Today in Her Honor!

A Nice Encounter with a 12-Week-Old Puppy

I Love to Swing!

Rebecca had her first play-date with the Alexandria FCC neighborhood group this Saturday. FCC stands for "Families with Children from China," and Rebecca met some really nice babies who share a similar story with her. As you can see from the photo, one of her favorite new activities is to swing!

Rebecca and Robin

Here are Rebecca and her cousin Robin sharing a special moment last Saturday at my sister Lisa's house in Shadyside, Maryland.

A Visit to Maryland

We took Rebecca to Maryland yesterday (Saturday), to see her Grandma Cook, Grandpa Cook, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jim, and her cousins, Joey and Robin.

First, here are some pictures with Grandma and with Grandpa:
