I recently stumbled upon some video footage that Susie took that first night in China. I am incredibly humbled by how much Heavenly Father has blessed her to overcome some incredible challenges. I was amazed at how I could hardly remember the frail and horrible condition she was in, but I don't forget how overwhelming it felt at the time. Her aunt Susie has been such a support to me and a special friend to Lachlan. I always get choked up thinking about that special bond.
Here she is...take a good look at those expensive teeth she is sporting, it will be the last time you see them!!
Big girl bed. She was so excited to be a big girl...even gave up her 'sucking blankets' (hallejuah!). She specifically asked for a kitty cat bedspread and sheets with paw prints--may God continually bless Target for meeting that request.
Celebrating with Chinese food!
This kid loves her dad. There was never a kid who loved someone more...
Chinese kids love noodles. Not a cliche'. A fact.

Suz and Aunt Merrilee developed some special bonds on that trip as well. Unfortunately Merrilee doesn't remember them due to her copious Ambien usage.
It's amazing what a love and time do, isn't it. She's a cutie, that's for sure. Love her bedspread, too. I MISS Target. They told me when we moved, though, that even with the economic downturn, they are slated to build 20 of them in the next 5 years across the state. Let's hope one of them is here.
Aw, Happy birthday, little Miss!
