Thankful Thursday will be over in 13 minutes, but this has been my first opportunity to sit down at the computer! What a whirlwind of a day!
Today I am thankful to have so many friends in the adoption community. Today, that special circle of friends grew a little larger. We finally met Debbie & LiLi in person. It feels odd to say that I just met her, because I feel like I have known her for a long while now. LiLi is so beautiful and has such a little personality. Lucy & Ally joined us too. This is the second time I have met Ally since she came home. Lucy and I go back to when I first brought Linzi home, our older daughters went to brownies together. I am so looking forward to getting to know Ally better and can't wait until she feels comfortable enough to let me hold her and spoil her a little. :D It was so nice to chat with Lucy and Debbie and let the girls run loose in the playpit. Then we took a walk to Nordstrom's and ran into Sharon and her daughters Ella Kate and her amazingly sweet big sister. What a wonderful and small world surprise that was! I had planned on taking pictures, but I never pulled my camera out, not even once! I left it up to the professional. :-) The girls were constantly on the go, but Debbie got some cute shots, especially of LiLi, the little shopper girl with her bags.
I am especially thankful that Linzi felt much better after her ordeal at the dentist yesterday. (See last post) In the morning, she was still a little bit shut down, but by noon, she was back to her silly self. And her lip doesn't look near as bad as I thought it would. She is a fast healer. Thank you so much for the sweet comments. I know you mommas understand how I felt yesterday.
I am thankful that the first week of school seems to be going well and for the little bit of freedom it gives me. ;-)
I am thankful for the way Linzi expresses her love so freely and uninhibitedly. (sp?) She says to me several times a day "Mommy, do you know how much I love you?" When I ask how much, she says "I just love you forever, and ever, and ever!" How sweet is that? Sometimes, she will just randomly say "Mommy, I just love you." and then give me a bunch of sloppy kisses. Life is about as sweet as it gets!
Note to Debbie: Linzi and I are going to get some cherries tomorrow and cook up something yummy! Thanks!

So glad you had such a wonderful day with friends. Isn't it wonderful how you automatically feel connected to other moms with children from China?
I am glad Linzi is doing much better. She is so cute.
Sounds like alot of fun. I am glad Linzi is feeling better.
I am glad Linzi was alot better today! Have fun cooking!
I hope that Linzi is feeling better today. All the way home LiLi said "Where Winzee go?" and I told her she went home, and she said, "Let's go Winzee's home!" I guess that she made a friend :D
Your day sounds perfect! I soooo wish we lived closer. :) Glad to hear Linzi is feeling better! I knew she would be back to her silly self in no time!!
Glad you had a good day with friends and I hope Linzi feels better!
