Jessi Comes Home

Jessi's Anniversary It is hard to believe that one year ago today we first held Jessi in our arms. It seems as if she has been in our family forever. We have lovely memories of that hot, sunny day in Wuhan, China when the Hubei Eight were introduced to their forever families. Jessi cried for about 15 minutes and then fell asleep in our arms (after playing with mom's bracelets for a few minutes and eating a few fruit puffs. She is growing by leaps and bounds and talking a mile a minute, repeating everything she hears...tonight she was complimenting Mom's nightwear - "pretty pajamas!".... We send out a special hug to Jessi's Hubei "sisters" in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Tennessee, North Carolina from all of us in Virginia.
