Our Jiangxi Sisters -- Part #2

The day after Shartzer's came for a visit we loaded up in the car and went to visit the Causey family. Another Jiangxi family. It was so great to see them. We have not seen them since we have returned home from China.

We got there and received a HUGE warm welcome from the whole family! The are such a happy loving family - and their 3 boys adore the girls. The boys are so sweet!! Arden is a very lucky little sister!

It was so sweet to see the three girls play (and fight over toys) together. It just melted my heart as we talked about our adoptions, looked over pictures from our trip, and talked about how they have grown. It makes me want to go back again (tomorrow if I could!!)

I had a friend of mine make these really cute little shirts. On the front are little asian girl faces w/ bows in their hair & then each name under the little face & then Jiangxi sisters on the back. For Mother's day we made Mike's mom a tote-bag w/the same little face on it & under that it read "Grandma's Grab-Bag". I saw one of the other groups w/ cute little shirts, and it made me think about the handbag we made for Mike's mom and thought this would be too cute!

We had such a great time & vowed to do it again -- and not let so much time go by this time.



These are the girls in their cute little shirts.

... how cute is this from behind!!

All the kids together ...


Anne Marie fell in love with Arden's brothers -- it was so sweet!!

I am catching up on reading your blog today.... We are so jealous to not have been with you! What a precious group! We did see some of our China sisters this summer but our Jiangxi sisters are extra special. We will be back again in the summer of 2010. I am hoping we can plan something together then! So glad you had this great time to connect!
