Meeting Sophia

What a wonderful day! As you can see, Lily and Sophia really liked each other. Lily is normally so shy in new situations. It always takes her forever to warm up to people, especially children her own age. But, with Sophia, things were a bit different. Sophia is just beautiful. They were about the same heighth, but Lily was 5 pounds heavier. Sophia's tiny frame looked even tinier with Lily beside her. Sophia is 20 months old, while Lily is 19 months old. If you haven't seen her blog, click on the link to the left titled Simply Sophia in my bloglist.
We absolutely had the best time eating out with the girls, Susan, and Riz. It was such a blessing to be able to actually meet each other. The orphanage where our girls were is a very small one, and they only had 6 adoptions this year. Three of those were in our group. There is no way to know if our girls spent time together, but it is a big possibility since they were there at the same time.

Susan and Riz- Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon. We hope that we will be able to get together many more times in the future. It looks like a friendship is definitely in the making!
